[Verse 1] I woke up late again Same old weight on my chest Fell short of the kind of man I said I’d be by now Got dust on my promises And cracks in my plans But I’m still on my feet Still reaching out my hands [Pre-Chorus] I’m not saying I’m perfect I’m not saying I’m done I’m just tired of hiding From the work that’s left undone So take this heart I’m holding Even if it shakes [Chorus] I’m trying, I’m trying God, I’m trying I’m learning how to change One step at a time I’m trying, I’m trying God, I’m trying If I fall seven times I’ll still rise [Verse 2] I watched my anger spill On the ones I love I heard my own sharp words And they cut too deep So I swallowed my pride Said what needed to be said Made a hard apology With trembling hands instead [Pre-Chorus] I’m not saying I’m perfect I’m not saying I’m done I’m just tired of hiding From the work that’s left undone So take this heart I’m holding Even if it shakes [Chorus] I’m trying, I’m trying God, I’m trying I’m learning how to change One step at a time I’m trying, I’m trying God, I’m trying If I fall seven times I’ll still rise [Bridge] Meet me in the middle Of my mess and my remorse Teach me how to keep going When my faith runs course When my hands feel empty And my eyes run dry Say the word and I’ll answer I’m still here, I’m still trying [Final Chorus] I’m trying, I’m trying God, I’m trying I’m learning how to change One step at a time I’m trying, I’m trying God, I’m trying You can make me new While I rise I’m trying, I’m trying God, I’m trying I’m still here, I’m still yours And I’ll try I’m trying, I’m trying I’m trying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God, I'm trying
