Identity
James Fortune Lyrics

Sitting here alone
Reflecting on my life in solitude

Thinking of You
Thinking of God and his presence in my life

I'm blown away
I'm amazed by God's persistent love

You never gave up on me
God never abandoned me no matter how many times I failed Him

Time after time
Repeatedly throughout my life

I let You down
Disappointed God and didn't live up to His expectations

So caught up and focused on me
Self-absorbed and self-centered

My own desires
Following my own wants and needs

Get in the way
Hinder me from fulfilling God's purpose in my life

I should be finding my purpose in You
My true purpose in life comes from serving God

So I can be
In order for me to become who God intended me to be

What You have for me
I need to discover God's divine plan for my life

I need You to search me oh God
Asking God to reveal the parts of myself that need changing

I want to be just like You
To become more Christ-like in my thoughts and actions

So that you can be seen when they see me
So that when people see me, they see the God in me

You know my thoughts
God knows my innermost thoughts

You know my heart
God knows my true intentions and motivations

Along the way I made mistakes
Throughout my journey, I've made many errors

But thank You for grace
Thanking God for showing me mercy and forgiveness

Hiding my flaws so they can see You
Asking God to cover my imperfections with His glory

Lord I want to change take it away
Asking God to remove anything that's hindering my spiritual growth

Whatever it is
Referring to any bad habit, mindset, or behavior that needs to be replaced

It's my desire
This is what I truly want for myself

I want Your heart
Asking God to give me a heart like His

Wasted enough of my destiny
Acknowledging that I've squandered the purpose God has for me

Trying to please those
Trying to gain approval and acceptance from others

Who really didn't care about me
Those who weren't concerned about my well-being

I'm trusting you
Putting my faith in God

Cause You hold the plan just for my life
Knowing that only God knows and has the perfect plan for my life

I stand unafraid
No longer afraid of what God has in store for me

Desperate for change
Clinging onto the hope of transformation

Please take it all so I can be free
Asking God to take away any burden or obstacle that's hindering my spiritual growth and freedom

Cause I have to be more like You
Knowing that becoming more like Christ is my ultimate goal as a Christian

Oh Lord this is me
Presenting myself before God

I'm asking You to please
Asking God to intervene and transform me

Change my identity
Asking God to transform me from the inside out and give me a new identity in Him

I wanna be more like You
Desiring to become more like Christ
