Im Not

Mistakes are made daily 
We are human 
We have to not keep assuming 
Assuming every thing is always alright  
Sometime we have to put up a fight 
A fight to stand tall 
In the midst of it all 
Call out for help when we may fall 
We won't always be right 
In this thing called life 
we dont have forever to get 
It right 
We are precious in his sight 
No matter what you may see 
Owning up to your flaws is amazing 

Im not 100 percent right 
Im not 100 percent wrong 
What God needs 
Is for me to own 
Own up to my mistakes 
When there's alot on my plate. 

I wake up everyday 
Thankful 
To see what this day may bring
I pray for me and you 
I pray for this world 
Thats the truth 
Sometimes I sit in silence 
And observe 
Or reflect on his word
Whoever said we can survive on our own 
Must not know him on the throne 
Hes our GPS our way home (home)
He is just waiting for you 
To come to him 
Already knows the truth 
He just wants to use 
Use you as a vessel 
Its pumping 
The holy spirit keeps jumping 
Go ahead and give him praise 
In the midst of our ways 

Im not 100 percent right 
Im not 100 percent wrong 
What God needs 
Is for me to own 
Own up to my mistakes 
When there's alot on my plate. 
(Repeat until chorus fades )

Own it ,
We are not perfect 
Taking accountability its worth it 

Im not 100 percent right 
Im not 100 percent wrong 
What God needs 
Is for me to own 
Own up to my mistakes 
When there's alot on my plate. 
(Repeat until chorus fades)
