29 :: Clumsy
You think I’d have it down by now
Been practicin’ for thirty years
I should have walked a thousand miles
So what am I still doin’ here
Reachin’ out for that same old piece of forbidden fruit
I slip and fall and I knock my halo loose
Somebody tell me what’s a boy supposed to do?I get so clumsy
I get so foolish
I get so stupid
And then I feel so useless
But You’re sayin’ You love me
And You’re still gonna hold me
And that You wanna be near me
‘Cause You’re makin’ me holy
You’re still makin’ me holy, yeahI’m gonna get it right this time
I’ll be strong and I’ll make You proud
I’ve prayed that prayer a thousand times
But the rooster crows and my tears roll down (again)
Then You remind me You made me from the dust
And I can never, no never, be good enough
And that You’re not gonna let that come between usI get so clumsy
I get so foolish
I get so stupid
And then I feel so useless
But You’re sayin’ You love me
And You’re still gonna hold me
And that You wanna be near me
‘Cause You’re makin’ me holy
You’re still makin’ me holy, yeahFrom where I stand
Your holiness is up so high I can never reach it
My only hope is to fall on JesusI get so clumsy
I get so foolish
I get so stupid
And then I feel so useless
But You’re sayin’ You love me
And You’re still gonna hold me
And that You wanna be near me
‘Cause You’re makin’ me holy
You’re still makin’ me holy, yeah

I love that song.
But what are you talkin about boy?? If you mean to say that you feel like you haven’t accomplished anything, then take a minute to think about it again… you’ve been at camp for years and impacted 100s upon 100s of kids, not to mention the kids you work with at CHCA. Plus, hello! CHINA! You’ve impacted people all the way around the world! So in a way, you have walked that thousand miles. Don’t ever feel inadequate or like you haven’t made a difference, because you really, REALLY have! Take it from one kid you have made a difference with. You rock brotha
