A Work In Progress

As I take a look into my mirror I again give out a little cheer, I am not the way that I once was Now my soul is full of redemption and love. Sadly of course I do occasionally sin I then ask the Lord for forgiveness with an amen, But, I'm getting better every single day And thankfully to the Lord, I always pray. I go to church now with a smile No more in my soul do I harbor guile, Everyone that I see and meet is my sister and/or bother Even though we share a different father and mother. Every day I am becoming a better man Which was of course the Lord's ultimate plan, No more a sinner, a lair or a cheater will I be All because the Lord loves me. I have already put off my "old self, " I placed it as a memory on my shelf, No more am I judging or hating or cursin' I am now a new and a better person. A new process in my soul has begun And I'm on the way to it being done, I am on my way on becoming new All because the Lord loves me and you. Sadly of course I will make mistakes Occasionally, I might accidentally give out heartbreaks, But, this to all I will proudly and honestly confess I am still a work in progress. Randy L. McClave
