We Try So Hard

Millions who follow You try so hard to do it right,
They get up early and stay up late into the night,
They read their Bibles with assiduous devotion,
They seek God in prayer with fervent emotion,
They worship with authentic love and passion,
They serve when service is not always in fashion,
Many feel it's all not enough though they try hard,
Disappointed they feel like folding all the cards,
Hold up weary warriors worn from the battles,
Don't give up but climb back into your saddle,
God is demanding, a just -holy righteous One,
He commands us to follow Him in an all out run,
Yet do not forget this important bit of information,
God wants our best but heed this vital explanation,
Our best will never suffice but is like filthy rags,
It is grace that justifies when our best only lags,
It is amazing grace when we try hard and fail,
The grace and blood of Jesus to save from hell,
When we try and fall flat in failure on our face,
Our confidence will always be in amazing grace.
