[Verse 1]
CI'm just alright
At playing this gGuitar
I'm just oCk
At singing this old soGng
And thats just fiAmne
Cause I don't boaGst my expertise
(Strum next chords once)
On plaCying these six Gstrings and hummiCng rhymes
[Verse 2]
I will not sCtop
And lisGten to my douCbts
That I'm not goCod
I wastCed too much tiGme
To sit and fAmret
About wGhat if I'm not good enough
My medAmiocre's gooGd enough for CGod
[Chorus]
So I will trFy try tGry try tCry
And ignore these lAmie lie liGe lie lieCs
That's it's not worth my tFime time tiGme time tCime
I'm not playing this for yoAmu
I'm not playing this for Gme
I'm playing this for GoCd

[Verse 3]
The time has coCme
To shiFne the light I hCave
In this dark rCoom
My lighFt might not be that briCght
But that's old Amnews
So I'll shine it brFight
For YCou, oh for YoGu
(Strum G 5x)
[Chorus]
So I will tFry try tGry try tCry
And ignore these lAmie lie liGe lie lieCs
That's it's not worth my tFime time tGime time tiCme
I'm not playing this for yoAmu
I'm not playing this for Gme
I'm playing this for GoCd
[Bridge]
CThis story only enFds If I ansAmwer Your caGll OoohhhhAm  
The prCides before the faFll, if I haAmve no pride I can't fall doGwn
My laCck of pride is just my confidence in the gifts You've givGen me
I won't stiCfle it, I'll invest in this, cause the giAmfts You give are frGee
My bacCks against the wFall
If my desAmtiny is thGis how will I kAmnow?
Is this moCre than a soGng?
But letting gAmo
Of my perCfect unknGown
[Chorus]
So I will tFry try trGy try tCry
TrFy try tGry try tCry
And ignore these liAme lie liGe lie liCes
That's it's not worth my tiFme time tiGme time tiCme
I'm not playing this for yoAmu
I'm not playing this for Gme
                       N.C.
I'm playing this for God

I'm just ok

At singing this old song

And thats just fine

Cause I don't boast my expertise

On playing these six strings and humming rhymes

[Verse 2]

I will not stop

And listen to my doubts

That I'm not good

I wasted too much time

To sit and fret

About what if I'm not good enough

Am G C

My mediocre's good enough for God

[Chorus]

So I will try try try try try

I'm playing this for God

[Verse 3]

The time has come

F C

To shine the light I have

In this dark room

My light might not be that bright

But that's old news

So I'll shine it bright

This story only ends If I answer Your call Ooohhhh
