True as I Am

[Verse]
The mirror cracks
A splintered view
I see the pieces
But none feel true
They whisper
They shout
A thousand names
But none of them mine
None stake their claim
[Prechorus]
Oh
How they try to bend my soul
But the heart resists
It stays whole
[Chorus]
True as I am
That’s how I’ll be
Loved by the One who set me free
No need to change
No need to hide
I’m cradled in grace
Arms open wide
[Verse 2]
The world carves lines
A map of doubt
Tracing paths I won’t walk out
The sun breaks through
A holy sign
His light reminds me
This soul is mine
[Prechorus]
Oh
How they try to shape my way
But the truth in me won’t betray
[Chorus]
True as I am
That’s how I’ll be
Loved by the One who set me free
No need to change
No need to hide
I’m cradled in grace
Arms open wide
