losing insight


it seems lately i've been getting caught up in myself
worried about how i am perceived
i'm going inward
thinking too much about myself
losing insight into others' pain

i look to You
and see a selflessness that confounds me
it's so different
from this selfishness that exists in me
You're so beautiful
take my heart
mould it to Yours
i wana be like You

my focus is getting me down
i'm comparing myself with my own friends
it's cutting me off from life 
from living what it means to be giving

i want to decide to love more
than desiring to be loved
thanks for Your patience, God
Your forgiveness is the thing that gets me out

i look to You
and see a selflessness that confounds me
it's so different
from this selfishness that exists in me
You're so beautiful
take my heart
mould it to Yours
i wana be like You

my God sweat blood for me onto the Cross so i might see
and know what it means to love

You're so beautiful
take my heart
mould it to Yours
i wana be like You


like You/ Sarah & Jonathan Otto
