Lyrics

I'm not as strong as people think I am

I acknowledge that I don't possess the strength perceived by others.

When weakness comes I just run away

In the face of weakness, I tend to escape or avoid confronting it.

My every fear and insecurity

My fears and insecurities persistently trouble me.

Keeps haunting me

These fears and insecurities continue to haunt and torment me.

And taunting me

The issues I face are not only haunting but also mocking me.

They're telling me

These challenges are conveying a message that I can't undergo positive transformation.

That I can never change

I am being told that I am incapable of changing for the better.

I know the maker of my heart

I am aware that the creator of my heart is orchestrating things for my benefit.

Is working things for good

Despite knowing that, I question why I am experiencing this emotional pain.

But why do I feel this pain

My shame is a constant companion, affecting how I live.

Living inside my shame

Even though I am saved by God's grace, shame continues to reside within me.

And if I'm saved by His amazing grace

Being adopted into His family, I struggle with understanding my own value.

Adopted now in His name

I question my worth, seeing myself as insignificant, akin to dust and dirt.

Why do I see my worth

I hide my emotional wounds and vulnerabilities from others.

As nothing more than dust and dirt

Despite my efforts to rise, I frequently find myself falling back down.

Can't let em' see my scars and open wounds

All the sorrows I've experienced invade my soul, making me feel isolated.

I'm climbing up but i keep falling down

This pain declares that I am alone, and this state is my home.

Every sorrow I have ever known

Feelings of isolation persist, making it difficult to break free.

Invades my soul

The creator of my heart is actively working for my well-being.

Says I'm alone

Yet, I question the reason for the ongoing pain and shame I experience.

This is home

Even though I'm saved by grace, my perception of worth remains low.

And they'll never let me go

I struggle to see myself as anything more than dust and dirt.

I know the maker of my heart

The concept of being insignificant, like dust and dirt, is emphasized.

Is working things for good

Despite knowing the solutions, I find myself grappling with these challenges.

But why do I feel this pain

Even with the opportunity for freedom, there's a comfort in remaining confined.

living inside my shame

The awareness of God's plan for my good contrasts with my internal struggles.

And If I'm saved by His amazing grace

I question why the feeling of safety exists within the confines of my struggles.

Adopted now, in His name

Despite the knowledge of positive change, the familiarity of pain feels secure.

Why do I see my worth

The internal conflict persists despite the divine orchestration of my life.

As nothing more than dust and dirt

Questions about worth and value continue to overshadow the truth.

Dust and dirt

The recurring theme of feeling insignificant, like dust and dirt, lingers.

I know the answers I confess

The speaker acknowledges understanding the answers to their struggles.

So why am i still struggling through this

Despite this understanding, they continue to grapple with ongoing challenges.

My prison door is open wide

An opportunity for freedom exists, symbolized by an open prison door.

Why does it feel so safe to say inside

Paradoxically, the speaker finds comfort in remaining within their struggles.

I know the maker of my heart

The assurance of God working for good contrasts with the struggle to break free.

Is working things for good

The pain and shame persist despite the acknowledgment of divine adoption.

But why do I feel this pain

The internal conflict raises questions about the purpose of ongoing pain.

Living inside my shame

Even with the grace of salvation, shame continues to reside within.

And If I'm saved by His amazing grace

The adoption in God's name contrasts with the struggle to recognize personal worth.

Adopted now, in His name

Despite divine adoption, the speaker grapples with a distorted self-perception.

Why do I see my worth

The recurring question of personal worth and value persists.

As nothing more than dust and dirt

The speaker's self-perception is marked by feeling like nothing more than dust
