Lyrics

I'm living in a prison of my own making
Loneliness forms the walls of my cell
Who'd ever thought I'd choose to live here
Oh the power I give to fear
I could be free with just a little honesty
The mystery of the gospel is Christ within me
Pause to reflect on what that means
God’s Kingdom is here today
That makes all the difference in the way
I live and love and view who I am
But if I tell you who I am and you reject me
That's all I've got so I keep up my charade
I'll tell you facts and thoughts of others
Or the history of my brothers
But I'm still afraid to tell you who I am
I'm so afraid to tell you who I am
In my weakness his strength is known
Yet I’m pretentious when eyes roll
God grant me the courage to confess my sins
Instead of hoping to pretend
To one day become the person I pretend to be
Christ in me, my only hope of glory
Now what does it mean, “my hope of glory”
What does it mean when I’ve lost my way
There are other ways that seem right
But in the end I lose the fight
In the end it's Christ in me my hope of glory
If I tell you who I am and you reject me
That does not change who I am
I'll tell you joys and my fears,
And I'll share with you my tears
I'm not afraid to tell you who I am
Christ in me makes me who I am
