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.
