I know Who I Am

I know who I am, no lies between us now

Just You and me, Lord, and the truth somehow

The things I've done, the roads that brought me here

The victories and failures, every hope and fear

I don't need the world to know what only You can see

The hidden parts, the honest heart, the secret side of me

You know the reasons why I've fallen, why I've stood

You know me better than I do, and You've loved me through it all

I know who I am, but who do I want to be?

The next step on this road is still a choice for me

Will I follow my own way like I've done so many times?

Or will I trust the hand that sees beyond my eyes?

I know who I am, but who do I want to be?

Lord, give me strength to stand up to me

Looking back I see the places where I walked alone

The times I thought I knew the way and made myself the throne

I see the miles I gained and all the ground I lost

The lessons in the dust, the wisdom of the cost

And I remember seasons when I followed after You

Or walked beside someone whose faith helped me see what was true

Those roads were never easy, but they led me through the night

Toward a peace I couldn't find until I walked within Your light

I know who I am, but who do I want to be?

The next step on this road is still a choice for me

Will I follow my own way like I've done so many times?

Or will I trust the hand that sees beyond my eyes?

I know who I am, but who do I want to be?

Lord, give me strength to stand up to me

This moment is a gift You've placed within my hands

Not yesterday or someday, but the place where now I stand

A chance to shape tomorrow by the choices made today

A chance to hear Your voice and walk a different way

I want to be more like You where everyone can see

And in the quiet hidden places known to You and me

Because when all is said and done, no one can choose for me

This freedom is the gift You give me every day

I know who I am, but who do I want to be?

The next step on this road is still a choice for me

Will I follow my own way like I've done so many times?

Or will I trust the hand that sees beyond my eyes?

I know who I am, but who do I want to be?

Lord, give me strength to stand up to me

Every day You place the question in my hands

Every day another chance to trust Your plans

Not because You force me, not because I must

But because You've shown Yourself worthy of my trust

I know who I am, but who do I want to be?

I've seen where my own wisdom and my own strength can lead

Now I'm asking You to grow in me what I can never be

Lord, give me strength to stand up to me

I know who I am

And I know who You are

So here I stand

With this moment

This now

And this choice

Lead me, Lord
