|
Oh, for a heart that does not ache |
|
And for a backbone that won't break |
|
For some steady feet or sturdy ground |
|
A road that isn't gonna let me |
|
Turn around and run |
|
For a thousand tongues to sing |
|
To wear wisdom like Solomon's robe |
|
For the patience and perspective |
|
Of a man like Job |
|
Just to soar on wings of eagles |
|
For no other reason |
|
Than the bird's eye view |
|
For a flight or two |
|
And the list gets longer |
|
Who I wish I was |
|
And was no longer |
|
I never could be good enough |
|
To measure up |
|
But You want to take me as I come |
|
You're the only one that can |
|
So take me as I am |
|
Oh, to feel hope in hopeless times |
|
Never mind the silver lining |
|
'Cause the clouds are fine |
|
To breathe prayers that move the heavens |
|
Or save hundreds from the flames |
|
To know my place |
|
To know my name |
|
But the gap grows wider |
|
Between who I am |
|
And all I aspire to be |
|
I never could be good enough |
|
To measure up |
|
But You want to take me as I come |
|
You're the only one that can |
|
Take me as I am |
|
At the end of myself |
|
And the end of the day |
|
I can find little else |
|
But the courage to say |
|
I need You, that's all |
|
I need You, that's all |
|
I never could be good enough |
|
To measure up |
|
But You want to take me as I come |
|
You're the only one that can |
|
Take me as I am |
