lyrics

I need to be honest, there’s a part of me that dies
For every sin and sadness I’m confessing
A ninety-minute reel of all the sorrow in my life
Depression magically turned into blessing
But all I am aware of is that I’m so self-aware
And I beat myself up for being self-abasing
I thank You for my new heart, but it’s still so dark in there
And how much of the mess are You replacing?

And I need You, Lord
Cut through all the noise
Of my mind

I write out of weakness so I can’t hide that I’m weak
As much as I want to be a safe haven
How can I be brave enough to sing what I don’t speak?
They’d know my insecurities and shame, then
Like sometimes I wish I could have a manly singing voice
Or the slightest bit of interest in hunting
It’s not that I think either one makes me more of a man
I just want all my friends to think I’m something

And I need You, Lord
Cut through all the noise
Of my life

Will You still sing through me when no one cares enough to listen?
Will You still speak through me when I can’t listen to myself?
Won’t You crush this singer-savior complex?
Bind it in the truth that I don’t need them to need me
God, I need them to need You

Like I need You, Lord
