Do I Qualify?

There are many times in my life that I struggle between being "of earth" and a "child of God." I know my gift of singing and songwriting comes from God, and I want to give Him all the credit and do what He'd have me do with this gift; however, there are still times I don't feel worthy of such a role. That's what this song is talking about.

Do I Qualify?

Lord, are you sure it's me you want? To guide your people and show them the way?
Father, I'm not sure I'm qualified, to relay to the world what You have to say.
I know this gift running through my head, out my lips and from my hands.
Is a tool You gave me to do Your will. But sometimes Your will I just don't understand.

Lord, I'm so scared, I'd do more harm than good, my life is no example for anyone.
I can't stand the thoughts of falling short, while trying to represent the Son.
Assisi said, "Preach the Gospel to all the world and if necessary to use words."
But my will is so shifty though I wanna do what's right, and give back to You what is Yours.

Do I qualify? I know by grace that I am saved.
But does it give me the authority to do big works in Your name?
I know we all fall short and we'll never live up to the gifts You gave.
But am I qualified? Lord, show me the way.

It's a constant whisper grwoing louder each day, it's a personal great command.
There's so much of the world who knows not of you, knows not what waits at this life's end.
I feel it tugging my soul and I know that it's You, and I know what I am supposed to do....

Do I qualify? I know by grace that I am saved.
But does it give me the authority to do big works in Your name?
I know we all fall short and we'll never live up to the gifts You gave.
But am I qualified? Lord, show me the way.
