Katie's prayer: Bebo Norman's "Yes I will"

I will follow you
Follow You Jesus, all the way up that hill
The one thing that stuck out to me in this song was the phrase "all the way up that hill." Not some of the way, not part of the way. ALL the way. 100%. No if's and's or but's about it. But, I'm not always the best at that. I'm really great at saying that, "Yes, Jesus, I will follow you all the way, 100% of the way." But I'm also really great about secretly thinking 90% is close to 100% so it still counts. And then I get on this downward slope of "well 80% is close to 90%, so I'm still good." and so on. I think I'm slowly waking up to the fact that right now I'm really far from that 100%. I might actually be closer to 0 than 100. That fact kinda scares me a little. It's not how it should be and it's not how I want it to be.
Will I stumble in the darkness?
In my weakness, when I feel afraid
Hear me Jesus, Hear me Jesus, when I call Your name
Oh help me Lord, won't You help me Lord
Please help me Lord
Would you help me Lord
Help me Jesus, when I feel afraid
