Not Me

Intro – soft skank, airy keys)

Yeah yeah…

Let it rise now…

Not me… but You…

(Verse 1)

Woke up this morning with breath in my chest,

Another new mercy, yeah I know I’m blessed,

I ain’t perfect, I’ve stumbled before,

But Your love keep knockin’ on my door.

Every step I take, I’m learnin’ to see,

It ain’t about me, it’s who I can be,

A vessel of love in a world that’s cold,

Let Your love rise up through my soul.

(Pre-Chorus – lift)

When I feel weak, when I don’t feel strong,

Remind me, Lord, where I belong,

Not my will — let Yours be done,

Let Your love rise like the morning sun…

(Chorus – bright, toe-tapping)

So let Your love rise through me,

Every word, every act, every deed,

When they see me, let ‘em feel You,

Love so strong it breaks right through.

Let Your love rise through me,

In the dark where the hurting be,

If I’m walkin’, I’m walkin’ in truth,

Let Your love rise through…

(Verse 2)

Met a neighbor with pain in his eyes,

Heavy heart, carryin’ silent cries,

Didn’t have much, but I gave what I could,

Just a little love — and it felt so good.

A smile, a meal, just time to care,

That’s how Your presence fills the air,

We don’t need riches to change a day,

Just open hearts that choose Your way.

(Pre-Chorus)

When the world say “look out for yourself,”

You teach me to love somebody else,

In every moment, big or small,

Let me answer when You call…

(Chorus – full band, harmonies)

So let Your love rise through me,

Every word, every act, every deed,

When they see me, let ‘em feel You,

Love so strong it breaks right through.

Let Your love rise through me,

In the dark where the hurting be,

If I’m walkin’, I’m walkin’ in truth,

Let Your love rise through…

(Bridge – dub feel, worship moment)

Not my glory — it’s all Yours,

Every open and every closed door,

Use these hands, use this voice,

Every day I make that choice.

From the broken to the strong,

We all searchin’ where we belong,

If I can be love somehow,

Lord, I’m ready — use me now…

(Final Chorus – big, joyful, call & response)

Let Your love rise through me — (Rise through me!)

Every heart that I meet — (Let ‘em feel!)

That love that don’t ever run dry,

That grace that never pass by.

Let Your love rise through me — yeah,

In the way that I live each day,

If I’m breathin’, I’m here for truth,

Let Your love rise through…

(Outro – fade, horns + crowd sway)

Yeah yeah…

Rise through me…

All I am… belongs to You…

Let it rise. 🌅
