Pride Away
Kutless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All due to his pride
I don't want to be another one
Fallen due to my pride
Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away
Take my pride away
Lord keep me only focused on You
Make me a humble man
Don't ever let me take the credit
For all that you have done
Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away
Standing here amidst this point of definition
Pushing for position as I battle opposition
Am I on a mission or is it all in vain
Do you notice the difference or is it all the same
And who do I blame when my vision gets blurry I
Get in a hurry frustrated and feeling fury
Faith is enduring to stand the test of time
Answers are plain we make them hard to define
But pull from divine when problems arise
But pride denies and my stand never survives
In every one of our lives in every single day
We need to lay down our pride as God takes it away
Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away
