Lyrics

Find myself out in front
Do just what it takes
To serve only myself

But there are
No other gods before You, God
No other gods,
So what am I doing here?

Eyes narrow in this race
See and feel the rage
I feel out of control

But there are
No other gods before You, God
No other gods,
So what am I doing here?

I need...
An attitude like Christ
A servant’s heart not hate
Please search my heart
Please change my ways
And if it's not too late
I want a heart like Yours,
my Lord Jesus Christ
to be in You, restored

It’s the folly of pride
Breaks my feet of clay
No more footholds, they’re falling
Crumblin’ scaffolds away
It's all so temporary
I get so very angry
What can now restrain me?

Trapped in this body of flesh
My life ends up a mess
But thanks be to Jesus Christ
Who saves me from this test
