Still Learning

Spoken Testimony (Intro – music low, pads or piano)

I’ve been in church most of my life.

I know the verses, I know the songs.

I know what they say about Jesus…

But if I’m being honest,

Knowing about Him has always felt easier

Than actually being close to Him.

Some days I feel like everyone else gets grace

And I’m the one still trying to earn it.

I want a real relationship with Jesus—

I just don’t always feel worthy of the forgiveness He already gave me.

(beat drops)

Verse 1

I learned the language, learned the rhythm

When to lift my hands, when to pray

But I hid my doubts in hallelujahs

Hoped they’d just fade away

I believed You died to save us

But I still questioned if that meant me

I kept my distance from Your mercy

‘Cause mercy felt too good to be free

Pre-Chorus

Every time I fall again

I swear I think I’ve crossed the line

Chorus

You say, “Come as you are”

I say, “Lord, I’m trying”

You say, “Grace is the start”

I’m still learning grace

You say, “You are mine”

I say, “How could that be?”

You don’t give up on me

I’m still learning grace

Verse 2

I thought a relationship meant perfection

Never breaking, never afraid

But You met me in my confession

Not the mask I tried to display

I kept chasing some better version

Thinking then You’d finally stay

But You loved me in the middle

Not the end of the change

Pre-Chorus

Maybe faith is trusting You

When I don’t trust myself

Chorus

You say, “Come as you are”

I say, “Lord, I’m trying”

You say, “Grace is the start”

I’m still learning grace

You say, “You are mine”

I say, “How could that be?”

You don’t give up on me

I’m still learning grace

Bridge

I don’t earn it

I don’t prove it

I don’t pay for what You gave

If I could lose Your love by failing

I would’ve lost it yesterday

So I’m done hiding from Your presence

Calling mercy what it is

Final Chorus

You say, “Come as you are”

That truth changed my faith

You say, “Grace is the start”

I’m still learning grace

You say, “You are mine”

And I’m finally okay

Being held, not ashamed

I’m still learning grace

Outro

Still learning grace

Still learning grace

Jesus, I’m still learning grace
