Disgust

I thought I could do right

For just one minute

I thought I could.

I knew what it was

I knew that I should

I knew that I could

But again I missed the mark.

I am disgusted with my feeble ability!

Giving up hope, in disgust I turned

To just quit!

And just then I heard His tender voice

- - -

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,

For I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

And so in hope

I stood!

With increased confidence in Him.
