I am and always will be a sinner. But that’s the beautiful thing about Jesus. I’ll always try to be a better person in the eyes of God. But I’m not all of a sudden stepping up on a pedestal and saying I’m holier than thou, ’cause I’m not!
Meaning of the quote
Billy Ray Cyrus, an American musician, explains that he will always be a sinner, but that's okay because Jesus loves him anyway. He wants to keep trying to be a better person in God's eyes, but he doesn't think he's better than anyone else. He's not going to act like he's perfect or more holy than other people, because he's not.

The people at the record company had asked me if I could write a song about my life, my relationship with God, and where I’m from. Well, I can’t write a song on purpose, my songs come in a moment of inspiration or desperation.
