I am Blue
But I'm not the person you think I am
And this is true
I sin just like everyone else
I seem to be perfect, without flaw
No sin or stain
A Good citizen following the law
Some one who is holier than you'll ever be
But I wont shove that in your face
I'm just that holy or so I seem
I seem perfect; I don't need anyone to plead my case
And that's because I don't have one
I'm not perfect, not without sin
I don't know what made you think I was perfect
Sin flows like blood under my skin
Deep in my heart and in my mind
I wish I were perfect without sin
But I'm not
So here I go again
I'm a sinner, I need grace
The truth is that I sin
It's a sad fact
That I do it over and over again
It's so hard to stop
Thats why I need God
I need Him, but He doesn't need me
And unbelievers find this odd
But I need Him every day
Amazing Grace
Took my sin
And left not even a trace
Washed me white
Jesus is my life
He took all my evil
And removed the pain and strife
He is my savior
He's the only reason
You think I'm holy
He's the only reason
I am who I am today
He changed me
Made me new
I don't have to be
Who I used to be
I'm not perfect
I sin
But Jesus says I'm worth it
To die for
Moral: I wrote because a couple days ago, I was thinking about how people sometimes tell me that I'm perfect. Yeah, I'm one of those who seems to be perfect and have a perfect life on the outside. Well, it's just not true. I feel a little bad that they think that, but I do admit to sinning when I sin, so they have no reason to believe I am. I wrote this simply to make it clear: I, just like everyone else am a sinner in need of grace. I'm even pretty hypocritical at times, but who isn't? There's an awesome poet on Youtube who also wrote a poem on this idea and I totally recommend his poems. His name is Clayton Jennings and his poem "My Confessions" absolutely captures the essence of "I'm not perfect." I love this poem so much. Y'all should check it out! God bless and happy writing!
