Almosts

I am doing ok/on the outside/on the inside/it’s a complicated situation/almost let others in/almost giving up/almost trusting/almost loving/
I don’t know how to explain/every emotion I am feeling/I feel like I am all alone sometimes/I almost do better/then I fall a part again/
I tried to make things better/but in actuality I made a bigger mess/I almost understood the sacrifice you made/then I found out how much deeper/
your love for me was/I know that I can never be perfect/I give you all my almosts/and I choose to give you everything/I don’t like the maybes that leave me uncertain/
I know you hold my almosts/and you care for your children/

Almost got my head above water/then the weight of my sin dragged me back under/Almost tried to eliminate the chaos/almost tried to live this life on my own/
I am glad you are a God of completion/there are no almosts/You told me that it’s all or nothing/hard to figure it out/because this world without you is incomplete/
I want to trade my doubts and almosts/for your unending promises/Like an anchor in the harbor/You won’t let me drown/I know that you will reach out to save me/
A God of grace/rich in hope, mercy, and love/I know you care for me/You can handle all my almosts/and you can ease my mind/replace my fear with truths/

If I had a choice/I would probably mess things up/I would probably try to prove a point/because the world tells us that/everything has to have a moral/
but when you call them on it/they tell us it’s all relative/there are no absolutes/It is hard for me to commit/go 100% every day for you/it’s different for you and me/
What if we traded in our almost moments/and in exchange you gave us your truth/would the world look any different/we may never know/
because it seems that they don’t want change/I give you my almosts/I give you the things that I’ve held onto/including the times I tend to ride the fence/

Almost isn’t good enough/in a world of uncertainty/we tend to exaggerate the truth/but if we really knew it/we wouldn’t try to bend it to fit our agenda/
I want to give you my doubts/and you can show me the things I can live without/I know it could be a challenge/especially if it’s uncomfortable at times/
its out of my comfort zone/I tend to take it back/because I don’t like the unfamiliarity/I know that you can help me change/you can make me new/
even when times are tough/I know my anchor will hold strong/I know when I step out of the boat/you will guide me so I don’t sink/You made my heart/
