Priority God

O God, I often feel mixed up, confused,
what goes so wrong when things don't turn out right?
Some laugh at me but I am not amused,
when I'm provoked, sometimes I want to fight.

I take a risk, I do want to be brave,
but when I lose, I see the flaws in me,
so many there I see I want to save,
slapped down, I'm forced to face reality.

O God, when I am lost, thank God, You're there,
if my priority is You, I win,
I turn to You for answers to my prayer,
once more Your mercy's stronger than my sin.

Us two, O Lord, let nothing come between,
You love me and I love You sight unseen.
