Contemporary Christian - At His Feet - "It's Not Me, It's You"

A song I wrote based on something God impressed on me years ago, the words that resonated with me then are "If they don't hear and see me in everything you say and do, then they won't hear or see me in anything you say or do". It's a call to check yourself at work, in public, and make sure your life is aligned with his love, mercy, grace, and holiness. If you laugh at or crack the same inappropriate jokes, use inappropriate language, act rude, angry etc in front of others and then want to tell them about the love of God, what impact do you think the life you've lived before their very eyes are going to have on the words you speak of Christ?

[Verse 1]
We live our lives for all the world to see
A magnifying glass covering you and me
Are we checking ourselves at the door
Or do we cave in to our old man once more?
Are we listening to your still small voice
Or are you drowned out in our noise!
[Chorus]
If they don’t hear me,
In everything you say
If they don’t see me,
In everything you do
How will they ever know that I...
Made a change... in you.
And if they don’t hear me
In anything you say
And if they don’t see me
In anything you do
Then when... you speak of me
They will never... believe you.
[Verse 2]
We speak our words, and all may hear
But does what we say draw them near
Are we filtering our thoughts with your word
Or was once again our old man heard!
Do they hear in us your still small voice
Or is all they hear just a noise
[Chorus]
If they don’t hear me,
In everything you say
If they don’t see me,
In everything you do
How will they ever know that I...
Made a change... in you.
And if they don’t hear me
In anything you say
And if they don’t see me
In anything you do
Then when... you speak of me
They will never... believe you.
[Bridge]
In all I say, in all I do
May I reflect your truth
It’s not me, it’s you
In all I say, in all I do
Your light will shine
It’s not me, it’s you
(Repeat Chorus)
[Outro]
In all I say, in all I do
Your light will shine
It’s not me, it’s you
May I reflect your truth
Remind me Lord that
It’s not me,
It's you.
