Embracing Imperfection: Finding Grace in Self-Reflection
Lyrics
Here I am by myself again
Feeling alone once more
Overthinking every little thing I did
Overanalyzing every action I took
I don't wanna blame myself for every slip
Avoiding self-blame for every mistake
But whenever I mess up I slide back into it, I
When I make errors, I revert to self-criticism
Need your grace, need your grace
Seeking forgiveness and understanding
Life's a journey, and I need patience
Life is a process, requiring patience
Need to know that I'm enough
Desiring assurance of self-worth
Even when I ain't feeling like it
Even when I don't feel adequate
I'd like to say I try to do my best to be
Striving to be compassionate to others
A kind person and give grace to those I meet
Yet neglecting to extend the same to myself
But I never considered to do the same to myself
Considering self-compassion for the first time
And after this whole time I wonder, should I start now?
Questioning whether I should begin now
It's only right that I give myself grace
Recognizing the necessity of self-forgiveness
Lord knows I'm not perfect and that I make mistakes
Acknowledging imperfection and past mistakes
But I know if I talked to him, he'd tell me to stop
Realizing the need to cease self-criticism
Beating myself up, when could build myself up
To instead focus on self-improvement
Here I am by myself again
Feeling isolated again
Overthinking every little thing I did
Ruminating over every small action
I don't wanna blame myself for every slip
Resisting self-condemnation for errors
But whenever I mess up I slide back into it, I
Regressing into self-blame when I fail
Need your grace, need your grace
Seeking forgiveness and understanding (repeated)
Life's a journey, and I need patience
Life requires patience (repeated)
Need to know that I'm enough
Seeking assurance of self-worth (repeated)
Even when I ain't feeling like it
Even when feeling inadequate (repeated)
I should stop putting all these expectations on
Setting high standards for myself
'Cuz I know too well by now I cannot live 'em up
Recognizing inability to meet these standards
Need to let you be the one to call me out when I'm wrong
Desiring guidance for self-correction
Instead of dwelling in the past, obsessing over my flaws
Avoiding fixation on past mistakes
And I can't fix myself!
Feeling incapable of self-repair
I've really tried before
Attempting self-improvement previously
But I'd still hurt
Despite efforts, experiencing emotional pain
And every hour that I spent just made me feel worse
Time spent on self-improvement worsening feelings
But but you say I matter, Lord
Believing in personal significance to the divine
So it must be true that I am worth it
Accepting self-worth based on this belief
And I'm not a burden
Asserting personal value
Need your grace, need your grace
Seeking forgiveness and understanding (repeated)
Life's a journey, and I need patience
Life requires patience (repeated)
Need to know that I'm enough
Seeking assurance of self-worth (repeated)
Even when I ain't feeling like it
Even when feeling inadequate (repeated)
Need your grace, need your grace
Seeking forgiveness and understanding (repeated)
Life's a journey, and I need patience
Life requires patience (repeated)
Need to know that I'm enough
Seeking assurance of self-worth (repeated)
Even when I ain't feeling like it
Even when feeling inadequate (repeated)
