It's On
Olivia the Band Lyrics

I have nothing You need, just a lot to hide
I don't possess anything that You require, but I have many secrets that I keep hidden.

So why am I still here with You by my side
Despite my shortcomings, I wonder why I still choose to remain with You.

All I do is mess up, do the wrong thing
I constantly make mistakes and choose incorrect actions.

Instead of shining light, darkness shines through me
Rather than radiating positivity, negativity and darkness are what people see in me.

Don't wanna talk about it, just wanna shut it out
I don't want to discuss my problems; I prefer to ignore them.

I'm not as bad as You think, the things I do are right
I want to believe that I'm not as flawed as you perceive me to be, and that my actions are justified.

At least that's what I say, try to tell myself
That's the narrative I tell myself in an effort to convince myself.

Got it under control, I don't need Your help
I believe that I have everything under control and don't require Your assistance.

Try to do the right thing, end up doing it wrong
Although I strive to make the correct choices, I often find myself making mistakes.

Don't deserve this life or even write this song
I feel unworthy of the life I've been given and even questioning whether I should express myself through this song.

More I think of You, less I thing of myself
As I focus more on You, I become less consumed with my own self-interest.

Lord, increase Your light and shadow me out
I pray for Your light to shine brighter and overshadow my own darkness.

Tell me it's out of love... why can't you see
Please assure me that all your actions stem from love... why can't you comprehend that?

Tell me it's out of love... it's You, not me
Convince me that your motivations are driven by love, not my own faults.

So with the mind, I myself serve the law of Him
Mentally, I strive to follow the teachings of God's law.

But with the flesh of my bone, serve the law of sin
Yet, in my physical actions and desires, I often succumb to the temptations of sin.

O wretched man that I am, who will deliver me
Oh, what a pitiable existence I lead; who will save me from this predicament?

From this body of death pulling from His tree
From this human body that is bound to perish, being influenced by sin, and yearning salvation.

I wanna talk about it, don't wanna shut it out
I desire to have open discussions about my struggles rather than suppressing them.

I am as bad as you think, the things I do aren't right
I acknowledge that I am indeed as flawed as you perceive me, and my actions are not righteous.

At least that's what I say, try to tell myself
That's the narrative I repeat to myself in an attempt to convince myself otherwise.

You got it under control, Lord I need Your help
You have everything in perfect order, Lord, and I desperately require Your assistance.
