you don’t want me to be someone that I’m not
you don’t tell me who I am is not enough
you’d never shame me for the times that I screwed up
if I hear that, that’s not You

I don’t annoy you when I’m calling on your name
I’m not a burden to you or just some charity case
you won’t hide from me or tell me to go away
if I feel that, that’s not You

that’s not you at my lowest
making sure I remember
every single failure
all times I missed the mark
that’s not you in my weakness
telling me I’m not worth it
the race that I’ve been running
I should just give it up
that’s not your voice, that’s not the truth
that’s not you

you don’t make a promise then go change your mind
you don’t tell me to stay away till I clean up my life
you never make me question if I should be alive
if I hear that, that’s not You

there’s a difference between the life you bring
and the lies the darkness speaks  
there’s a war inside this heart of mine
God, help me to see
