Psalm 15:2-3

 

Psalm 15:2-3

The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart; whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others;

You haven’t made it easy, Lord,

The standard’s pretty high.

I want to walk the path You laid,

And fall short when I try.

But I keep trying in the faith

That I’ll improve each day.

Though there are those days when I fear

I’ll never find the way.

Yet every time I fail to live

Quite as You’ve asked I do,

You seem to give me one more chance

To try and live like You.

And I will take each chance I get

To try once more to be

More like the person you modeled

And less like broken me.
