V1
The things I wanna do, it seems I do not do
And I do the things I don’t wanna do
I’m not strong enough, ‘cause I came from dust
But I’m learning day by day
God is not surprised, He knows how hard I try
And if you ask I will tell you why
Although I miss the mark, He still sees my heart
And He loves me just the same

CH
I know I’m not yet, what I should be
But God knows everything I could be
He’s making me and He’s shaping me
Into every single thing He said I would be
He’s amazing and unchanging
With Him there’s no impossibility
And one day soon I’m gonna be    
Everything I should be, could be

V2
Now friend I’m askin’ you, what it’s been like for you
Are you goin’ thru what I’m goin’ thru                   
You feel like givin’ up, cause the road is rough
And you just can’t find your way
Well, I don’t have the cure, but I can say for sure
Cause I’ve read it in His Holy Word
He’s workin’ for your good; He promised you He would
So rejoice ‘cause you can say

CH

BRIDGE
He’s maaa-kin’ me
He’s shaaa-pin’ me
Into what I should be, into what I could be
He’s maaa-kin’ me
He’s shaaa-pin’ me
Into what I should be, into what I could be…
(key change) Should be, could be
