This Is Me - Kierra Sheard

Whenever I had the nerve to think that I had outgrown my teacher

Or I was living too good to listen to the preacher

You’d make it so that I would realize my disillusion

Then I’d have to re-evaluate some things

At one time I was truly a circumstantial kind of praiser

Only when things were going good I’d lift my voice to worship

Forgetting, when all of the chips were down who faitfully stayed around

And helped me out, Lord I don’t know how

At times, I lost sight of my faith

At times, I tried

But I found it hard to wait on You

Many times I have taken things in my own hands

And messed up bad

So here I am singing

This is me

(In my entirety)

This is me

(A person saved by grace)

Humbly, confessing:

With you I’m something but without you I’m nothing Lord

This is me

(So plain and ordinary)

This is me

(Minus everything fancy)

Placed simply here

To give you praises and give you honor to your name

Through trials you mold me

I’m forever a work of art in progress

Though I don’t always seem to see it

Yes it does manifest

It’s just so evidently

No one can deny that You’re the one

Working through me, so I can be

What you called me

With thoughts of faith I read Your Word

And boldly proclaim my blessing

And with my whole heart I will worship you

Simply for being above all things

The morning star that brings light and hope for me

Lord I really need thee

I pray that you forgive me for the times I couldn’t take at your Word

Word Lord, I am willing to give my everything

Everything to please thee

Lord, you grace is more than sufficient and

As for your will for me

I accept it and

Who I am in You I’m confident and I believe

Please here me

I come to thee
