About This Song


This began as a private prayer I never said out loud. It’s me laying aside masks and asking God to see the real me, raw, fragile, and human. A simple piano-led confession: in case I’ve misunderstood myself, please take who I really am.

Feedback Requested


These are my very first songs. I’ve made a mess of figuring out how to get lyrics and melody into something real. I have everything to learn, so I welcome any guidance and honest feedback.

We pour out our miseries and God just hears a melody. Beautiful the mess we are, the honest cries of breaking hearts…are better than a Hallelujah sometimes.
I like this! I respect the honest vulnerability. So many people can relate, I’m sure. And that’s what we want in a good song right?

Just In Case I Got...

Written by Chad Pate

Just In Case I Got Me Wrong

I know You saw me when I slipped away
From pews and prayers I used to say.
I wore the suit, I played the part
But never gave You all my heart.
So just in case I got me wrong
And the road I chose was much too long.
If I've been chasing shadows, not Your light.
If I've worn my truth too loose or tight.
Forgive the me who couldn't see
That all along You still loved me.
And if I wrecked what You had planned
Please take the wheel with nail-scarred hands.
I thought I had to earn Your grace
By hiding every fragile place
And now I look back on the climb
And wonder if I missed the vine
So just in case I got me wrong
And the path I paved was pride all along
If the peace I built was just pretend
If I forgot Who holds the end
Forgive the man who tried too much
Who never felt quite strong enough
And if I missed what You had shown
Please write me back into Your own
I tried so hard to get it right
But maybe I was scared of light
So I filled my hands with worthy things
While starving out my offering
I don't need the answers now
Just a place to lay it down
I can't rewind the years I lost
But I can still come to the cross
So just in case I got me wrong
And my prayers were echoes all along
If I mistook Your whisper for my doubt
If I pushed You in while running out
Forgive the soul who meant no harm
Who longed to live with open arms
And if there's still a way back home
Please don't let me walk alone
