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!
