I Wish I Was Better

Описание: Based upon Romans 5:12, this song helps us to understand that Jehovah understands the fact that we have been dealt a serious blow as a result of Adam's betrayal.

[Verse 1]
Woke up with the same old fear
Same old weight on my chest
Staring at a cracked-up mirror
Seeing every failed test
One man’s choice so long ago
Left this ache in every bone
I now trip over what I know
Imperfection is what I own. But..

[Chorus]
I wish I was better
I wish I was clean
Wish I could serve Jehovah perfectly
But He see the struggle
More than the sin
He holds the heart that keeps reaching again
I break
I fall
But Jehovah still calls my name
I’m weak and small
Yet He loves me all the same

Still I wish I was better...

[Verse 2]
I hate how the old thoughts rise
How I speak
Then regret
Reading all His tender lines
Feeling how far I get
Tears on an open page
Whispered prayers through the night
I offer every trembling day
He covers it in light

[Chorus]
I wish I was better
I wish I was clean
Wish I could serve Jehovah perfectly
But He see the struggle
More than the sin
He holds the heart that keeps reaching again
I break
I fall
But Jehovah still calls my name
I’m weak and small
Yet He loves me all the same

Still I wish I was better...

(Weeping Guitar solo)

[Bridge]
He knows the dust I’m made of
He knows the war inside
He sees a child he's raising
Not a shame he hides
So I bring my failing hands
All my almosts - not just a few
He don’t ask for flawless
He just asks me to be true

[Chorus]
I wish I was better
I wish I was clean
Wish I could serve Jehovah perfectly
So I’ll give him my failures
Give him my fear
Trust that his mercy keeps pulling me near
I break
I fall
But he still calls my name
I’ll stand
I’ll crawl
Till he makes me the same
As the love
He already sees in me...
[Chorus]
I wish I was better
I wish I was clean
Wish I could serve Jehovah perfectly
So I’ll give him my failures
Give him my fear
Trust that his mercy keeps pulling me near
I break
I fall
But he still calls my name
I’ll stand
I’ll crawl
Till he makes me the same
As the love
He already sees in me...

I wish I was better...
