Though I'm not at all what I'd like to be,
I hope you'll understand. . .
My thoughts and deeds aren't "good as gold":
They're more like worthless sand.
I hope you'll understand. . .
My thoughts and deeds aren't "good as gold":
They're more like worthless sand.
So far as east is from the west,
So far my sin's removed.**
Embraced by Jesus's perfect grace,
I know I'm always loved.
My love for God is really true,
My faith in Him sincere:
Now I reach to others, too,
To show I really care.
So after a trying day of work,
When stress just runs away,
I hope you realize I know inside
It's still a lovely day!

Hi, David. Thanks for checking in! I just did an audio of this on my Instagram, too! Seemed like a nice short one to start with. I wish, though, that I had not put a "cover photo" on it because I think it sort of wrecked the effect.
Anyway, take care & be blessed!
