[Verse 1 – Slow, soul-heavy]
I told You I’m not ready
Said I stumble when I speak
I ain’t the kind You go and choose
I’m weak, I’m broke, I’m meek
But You burned like fire in the silence
You said, “Child, I made your tongue.”
I tried to run, but You kept callin’
Said the work’s already done
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – groove builds]
I thought I had to earn it
Thought I needed to be strong
But You just wanted yes from me
You been waitin’ all along
⸻
[Chorus – Funk kicks in, full vocal power]
🎶
You don’t need me great — You just need me willing
You don’t want the show — You want the soul that’s healing
It ain’t about my power, it’s about Your name
You pick the broken ones and set the world aflame
No, You don’t need me great — just faithful and breathing
‘Cause when I move in You… oh Lord, I’m never leaving
🎶

[Verse 2 – Bluesy storytelling]
They laughed at David’s hands
Too small to fight a war
But one smooth stone and a heart full of fire
Knocked that giant to the floor
The world saw a shepherd boy
You saw a warrior king
You don’t wait for the spotlight
You pull strength from hidden things
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – with harmonies]
I thought I had to earn it
To be perfect, brave, and loud
But You don’t crown the strongest
You lift the humble out
⸻
[Chorus – Repeat with energy]
🎶
You don’t need me great — You just need me willing
You don’t want the shine — You want the heart that’s kneeling
I ain’t gotta roar, I just gotta trust
You turn ashes into armies, dirt to dust
No, You don’t need me great — just ready and breathing
When I say “Here I am” … oh Lord, You start leading
🎶
⸻
[Bridge – Spoken or softly sung, building tension]
Moses had a stutter
David had no shield
But when they stepped in faith
Your glory was revealed
I’m not that great — but I’m Yours
So take my fear, and make it roar
⸻
[Final Chorus – Extended, all-in]
🎶
You don’t need me great — You just need me moving
Don’t need me loud — just need me choosing
To trust Your voice over my doubt
To walk when the world says “Sit this out”
You don’t need me strong — You are the strength in me
You just want surrender — not a strategy
No, You don’t need me great — just faithful and breathing
So I’ll say “Here I am” … and I’m never leaving
🎶

[Outro – Refrain with ad-libs]
🎶
You don’t need me great… just willing… just breathing… just believing…
(Yeah yeah…)
You don’t need me great… just showin’ up… a
