[Verse 1] I had “I’m sorry” on my tongue, With a “but” right there behind it. I knew the truth before I spoke, Still found a way to hide it. I called you back with less to say: “I was wrong to speak that way.” [Chorus] I keep falling, but I’m His, And the righteous keep getting up. I can own the wrong I’ve done And still believe that I am loved. I’m workin’ on better, But I’m not workin’ alone. He’s still workin’ on a heart He already calls His own. [Verse 2] I used to make a bigger vow Each time I crossed that line, Like saying it a little louder Would change this heart of mine. Now I’m learning how to listen, How to stop before I speak, How to take my Sunday praying To the middle of my week. [Chorus] I keep falling, but I’m His, And the righteous keep getting up. I can own the wrong I’ve done And still believe that I am loved. I’m workin’ on better, But I’m not workin’ alone. He’s still workin’ on a heart He already calls His own. [Verse 3] I’ve tried to keep my distance Till I had a better week, As if You only wanted The strongest part of me. Still, the door was standing open— I was Yours there on my knees. [Bridge] Get up—there’s a call to make. Get up—there’s a wrong to mend. Get up—take the hand He’s holding out; You don’t have to hide again. I can’t go back and change the fall, But I can answer when He calls. [Verse 4] Today I kept a quiet promise No one else was there to see. Told the truth when one more story Would’ve come so easily. There’s a little less pretending In the man I’m learning to be. [Final Chorus] I keep falling, but I’m His, And the righteous keep getting up. I can own the wrong I’ve done And still believe that I am loved. I’m workin’ on better, But I’m not workin’ alone. He’s still workin’ on a heart He already calls His own. [Outro] Workin’ on better. Still getting up. He’s still working. I’m still His.
