Delusions of Adequacy

I start with the best of intentions
To get it right this time
I plan it out and play it through my mind
Then I get up out of my bed to find
I've been entertaining delusions of adequacy
my will collapses with the slightest wind
and the best laid plans of mice and men
are all nothing in the end

But Lord, I will sing of your love in the morning
your strength and your hand they uphold me
your grace alone has saved and sustains me
I think now I'll make it through the day

I start with the best of intentions
then I head out on my own
I think of all the good that I have done
then I reap what I have sown and find
I've been entertaining delusions of adequacy
the wages of sin are just to high for me
and the best attempt to save myself
is worthless in the end

but Lord, I will sing of your love in the morning
your strength and your hand they uphold me
your grace alone has saved and sustains me
I think now I'll make it through the day


I turn my eyes to the God whose will keeps breath in me
I'm humbled that he holds me in his hand

So Lord, I'll sing of your love in the morning
your strength and your hand they uphold me
your grace alone has saved and sustains me
I think now I'll make it through the day
that's how I make it through my day.


This is my newest song. I finished it today while the kiddos were in timeout. Ask me some time and I may sing it for you.
