It's easy to write words
Relate to others alike
But can I demonstrate a life that's
Being changed by the Word
My heart beatin' inside
Ringin' out to be Christ like
It's a little bit different
When the time comes again
Can I be consistent?
Stay away from the things
I once did
And instead
Choose to shine
Use the light
That I once hid
(Once hid)
Standards are hard to live up to
When people from your life
Back there
Start to come through
What will you then choose
When the things of the world
Come back 'round trynna test
You can deny what you did
Spout little white lies
Like you were only a kid
That's a tough one to sell though
'Cuz the last time you fell
Was last month
And they caught it on vid
Lord I'm split in two
'Cuz my spirit is willing
But my flesh is there too
I have something to prove
'Cuz they're expecting the old me
But I pray that all they see is You
Let Your light shine before men
When desires creep in
May I ignore them
May all I do point to Your truth
May they long for something new
Seek direction
From the Father in Heaven
Listen
There's a constant struggle for my soul
It's not dark versus light
More like new versus old
I played this world like a casting call
'Cuz when the world needed a yes man
I took the main role
Thoughts are lingering in places
My mind wants to sin
Lord please fill the spaces
Help me to be an example
Of who You called me to be
No longer a slave to fear
Now its time to set others free
