Verse 1

Lord I’m not where I need to be
And truth be told
I’m kind of glad that I’m not
Because I might stop seeking Thee

know you loyal just dont know if you'll trade it for royal
Until the lion learn how to write every story will glorify the hunter

I’m tryin’ to plant a seed and hope to speak some church into you
Aye I encourage the virtue

And I was born with a crown on my head, with blood that Jesus bled
