Eddie Roa - Being Human

Lord I do not wish
To hide from you,
I’m too lazy, I say

You molded me
From lowly clay,
Am I to blame?

Can I help it
If I err?
Only human, I say

Free will is
A handy phrase but,
Is it really there?

Redemption I can’t own
The Fall, as well,
Not mine to will, I say

It is God’s grace
If success is undeserved,
Failure surely the Devil’s

Conscience perplexed,
Helpless yet blamed,
Innocent but guilty

Simple minded me
In a quandary, how else,
Accept the mystery, I say
