It's so funny how I can be so detailed
With life's trivial things yeah I know them well
God You still remained true
While I'm overlooking you
You're too good
You're too good
You're with me but I'm absentminded with You
Distracted but I need to spend more time with You
Sometimes I need to be reminded of this
I can't be so absentminded about You
When You said pray I was busy doing something else
Had a bad day I can really only blame myself
You were reaching out to me
To show me that Your plans would be
For my good
For my good
You're with me but I'm absentminded with You
Distracted but I need to spend more time with You
Sometimes I need to be reminded of this
I can't be so absentminded about You
You are patient with me beyond belief
You deserve much more
So now I'll do better
I'll invest my time and my mind
You're with me but I'm not absentminded with You
Every distraction now is fading out of view
I won't need to be reminded of this
I won't be so absentminded about You
