Half Effort

I walk through the doors like it’s nine to five

Shake a few hands, then I’m back to my life

I’ve sung the words, but my heart’s been cold

Trading in fire for routine and control

But deep inside I know there’s more

Than just a ritual I can’t ignore

I don’t wanna be a half effort Christian

Clockin’ in like I’m punchin’ a system

This ain’t a job, it’s a life to be given

I need Your grace to break this prison

Lord, I’m tired of standing halfway in

Take me deeper, let the real change begin

Sermon’s done, I check the box

Bible’s closed, gather up my thoughts

But You don’t want my Sundays alone

You’re calling me daily, to make You my home

No more shadows, no more masks

I’m all in, I won’t hold back

I don’t wanna be a half effort Christian

Clockin’ in like I’m punchin’ a system

This ain’t a job, it’s a life to be given

I need Your grace to break this prison

Lord, I’m tired of standing halfway in

Take me deeper, let the real change begin

Tear down the walls I’ve built inside

Burn up the pride, the compromise

I don’t want religion, I want Your flame

Jesus, I’ll never be the same

I won’t be a half effort Christian

This is my heart, not just my tradition

You gave it all, so I’ll give it all too

Forever changed, I’m running after You
