I Just Wanna Get There
[Chorus]
(I just wanna get there)
God, You're making me better
You're making me better
And You choose to do it however, whenever, wherever
God, You're making me better
You're making me better
And You choose to do it however, whenever, wherever
(I just wanna get there, there, there)
God, You're making me better
You're making me better
And You choose to do it however, whenever, wherever
God, You're making me better (There, there, there)
You're making me better
And You choose to do it however, whenever, wherever
(I just wanna get there)

[Verse 1]
You don't know what I've been through, you don't know what I've been through
When the pain cuts deep, cuts deep
You would think it was jiu-jitsu
Enemy wanna eat me on the menu
Sending people to me from the Temple
Telling me to find joy in the midst, this don't seem that simple
Cause I do what I don't want to do, what I wanna do, I don't do
And I want to do what I don't do, I don't do it
It's me, not You
And it seems I'm not true
And I'm breeding my fruit
Pleased in things that are not You
Seeing things that are not true, man
Can't fight the fight because I'm too mad
The light to bright to drive you badge
My vision, so distracted by tension
Condemnation, placing faith in the weight of my sickness
Life's prescription is distant
Wait, my Physician is living
His finish was the grace of my prison
That came for the villains
I'm raised in His image
It's the penicillin for the snake and his venom
I race and I'm tempted
I race and I'm trippin'
Behavin' like I wasn't raised from the crypt
I got to face it, I'm sick
I got a face of me, six, waiting for me to see Jesus
Gaze at His face till' I get, get, get
[Chorus]
(I just wanna get there)
God, You're making me better
You're making me better
And You choose to do it however, whenever, wherever
God, You're making me better
You're making me better
And You choose to do it however, whenever, wherever
(I just wanna get there, there, there)
God, You're making me better
You're making me better
And You choose to do it however, whenever, wherever
God, You're making me better (There, there, there)
You're making me better
And You choose to do it however, whenever, wherever
(I just wanna get there)

[Verse 2]
You don't know what we go through, you don't know what we go through
See the rings, see the videos, see the means
See the dreams of the queens with the wish for the good life
Really want to be a good wife
Really wanna come home
Wish it would have been a good night
But instead we had a fight
And the price is the piece, see the piece of a wolf bite
I came home from that honeymoon
Feeling high, feeling right
Feeling like our whole life was in front of us
Till' something nudged me, 'take a test,'
Took the test, it said 'yes'
I'm saying, 'Nah, this can't be right
Can't be sight
I'm trying to live
This can't be life
How am I a mother after eight days of being a wife?'
I'm being invited to imprint a life
And I can't focus on nothing else but me
Till' I realize, what's livin' in me is a gift given to me
From His wisdom
Livin'
Swimming with fins, fishing with Fin the Shark
My heart's society bait, telling us "wait"
Baby's first name is "mistake"
It's a problem when the saints
Believe that we're slow dancing with sovereignty
Till' we got to be taken from this life like it's robbery
We're just pottery
The joy is that the clay is shaped by grace
And the Potter promised me that everything will work for good, this ain't lottery
[Chorus]
God, You're making me better
You're making me better
And You choose to do it however, whenever, wherever
God, You're making me better
You're making me better
And You choose to do it however, whenever, wherever
God, You're making me better
You're making me better
And You choose to do it however, whenever, wherever
God, You're making me better
And You choose to do it however, whenever, wherever

[Outro]
(I just wanna get there)
(I just wanna get there, there, there)
(There, there, there)
(I just wanna get there)
