Nichole Nordeman - Even Then Lyrics
It's a fear that keeps me wide awakeIn the middle of the nightWhen the expectations are too greatAnd the bar gets raised too highSo I do the best with what I've gotAnd hope that no one knowsThat I strain to see how high I canTry to stand on these toesUntil I'm measured, but You know betterSo, thank You, JesusEven when You see us just as we areFragile and frail and so farFrom who we want to beSo, thank You, JesusEven when the pieces are broken and smallDreams shatter and scatter like the windThank You, even thenSo I put aside the masqueradeAnd admit that I am not okayWhich may not be the thing to sayBut I'm not ashamed to need You more each daySo, thank You, JesusEven when You see us just as we areFragile and frail and so farFrom who we want to beSo, thank You, JesusEven when the pieces are broken and smallDreams shatter and scatter like the windThank You, even thenWe raise the standard and try to reach YouBut we'll never make it and we don't need to ...So, thank You, JesusEven when You see us just as we areFragile and frail and so farFrom who we want to beSo, thank You, JesusEven when the pieces are broken and smallDreams shatter and scatter like the windThank You, even then
