The Struggle

Sometimes you scare me by what you cause me to see, and I'm afraid of knowing who I am
Though you've changed me, there's still a whole lot of old wineskin, and to open up would destroy the me I'm afraid to show
One part of me doesn't want to grow, but I'm tired of this lingering winter
Tired of ground so hard and cold
Plough your way through - I'm asking you to, oh, Jesus
Lord, you're my only hope

Without you, I can't face myself
Without you, I can't face myself
Without you, I can't face myself
Without you

My pride wants me to hide inside myself, but I love you, Lord
I don't want our love put on the shelf
I'm tired of fighting to be who I am
Jesus, make me what you want me to be
Because of you, I desire reality
A love for you is what I'm dying to receive
Though I hate what I am, I understand that you promised me
You've promised me freedom in your truth, but I can only face myself when I face you

Without you, I can't face myself
Without you, Lord, I can't face myself
And I'll be ready, ready to face myself when I face you
