I want to be perfect, though that is something I cannot be

The only thing that I can give, is the best of me

Doing my best, with God as my guide

Being my best, with God by my side

Though sometimes I will falter, and give into sin

Until I remember, to walk with God again

I may sometimes feel, like I cannot measure up to life’s demand

Though I am reminded that God does understand

For I know that if I take him with me, everywhere I go

He will help me in my journey, in my faith to grow

Being the best version of me, and who He had in mind

It is in Him, where perfection I can find

For He so perfectly loves me, and guides me with His grace

Helping me be my best, as I navigate this place

So though I am not perfect, it is in Him where I can rest

For I know when I walk with Him, I am my very best

Perfection

Psalm 23 NIV

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
