My version
Dear God my life is a testimony,
To your belief in me,
I am just a minute speck in time,
My life was a futile attempt to be important,
But, all my efforts left me depressed,
Forgiveness is what unfetters my life,
I waited too long to understand this fully,
My God was always waiting for me,
Love oozes from God’s being day and night,
He seeks me out,
To embrace me – with a bear hug,
Oh how I love his smell!
