Less

The day begins with a list of things to do
A dozen places I should go before it's through
Goals and expectations on every side
Daily disappointments that are just a part of life
And so often...

I'm less than I thought I was
Convinced that I don't measure up
And I pretend I'm standing tall
'Til I hear my Father say
Even when I'm feeling small
He loves me, really loves me
And I know He knows best
Even on the days when I feel less

The night descends and I have to face the dark
And I should pray before I sleep but it's so hard
Have I done a single thing to make Him proud
I had so many chances, but did I fail Him somehow
I'm afraid that...

I'm less than satisfied
With all I try to be
But He is more than willing
To be strong when I am weak
And so when...

When I feel less
