Strum
D-DU-UDU
 You thing I'd have  it down by  now
 Been practicin'  for  thirty  years
 I should have  walked  a thousand miles
 So what  am I still doin'  here
 Reachin' out for  that same old piece of forbidden fruit
 I slip and fall  and I knock my halo loose
 Somebody  tell me what's a boy supposed to do?
 Cause I get so clumsy
 I get so foolish
 I get  so stupid
 And then I feel so useless
 But you're sayin' You love  me
 And you're still gonna hold  me
 And that You wanna be near  me
 'Cause You're makin' me holy
 You're still makin' me  holy, yeah
 I'm ganna get it right this time
 I'll be strong and I'll make You proud
 I've prayed that prayer a thousand times
 But the rooster crows and my tears roll down (again)
 Then You remind me You made me from the dust
 And I can never, no never, be good enough
 And that You're not gonna let that come between us
From  where I stand
 Your holiness  is up so  high I can never reach it
My  only hope is  to fall on Jesus
