[Verse 1]

Sometimes I feel like I ain't never good

I don't treat the people in my life as well as I probably should

But I wish I would

I'm just a mess and I don't want them to ever see

Everything that keeps on breaking me

Cause blatantly

That's not who I be

That's not who I am

They don't understand

I'm just a man, but I don't got a game plan

Everyone is finding their happiness mine never came in

Maybe it's just a situation that I can't comprehend

Am I even worth it?

You died for me but I feel like I've been deserted

I know I'm here but still don't know how I can serve a purpose

And I'm terrified I'll find out, and realize too late that I let my people down

I know I'm in a dry season

But I'd be crazy to abandon all my reason

Even when I'm ask for a reset

I know that you can see what the future bringing me


[Hook]

I know you have unfinished business with me

And I know that til the day I die, I will never be complete

I said I never wanted you but you wanted me

I'm a work in progress, just a work in progress


[Verse 2]

This last summer's been the worst of my life

I had some inner demons that I need to bring to the light

My flesh and spirit has been in a fight

And I was losing almost every night

Man I'm in need of Christ

I thought how would life look without me

I mean honestly how bad would it be

It'd be easier on my folks if I leave

I feel like all I do is overcomplicate things

I really doubted myself, doubted my call

Didn't get help, rolled in a ball and didn't come out

Man what a miserable state I was in

And I never thought that there would be an end

I know it was a dry season

But I'd be crazy if I abandoned my reason

Even when I asked for a reset

I know that you saw what the future bringing


[Hook]

I know you have unfinished business with me

And I know that til the day I die, I will never be complete

I said I never wanted you but you wanted me

I'm a work in progress, just a work in progress


[Verse 3]

You see the God that we serve

Gave his one and only son to die for the world

And that's a message that has gotta be heard

Cause if it ain't preached then we gonna stay hurt

What's the point of being here if we just gonna leave

Why have a heart for winning souls if all it does is stop it's beat

We weren't created to remain incomplete

But first we gotta give our will up, let Christ take the lead

So to my girl who hears this song and knows she's broken down

Or to my homie who is seeing what the struggles bout

Let me tell you that there is an out

Just talk to God, follow him and i believe that he will work it out

We gotta voice that we better put to good use

Cause that's a tool that the church cannot afford to lose

But we can stand to lose ourselves to you

So Lord take our filthy past and make us brand new
