****** Lord... I keep falling short If I could walk around on my knees, would You expect less of me? Because the bar seems too high and I believe that You've asked me to die To myself self-ish gain to my ways man's high-ways And I think I've said no again and again to the whims of my fellow man But it's never enough it would seem Fall flat off my feet once again Bar's too high can't reach that high How much more do You want me to die? When do I get to cry "it's finished" Have given enough to once again feel Your touch When all I want is to know You more and this world around keeps pushing me to the floor Are my ways ever good when only Your ways are God Do I only reach higher when I find myself lower Cuz every **** day I fall even shorter I'm seeking perfection seated on a throne and today feels like I'm battling alone Do I only find perfection when I'm sitting on the ground where heaven and earth meet In a glorious dance this miraculous romance to find truth in the dichotomy of dirt and divine To stop reaching for a kingdom in the sky find eternity in my heart this Kingdom is nigh Lord, I'm still falling short flat on my face growing use to dirt in my mouth's gritty taste Maybe in moments of my greatest failure are where I meet my relentless Savior

An Honest Moment
****** Lord... I keep falling short If I could walk around on my knees, would You expect less of me?
