Just As I Am

As the sun set in the night time And the day was finally through Before laying down his weary head He had one more thing to do He dropped down on his knees Put his forehead against the bed Spoke directly to his God And this is what he said “Oh Lord I’ve been a sinner Off and on throughout my life Not always been so loving To my sweet and caring wife I’ve not always thought about The neighbors down the road For I’ve spent too much time Toting my own heavy load” He shifted his tired weight Feeling uncomfortable right now Harder it seemed to do than Getting a horse to pull the plow “I’ve made so many mistakes In raising my five kids Not always said I love them My emotions are often hid No matter what I’ve done, Lord Through all my trials and sins Please try to understand And accept me just as I am” Somehow this good man knew God would hear his plea And help him face another day Just like with you and me!
