You thing I'd have it down by now

Been practicin' for thirty years

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

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
Chorus

From where I stand

Your holiness is up so high I can never reach it
C2 D2
My only hope is to fall on Jesus
