Trying to be humble

I sit here wishing I could be better
I love my God forever and ever
But I am a sinner when I want to be good
then I am feeling misunderstood
I wish I could be a pure clean heart
But living in this world is hard from the start
God is good and clear and honest
yet many times I find I cannot be always modest
When I work I feel pressured to get rich
but being greedy is lifes biggest hitch
working hard for the bucks is how "the happier I'll be"
life will be better but that "won't set me free"
money can't buy me "ready for Jesus"
just leaves me wanting more treasures "which leaves us"
no matter how hard I try to be free
this world holds me back and doesn't let me be me
Can't wait for Jesus to take Christians away
to prepare the world for a better way today
To focus on God only in this worldly place
sadly "the world won't let us see His face"
they take His name out of our schools
in the courts swearing on the bible is only for fools
I want to live in a place that treats everyone the same
instead of suing each other like it is one massive big game
I hate being unable to worship our God
and respect His commandments like Moses once told
We must not swear lie or deceive
but that is how this world is living I just want to grieve
So life is a juggle of dodging all the wrongful things
and hope that us Christians can escape and have blessings
Christians- are not -pure but struggling to do what is right
fighting the battle when life on earth is "disguised as a delight"
this is how I feel....does not mean all Christans feel the same way
[I try and focus on God in all things but gee sometimes it is so tricky!]
