It's a fear that keeps me wide awake In the middle of the night
When the expectations are too great And the bar gets raised too high
So I do the best with what I've got
And hope that no one knows
That I strain to see how high I can
Try to stand on these toes
Until I'm measured, but You know better So, thank You, Jesus
Even when You see us just as we are Fragile and frail and so far
From who we want to be So, thank You, Jesus
Even when the pieces are broken and small Dreams shatter and scatter like the wind Thank You, even then
So I put aside the masquerade And admit that I am not okay
Which may not be the thing to say But I'm not ashamed to need You more each day
So, thank You, Jesus
Even when You see us just as we are Fragile and frail and so far
From who we want to be So, thank You, Jesus
Even when the pieces are broken and small
Dreams shatter and scatter like the wind
Thank You, even then
We raise the standard and try to reach You
But we'll never make it and we don't need to ...
So, thank You, Jesus
Even when You see us just as we are Fragile and frail and so far
From who we want to be So, thank You, Jesus Even when the pieces are broken and small
Dreams shatter and scatter like the wind Thank You, even then
