Beyond myself

Try to dig for something deeper…is what this world tries to tell me…you can try harder…give it all you got…what about when my strength is gone…when my flesh is weak…when my will to live is gone…when my tiredness overwhelms me…when my feelings try to get the best of me…

You have taught me to live beyond myself…
You have tried to teach me what it means to live for others…
You have brought me to a place…I can’t do this by myself any longer…
You have bought my life with your precious blood…

Beyond myself…I begin to see the life you have for me…
Beyond myself…I begin to step out in faith…
Beyond myself…you have shown me what it means to live for others…
Beyond myself…I found true hope…because you have paid the price…

I can’t imagine the love you have promised me…beyond my selfish desires
I can’t begin to understand the mercy…that you are offering to me…
Holding my hand…and reaching out in love and grace…
