Lord I’m not here because I’m perfect,
I’m not even here because I’m good,
Lord I’m not here because I’ve got things right,
Or even that I think I ever could.
Lord I’m not here because I’m holy,
I’m not here because I’m whole,
I’m not here because I’m rich or famous,
I’m not! And you know it’s not my goal.
Lord I’m here because I’m broken,
I’m here because I know I won’t succeed,
Without you living, walking here beside me,
Reminding me your love is all I need.
Lord I’m here because I’m human,
It’s the only way that I can cope,
Rubbing shoulders here with my community,
Living with these people grows my hope.
Lord I’m here because I’m flawed,
Easily distracted from what’s right,
But I can hear you whispering to all of us,
That we’re your children, your joy, your delight.
