"Please Make Me Better by Rev. James Cleveland "



And if it takes all the worldly things from my life make 

me better Lord (please make me better) make me better, 

and if it means that I have a lot to sacrifice make me 

better (please make me better) make me better.



And if it means sometimes I have to fight with tear 

stained eyes make me better Lord (please make me better) 

make me better.



Even if it means sometimes that I falter when I try I'll 

get up and go on if you make me strong yea. Because I 

want to give you my best and I'd only be hurting myself 

if I tried to give you less. 



And if it means sometimes that the road will get rough 

make me better Lord (please make me better) yea make me 

better.



Because I'll go on just knowing that your grace will be 

enough to make me better Lord (please make me better) 

just make me better Lord.



Oooo Because I want to give you my best and I'd only be 

hurting myself if I tried to give you less.
