Analysis of Some Will Try
It's true that there are some who won't
Believe that God is real and don't
Pray to the Lord above.
And there are those who truly feel
God's interventions are not real
And that God is not love!
But I have felt the Lord with me
Each day in which I try to be
Obedient with love inside.
I do my best to let God in
My heart and mind despite each sin
Including hurtful pride!
