No other presence

For as long as I remember

I never quite fit in

Holding my hands up in surrender

And got soaked up into their sin

Trying so hard to be like them

Ripped away parts of myself

My talk, my look was different

To be like everyone else

I just wanted their approval

I wanted acceptance

But now there's no other presence I would like

Then the presence of God

I've been ashamed of my own skin

People talk and people look

It's woven into my ribs

That I am not enough

I left someone who was sweet

To a group that's so mean

I will always feel guilty

For this scar that's engraved in me

I just wanted their approval

I wanted acceptance

But now there's no other presence I would like

Then the presence of God

The presence of God

Ohhhhh

The presence of God

Whooaaa

You're the only approval I need

For me to be complete

Ohhh the presence of God

Yeah I have your approval

And your acceptance

Ohh there's no other presence I would like

Then the presence of God

The presence of God

Ohhhhh

The presence of God

Whooaaa

You're the only approval I need

For me to be complete

Ohhh the presence of God

The presence of God
