hard-headed as i am

You reached down from heaven

and saved me again

not an hour later i was doing it again

not an hour later i was doing it again

i know my chances are getting thin

to have nothing to blame

not alcohol or drugs

just because i am impatient, self-absorbed and lost

i keep the focus on me instead of You

the repercussions are so easy to see

to everyone else, but not to me

it would be bad enough if i was just endangering myself

but i put others at risk and it never dawned on me

i know You are frustrated

i will do something to change

thanks for the idea

as usual You are right
