Now I'm Not

I became friends with the guilt I felt

We got close I knew it well

We did everything together but it pulled me down

So much I didn't recognize myself

This heaviness in my chest

Lingering leaving me depressed

Getting so much in my head

I'm stuck defenseless

I gave it power over me

Believed everything it said to me

But I'm done with suffering

It's time for me to leave

I gotta be bold gotta have faith whenever I speak

I got to stand tall in Jesus's name may the guilt flee

I was never this brave until now

I was too afraid to shut them out

But now I'm not

I'm not

Guilt sat there and watched me cry

Never gave me a tissue to dry my eyes

It enjoyed seeing me, cuz it gave them life

But now I have the final say this time

It's got no power over me

I don't believe what it says to me

Now I'm done with suffering

Cuz I'm the one that's free

I gotta stay bold gotta keep my faith whenever I speak

I got to stand tall in Jesus's name may the guilt flee

I was never this brave until now

I was too afraid to shut them out

But now I'm not

I'm not

Guilt up against the Lord it don't stand a chance

I'm focused on my future not the past

Guilt can try to hurt me, I'm fine with that

Cuz I know God's got my back

I gotta stay bold gotta keep my faith whenever I speak (I speak)

I got to stand tall in Jesus's name may the guilt flee (guilt flee)

I was never this brave until now

I was too afraid to shut them out

But now I'm not

Ohhh

I gotta stay bold gotta keep my faith whenever I speak

I got to stand tall in Jesus's name may the guilt flee

I was never this brave until now

I was too afraid to shut them out

But now I'm not

I'm not

I'm not
