Prompt / Lyrics
Chorus: Lord, save me from myself, I need You more than I need air to breathe The devil hides in my desire And I don't want to be a slave to my intrusive thoughts Lord, save me from myself, I need You more than I need air to breathe The devil hides in my desire And I don't want to be a slave to my intrusive thoughts Verse 1: I'm at war with my reflection, see the scars in disguise My spirit's in confession while my ego testifies Tried to crown my own chaos, call it personal reign But I can't weather the storm when I'm worshiping pain My hunger's artificial-every bite leaves me hollow, Chasin' peace on a leash held by things I should've swallowed I barter with my past, but the debt don't fade, Only grace cuts checks for the mess I made. I'm Jacob in the desert, wrestling truth till it bleeds, But every wound You heal becomes a map to my knees. Chorus: Lord, save me from myself, I need You more than I need air to breathe. The devil hides in my desires, And I don't want to be a slave to my intrusive thoughts Lord, save me from myself, I need You more than I need air to breathe. The devil hides in my desires, And I don't want to be a slave to my intrusive thoughts Verse 2: Thoughts crash like cymbals in a choir of sin, Every verse a confession from the fire within. The devil deals illusions, I've been buying my lies, Till redemption flipped the script like a plot twist divine. My soul's in rehab, detoxing pride from my veins, Faith floods my lungs - that's holy oxygen exchanged. I've been blind to the beauty in the pain I fight, But You frame every loss in Your perfect light. Sin sold me comfort, but it changed too steep, So I tithe my ambition, just to sow what I reap. Chorus: Lord, save me from myself, I need You more than I need air to breathe. The devil hides in my desires, And I don't want to be a slave to my intrusive thoughts. Lord, save me from myself, I need You more than I need air to breathe. The devil hides in my desires, And I don't want to be a slave to my intrusive thoughts. Verse 3: The mirror cracked the moment I met Your mercy's reflection, Saw perfection in correction, resurrection in rejection. My ghosts tried to haunt, but their chains got revoked, 'Cause my sins turned sermons when Your spirit spoke. I don't chase the applause - I'm allergic to crowns, Just a vessel for the message when the beat breaks down. I'm clay with ambition, molded slow by the flame, Every trials an inscription carved deep in Your name. So when the storm starts preaching that I'm lost again, I'll just breathe in grace - that's my oxygen. Chorus: Lord, save me from myself, I need You more than I need air to breathe. The devil hides in my desires, And I don't want to be a slave to my intrusive thoughts. Lord, save me from myself, I need You more than I need air to breathe. The devil hides in my desires, And I don't want to be a slave to my intrusive thoughts.
