Story Behind The Song

Story? It's just reality.

Song Description

This is self-talk from someone who realizes that real people neither perform perfecly all the time nor reach their goals instantaneously. So the someone decides that they will do what they can, as they can. The music is supposed to be very regular / recursive, hopefully without being boring.

Lyrics

Wanna be a child of Jesus
Wanna follow Him every way
When I?m in the darkest places, He
Takes me to the light of day

Gonna live my life to please Him
Even though I'm not perfect yet
It?s a gradual situation
Gonna have to do it bit by bit

(refrain - three voices)
Bit by bit by bit by bit
Bit by bit by bit by bit

(ooh's - on tape)

If I cannot move a mountain
I?ll just have to move a hill
Maybe walk right through a valley, what
Ever it takes to do God's will and I?m

Gonna run this race to finish
Don?t care how tired I get
Even if it takes forever I?m
Gonna make it happen bit by bit

(refrain)

Bridge:
Wanna be a child of Jesus
Wanna follow Him in every way
Wanna be a child of Jesus
Wanna follow Him every day

Don't know what's in the future but I'm
Gonna do my best today
Even if I have some trouble
Gonna thank Him anyway an' I'm

Gonna live my life to please Him
Even though I'm not perfect yet
It?s a gradual situation, I?m
Gonna do it bit by bit
