[Intro]
“I put this pressure on myself to be perfect. I crave love, I starve for affirmation and I’ve arrived at the belief that putting on an exceptional performance will grant me what I desire. But, no matter how hard I try I always fall short. So I hide my failures. I bury my sin in a shallow grave. I act like all is well because I’m afraid of being rejected, convicted. But, I think it’s time to face the -”
[Pre-Chorus]
Imma be real, I don’t wanna change, yeah
But I’m tired of feeling the guilt and the shame
Yeah, yeah
I wish I was whole, but I’m broke
In a hole, shattered hope
It’s my fault
All these sins are my own
[Chorus]
Woah
Are my own
I admit, I admit
This what I chose
Chose, this what I chose
Thought I was the chosen one
But I’m the
[Verse One]
My repetitive sin
Got me thinking I can never repent again
No redemption left
No perfection, or protection
All hope is dead
Every sin I said I’d never commit, I did
And did again
Ain’t diligent, ain’t killing it
It’s killing me
Man I thought I was the hero
But the villain’s me
Just a fraud with a facade
Claiming to believe in God
When I be leaving God
Did my brethren think I was a fellow brother
When I was really a felon who done fell into sin?
Was I ever legit?
Or a hypocrite hypnotist?
I condemned idolatry, yet bowed to idle things
Forsook my ideals and lost my ID
Condemned debauchery
And said “I’m not like that”
Yet locked to my screen watching naughty novelties
“Nobody sees no body”
No, God does see hypocrisies nobody knows
So why keep running?
Why keep fleeing?
Why keep bleeding?
Why keep grieving?
God the Father, Holy Spirit, Jesus?
God of love is seeking freedom for me
Yet I Keep ignoring Him
Believing I know more than Him
I’m hoarding sin, ain’t holding Him, nah
[Pre-Chorus]
Imma be real, I don’t wanna change, yeah
But I’m tired of feeling the guilt and the shame
Yeah, yeah
I wish I was whole, but I’m broke
In a hole, shattered hope
It’s my fault
All these sins are my own
[Chorus]
Woah
Are my own
I admit, I admit
This what I chose
Chose, this what I chose
Thought I was the chosen one
But I’m the
[Verse Two]
Foe
I’m not hot or cold
My heart black like coal
I know I’m sick, but I love being comfortable
That’s why I don’t change
Sin is in my DNA
Wickedness is human nature
And if I stay the same
Hell is my fate
No escape on my own
I can’t save myself
I will never be enough
I’m just flesh and bones
No, I’m just dust
Destined to decompose
Unless I let go of this poison that I love
And place my hope in the One
Jesus, please forgive me
I confess I’ve hurt you and I’ve hurt others
My soul is dead
My soul is dead, can you save me?
Please save me
Please save me
PLEASE SAVE ME
YEAH, YEAH
[Verse Three]
If Jesus didn’t shed his blood on the cross
Then we would all be hopeless, yeah
Cause’ we could never break free from the devil’s tyranny
Or the chains of our own sins, yeah
When Jesus rose from the dead he laid the devil down
Now every chain can be broken
He can throw every sin in the ocean
Motions? No more going through em’
I don’t wanna follow my own motives
Jesus, you deserve all my devotion
Cause’ who could ever love me like you love me?
Who could ever see any value in a man as ugly as me?
God, every sin I commit is a thorn that sank into Jesus’ skin
I’m part of the reason they pinned Him to a tree
God, I know I’ve caused you a lot of painful grief
With my actions and my speech
But despite all the times I’ve done you dirty
You still want me to adopt me as your son and set me free
I could never save myself
With religious rituals
Or with any of my works
Got no power on my own
But with you inside of me, freedom is possible, so
Take out the old me and put your spirit in my soul
You can have control
Yeah, I’ve come to the end of me
I’m done being the enemy
This the death of me, rest in peace
Yeah, yeah
I’ve finally been redeemed!
I’ve finally been redeemed!
I’ve finally been redeemed!
My soul is alive again!
My soul is alive again!
I might just be an average man with an average life
But I don’t care cause’ the God of Heaven made me
[Outro]
"Huh, I woke up"
