(Verse 1)
I look in the mirror, see the lines etched deep,
The weight of the choices, the secrets I keep.
The anger, the hurt, a familiar friend,
The patterns I've fallen in, it seems they'll never end.
If I don't change it, it's like I accept it, you see?
This life I'm living, is it really meant for me?
(Verse 2)
The bitterness lingers, a familiar taste,
Resentment and anger, a destructive waste.
Words left unspoken, like stones in my throat,
A tangled-up mess, a heartbreaking note.
If I don't let it go, it'll keep me bound,
This pain and this sorrow, will never leave me sound.
(Chorus)
If I don't change it, I accept it, that much I know,
But only in His power, the only way I'll grow.
By the blood of Jesus, that washes over me,
A river of mercy, thats sets my spirit free.
(Bridge)
So I'm laying it down, this burden I bear,
Confessing my failings, admitting I'm there.
In the depths of my weakness, He makes me strong,
His love's an embrace that helps me belong.
(Chorus)
If I don't change it, I accept it, that much I know,
But only in His power, the only way I'll grow.
By the blood of Jesus, that washes over me,
A river of mercy, thats sets my spirit free.
(Outro)
And as I surrender, I feel myself mend,
His love's a new beginning, that will never end.
He washes away that which I couldn't let go,
With the blood of Jesus, my spirit will grow.
