LYRICS:
Reflecting in the mirror, I play back in my head the actions I've chosen.
It's a lot...Yet my mind keeps on trying to minimize the sheer stupidity, the sheer insanity of my choices.
I've prayed a lot..."Lord, God forgive this fool, who in his self-pity, has made yet another mess of what You've availed me. I know Your Truth...I know Your Ways."
When will I let go?
When will I see?

I know better, I know You
I'm not the only wretched soul
To face dark days, to face great pains, You've seen them too
You've seen the hearts of men
You've walked the pain of life
You died and overcame
I have only me to blame

You walked blamelessly in life
You talked shamelessly of why
You called constantly to me
Deny your ways and follow mine
Take up your cross and trust me with your life
Trust me

Like a sheep walking to the slaughter
As the sands shift with life's harsh tides
I'm the worm writhing in the fire
Mourning for myself as though I didn't know why
I cry aloud as the guilt grows louder
Pushing me around as I submit to shame
It's such a shame that I couldn't do better
I guess it's time to die and never try again

You walked blamelessly in life
You talked shamelessly of why
You called constantly to me
Deny your ways and follow mine
Take up your cross and trust me with your life
Trust me

Forgive my sinful ways
Help me turn away
Cause my heart to change
Hold me with your Grace
Reach inside and find
The cancer that's inside
Kill my wretched pride
Raise me back to life

You walked blamelessly in life
You talked shamelessly of why
You called constantly to me
Deny your ways and follow mine!
Take up your cross and trust me with your life
Trust me

You slay me
You saved me
Laid down Your life to claim me
You claimed me
I owe you everything
