I was just thinking
Did I turn out to be who I wanted to be when I was dreaming
Back when I was 16
Back when I met Jesus
How it felt in my heart to know that God was love
And how He really sees us
I still believe it
Just because I'm a believer doesn't mean I don't forget
That my heart is a deceiver, there's doubts in my head
But I belong to a redeemer who's not finished with me yet
I could break it all and He'd make it all new
That's the gospel truth
That's the gospel truth
I was just thinking
Sitting in the backyard watching my two little girls swinging
Hope I'm good dad, God knows
That I'm not perfect
But I'm keeping my eyes on the one who is
Even though I hurt Him
He still calls me friend
Just because I'm a believer doesn't mean I don't forget
That my heart is a deceiver, there's doubts in my head
But I belong to a redeemer who's not finished with me yet
I could break it all and He'd make it all new
That's the gospel truth
That's the gospel truth
No lie
It's true
All the logic in the world could never pull me through
No lie
It's true
All the logic in the world could never pull me through
I was just thinking
Did I turn out to be
Who I wanted to be when I was dreaming
Back when I was 16
Yeah I may be a believer that doesn't mean I don't mess up
'Cause there's holes in my witness but He's still filling my cup
For Him I wish I could be better
But He says that I'm enough
It's done and there's nothing I could do
And that's the gospel truth
That's the gospel truth
Oh it's the gospel truth
Oh it's the gospel truth
