Definition Of Me

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

‘Cause I’m weak, You’re strong, I’m empty ‘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
