338. I was a fool

```

I was a fool,

I depended on my personal efforts.

I was a fool,

I depended on man’s assistance.

I was a fool,

I depended on God’s Grace.

But

Now I have become a wise man

Since I revised the order.

I now depend on God’s unconditional Grace first,

Ninety-eight and a half per cent.

And then I depend on my puny personal efforts,

One per cent.

Finally I depend on man’s conditional assistance,

One-half of one per cent.
