I am not what I want to be.

I am not what I ought to be.

I am not what one day I will be.

But I am not what I was.

And by the grace of God, I am what I am. 

-John Newton (paraphrased by D.A. Carson)

Who are you waiting for me to become?
Who do you intend for me to become?
Cause it’s quite a long wait,
Quite a long wait for me.

One minute is all that I really need.
To testify everything I believe.
But here insofar I’m not so sure
What exactly I’m here for.

And time will never tell.
Cause time is just noise.
Only you can tell.
You’re the only silent voice
My heart can hear.
