Songs: Hard times

"Redefined"


VERSE 1:

Here I am once again

I can't believe You're still my Friend

When I keep slippin' up and fallin' in the same place

Will You forgive me one more time?

Help me turn form this familiar crime.

Remind me who I am, that I reflect Your face.


CHORUS:

Why do we think we're defined by our flaws?

Are my problems the real me?

Do my good parts mean nothing at all?

Or are they the true thing?


VERSES 2 & 3:

Let's not get caught up in the lie.

I'm not gonna give it a chance to fly.

Your purpose is greater than my own insecurities.

When I give in and I fall down

I'm not gonna linger on the ground.

I'll let You raise me up and turn my scars to beauty.


When I'm tempted by the same

And I don't wanna play that game,

Mt spirit's willing but my flesh is oh so weak.

With You there's strength to overcome.

By standing firm the battle's won.

You help me make it through when it's You I seek


CHORUS:

Why do we think we're defined by our flaws?

Are my problems the real me?

Do my good parts mean nothing at all?

Or are they the true thing?


VERSE 4:

When I give in and I fall down

I'm not gonna linger on the ground.

I'll let You raise me up and turn my scars to beauty.

With You there's strength to overcome.

By standing firm the battle's won.

You help me make it through when it's You I seek
