Even Then Lyrics - Nichole Nordeman

It's a fear that keeps me wide awake 

In the middle of the night 

When the expectations are too great 

And the bar gets raised too high 

So I do the best with what I've got 

And hope that no one knows 

That I strain to see how high I can 

Try to stand on these toes 

Until I'm measured, but You know better 

So, thank You, Jesus 

Even when You see us just as we are 

Fragile and frail and so far 

From who we want to be

So, thank You, Jesus 

Even when the pieces are broken and small 

Dreams shatter and scatter like the wind 

Thank You, even then 

So I put aside the masquerade 

And admit that I am not okay 

Which may not be the thing to say 

But I'm not ashamed to need 

You more each day 

So, thank You, Jesus 

Even when You see us just as we are 

Fragile and frail and so far 

From who we want to be 

So, thank You, Jesus 

Even when the pieces are broken and small 

Dreams shatter and scatter like the wind 

Thank You, even then

From who we want to be
