Silence and patience in time
These are not always qualities of mine
To trip, to fall down
To these things I do hold a crown
Suffering condemnation
When shame shuts out grace and love
Question how could this tattered life shine
When my walk reflects a field of mines
Chorus
To be the only child, you love me even still
To be the only child, broken, willing
Selfish ambition crowds my mind
Mindless chatter occupies my time
Concerned with hypocrisy around
More distracting this ocean of sin surrounds
What need have I of eyes when my sight is nearly blind
What need have I of speech
When my thoughtless tongue serves the enemy
Chorus
Bridge
But if you were without flaw who would need the cross
All the pain of Calvary would be an empty cost
Perfect I will hardly ever be but I'm pardoned just the same
Knowledge no matter the fall, child of God is my chosen name
