Lyrics
BETTER & BETTER

VERSE 1:
I?m called to receive your glory & goodness
And You?ve given me such wonderful promises
So I can escape this evil around me
And participate in all your divinity
So I?ll make every effort to apply this to my life
So I can be more useful as a follower of Christ
CHORUS:
And as I know You
better and better
You help me to grow to
be better and better
And as I know You
better and better
You give me everything I need
To live a godly life indeed.
VERSE 2:
I?ll live out my faith in goodness with knowledge
And I?ll undertake to live with self-discipline
?Cause patience endures in godly behavior
With kindness and pure love for my neighbors
BRIDGE:
I don?t want to be short-sighted
I don?t want to be short-sighted
Don?t want to be blind
forgetting that You washed away all of my sin.
