My Willer Won't Will

I preached a sermon at Paradise this morning based on Romans 7. Paul is talking about doing the things he should and not doing things that he should. I used this poem to look at his situation in our lives today. I hope you like it.


My Willer Don’t Will
By Larry Linville

My willer don’t will
and my don’ter won’t don’t.
My doer won’t do
and won’ter don’t won’t.

I don’t know what
has come over me.
When I try to do right
it’s the wrong thing I see.

My willpower is
always doing fine,
but my won’tpower
is on the decline.

I’m a wretched man
this I must admit.
When I want to go
I just have to quit.

Who can save me from
this dreadful state.
Only Jesus Christ
on whom I must wait.
