Though I give my life at a faster pace, [1]
For Christian education,
Thus causing my wife to need additional grace.
For our financial situation,
Though I yearn for right in the books of youth,
Strong character building,
And spend night and day in proof of truth,
Pursuing, never yielding,
Though I write and read, preparing and teaching,
Properly being critical,
If I do not take heed to my own “preaching”
My life is hypocritical.
