Wish I Was Better

(Intro - Instrumental)

Sorry God, my faith is low,

I smile outside but You already know,

You said don’t bend to the shape of the world,

But I bend anyway, yeah, I bend to the flow.

I thought I knew who I was meant to be,

But the fight keeps getting the best of me,

Every lie sound close to reality,

When the dark feels louder than Your peace.

This world been beating the good outta me,

Pressing my chest till I barely breathe,

Looking around for an easy release,

But every door feel locked to me.

Oh, I wish I was better,

Yeah, I wish I was stronger

And oh, I wish I was smarter

Oh, I wish i had more to offer

Oh, I wish I was better,

Yeah, I wish I was stronger

And oh, I wish I was smarter

Oh, I wish i had more to offer

Oh, wish i was... wish i was...

Better

Thought I was better, thought I had growth,

Thought I was different, guess I just cope,

Turns out I’m scared, turns out I fold,

No better than the rest when I lose my hope.

I say I got faith but I barely speak,

Got prayers stuck halfway reaching free,

I know You got plans, yeah plans for me,

But they only work if I truly believe.

Please forgive me, my faith is low,

Please help me, ’cause I don’t know how,

Only thing I’m not afraid to say,

Is I’m scared right now.

Oh, I wish I was better,

Yeah, I wish I was stronger

And oh, I wish I was smarter

Oh, I wish i had more to offer

Oh, I wish I was better,

Yeah, I wish I was stronger

And oh, I wish I was smarter

Oh, I wish i had more to offer

Oh, wish i was... wish i was...

Better

I read those legends from long ago,

Faith stood tall while the fear stayed close,

I ask myself with a shaking soul,

“How’d they stand when the dark was bold?”

Wish I was strong like the words I read,

Wish my trust didn’t shake like this,

But here I stand with an open chest,

Still hoping grace ain’t done with me yet.

Oh, I wish I was better,

Yeah, I wish I was stronger

And oh, I wish I was smarter

Oh, I wish i had more to offer

Oh, I wish I was better,

Yeah, I wish I was stronger

And oh, I wish I was smarter

Oh, I wish i had more to offer

Oh, wish i was... wish i was...

Better
