even then

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

Thank you, Jesus
Even when you see us just as we are-
fragile, 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
