You think I’d have it down by now Been practicin’ for thirty years I should have walked a thousand miles So what am I still doin’ here Reachin’ out for that same old piece of forbidden fruit I slip and fall and I knock my halo loose Somebody tell me what’s a boy supposed to do? I get so clumsy I get so foolish I get so stupid And then I feel so useless But You’re sayin’ You love me And You’re still gonna hold me And that You wanna be near me ‘Cause You’re makin’ me holy You’re still makin’ me holy, yeah I’m gonna get it right this time I’ll be strong and I’ll make You proud I’ve prayed that prayer a thousand times But the rooster crows and my tears roll down (again) Then You remind me You made me from the dust And I can never, no never, be good enough And that You’re not gonna let that come between us I get so clumsy I get so foolish I get so stupid And then I feel so useless But You’re sayin’ You love me And You’re still gonna hold me And that You wanna be near me ‘Cause You’re makin’ me holy You’re still makin’ me holy, yeah From where I stand Your holiness is up so high I can never reach it My only hope is to fall on Jesus
