Here come those words again
|
I run for cover, I'm dodging them.
|
But still they seem to find their way
|
around my best defense
|
Here come those little thoughts
|
of all I ought to be but I'm not
|
I try talking to myself
|
but I'm still not convinced
|
I'm good, I'm bad, I'm everything in between oh
|
I'm this, I'm that, but really God we both know
|
|
It is Your love that defines me
|
and Your love that reminds me
|
it's not what I do
|
This life I live, You have given
|
and in You I am hidden
|
This is what I know is true
|
that the definition of me is You
|
|
This ladder never ends
|
I climb up then we slide down again
|
Still they say you've not arrived
|
until you reach the top
|
But Your kingdom's upside down
|
it is the servant who wears the crown
|
First is last and last is first
|
and You're all that I'm not
|
a€?Cause I'm weak, You're strong, I'm empty a€?til You fill me
|
I sing this song to keep myself remembering
|
|
It is Your love that defines me
|
and Your love that reminds me
|
it's not what I do
|
This life I live, You have given
|
and in You I am hidden
|
This is what I know is true
|
that the definition of me is You
|
|
I have been made by You
|
I have been saved by You
|
All that I am is all because of You
|
I'm weak, You're strong, I'm empty but You fill me
|
I'm singing this song to keep myself remembering
|
|
It is Your love that defines
|
and Your love that reminds me
|
it's not what I do
|
This life I live You have given
|
and in You, I am hidden
|
This is what I know is true
|
that the definition of me is You
|
