I ve tried, God knows I ve tried...

I've tried, God knows I've tried!
And failed, and failed, and failed,
And secretly I cried,
And openly I smiled -
I lost and it prevailed.

About to give up, forever, join the crowd -
I'm weak, I wish I could
But years and years went by,
Attempt after attempt, all failed...
I don't feel proud,
Have to admit defeat,
How long can I deny?

Where can I find the strength?
I'm weak, I'm just a person...
I know some people do,
But God I don't know how!
They make it look so easy!
I'm jealous, all but curse them...
A miserable wreck,
That's how I'm feeling now.

Just listen to yourself! Pathetic..
No, just listen!
The answer is right there -
It's staring in your face!
Who knows it all? Who does?
Who has the strength and reason,
And helps you when you ask,
And showers you with grace?

You're fighting it alone -
No wonder you are losing!
Your knowledge and your strength
Are merely human, right?
There is this vast resource
That you have not been using,
A mighty ally who
Can help you in your fight.
