Sometimes, Lord, I am expected to sing praises.

But all I can manage are the blues.

Sometimes I am expected to forgive.

But all I want is revenge.

Sometimes I am expected to bloom where I’m planted.

But all I want is to be planted somewhere else.

I so frequently fall short of the aspirations you have for me.

But even then, I know your presence remains and your love abides.

Though I am rarely what you expect, you are always more than I expect.
