I don’t plan to disappoint Him but I do I don’t plan to contradict Him but I do I don’t plan to have a bad day where I walk away from Him But I do. Way too often I do I don’t listen to His voice like I should I don’t walk in His footsteps like I should I don’t think about the ways I can witness of His love Not I don’t.
