You always try so hard,
\nYou do your very best,
\nYou do something good,
\nSo you beat your chest.<\/p>\n

You’re oh so wonderful,
\nYou always like to say,
\nBut you are misguided,

\nBut only by God’s Grace,
\nIt is now time for you,
\nTo do an about-face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
