Can't Find It
Discovering Strength and Love Beyond Myself
Lyrics
To speak the truth when I feel afraid
To be honest when fear arises, but I lack the courage
I don't have it in me
I do not possess the ability within myself
When I'm tempted
When faced with temptation
Walk the other way
Choose to go in the opposite direction
I don't have it in me
I lack the internal strength
Any strength that it takes to forgive
Any strength needed to forgive
A true desire to keep my heart wide open
A sincere desire to keep my heart open
A love that loves you more than myself (A love that loves someone more that myself)
A love that prioritizes someone else over myself
More than anything else
A love that values others more than anything else
I can't find it me
I cannot find these qualities within myself
I find it in you
I discover them in you (possibly referring to a higher power or someone else)
I can't find in me
Once again, I can't find these qualities within myself
I find it in you
I find them in you (reaffirming reliance on someone or something else)
Everything that's good is you
Everything good is associated with you
I know it's the truth
A confirmation that this is the truth
To trust you blind when I don't understand
To trust blindly when understanding is lacking
I don't have it in me
I lack the capability within myself
To believe yours is the better plan
To believe that your plan is superior
I don't have it in me
Once again, I lack the capability within myself
To give in let go of my pride
To surrender, release my pride
Admit my wrongs and try to make them right
Admit my mistakes and strive to correct them
A love that loves others more than myself
A love that prioritizes others over myself
Lord I need your help
A plea for divine assistance
Who I am
Expressing personal incompleteness
Is incomplete
Recognizing the need for someone else
Who you are
Acknowledging the importance of who the other person is
Is what I need
Stating a dependency on that person
Any light
Any positive attribute coming from me
That comes from me
Originates from you (again, likely referring to a higher power or someone else)
Comes from you
A confirmation of the source of goodness
Because I see
Highlighting the ability to see this truth
