this is me lyrics

Whenever I had the nerve to think
that I had (outgrown my teacher),
or I was living too good (to listen to the preacher);
You'd make it so that I would realize my disillusion,
then I'd have to re-evaluate some things (oh I).

At one time, I was truly
a circumstantial (kind of praiser),
only when things were going good,
I'd lift my (voice in worship);
forgetting when all of the chips were down,
who faithfully stayed around, and helped me out,
Lord, I don't know how?

(At times) I lost sight of my faith,
(at times), I tried but I (found it hard to wait on You).
Many times I have taken things in my own hands,
and messed up bad, so here I am singing...

Chorus:
This is me (in my entirety),
this is me, (a person saved by grace),
humbly, confessing,
(with You I'm something)
(but without You I'm nothing, Lord).

This is me, (so plain and ordinary),
this is me (minus everything fancy),
placed simply here (to give You praises)
(and give You honor to Your name).

Verse 2:
Through trials, You mold me,
I'm forever a work of (art in progress),
though I don't always seem to see it,
yes, it (does manifest).
It's just so evidently no one can deny
that You're the One working through me,
so I can be what You (called me).

With thoughts of faith, I read Your Word
and (boldly claim my blessings),
and with my whole heart,
I will (worship You simply for being)
above all things, the morning star,
that brings light and hope for me;
Lord, I really need Thee.

(At times) I lost sight of my faith,
(at times), I tried but I (found it hard to wait on You).
Many times I have taken things in my own hands,
and messed up bad, so here I am...

Chorus

Bridge:
I pray that You forgive me (for the times I)
couldn't take at Your word (word, Lord),
(I am) willing to give my everything,
(everything to please Thee).

(Lord), Your grace is more than (sufficient)
(and) as for Your will for me, (I accept it),
(and) who I am in You,
I'm confident and I believe,
please hear me, I come to Thee.

Chorus
