SENT - Who Am I? (feat. Derek Kelly)

Going round and round in circles
They all had something to say
Sliding their two cents into the cracks of my broken heart
But mama didn't raise no fool and Sunday School taught me well
YES I knew better well I thought I knew
Who am I
Like how I know the dialect and yet I can't dissect it its meaning or how I know it
The misdirection from my brain to my words has failed me
The consistent criticisms that erode my value into a cistern of doubt and anxiety
That stews and becomes stagnant
That builds and Builds and BUILDS AND MAKES ME SO ANGRY
Last time I checked I thought my feet were planted
But I found out I was a little slanted
Half myself knew my identity in Christ
While the other kept on searching for meaning buried deep inside of this crazy life
Feels like I'm on a teeter totter doing tug o war
Palms raw pulling back the rope of life in God
Resist the force that pulls questioning who are you
If it ain't child of God the wrong life we are choosing
If I abide in Him and He abides in me
Then my identity's secured in him eternally
If I abide in Him and He abides in me
Then my identity's secured in him eternally yeah
One ear aimed toward heaven
The other pressed firm to the earth
Took matters in my own hands
Pushed Elohim to the sidelines
I'll be okay
I've done it many countless times before
But now it's different
What a mess
What a mess
What a mess I've created
Mountains destroyed from sky rise to ruins
Can't even blame Him
Can't even blame Him
I learn best from failed tests the mess that I create
When failure it feels embedded within me innate
I don't do what I want then I hate what I do
When I fail I feel dumb yet God's followed through
He tells me to go then I rely on my strength
My building collapses the foundation escapes
From underneath like sand washed away from mistakes
Yet you sit you reside you smile you wait
I've learned to communicate how I can't communicate
How my weakness has compelled me to my knees
At the feet of the one who made me
In my weakness God communicates through me
Like a spark through my nervous system
I am no longer nervous
O captain my captain you illuminate my soul
You inspire me to write when I can't even think for myself
You communicate for me
Life is a poem that you so intricately design
That my attempts pale in comparison yet you still inspire me to write
I'm getting stronger
Strong
From weak to strong
Moving from glory to glory
I'm getting stronger
Strong
From weak to strong
Moving from glory to glory
You're consistent when others aren't
And in my failures you remind me
In my weakness I am made strong
So that I may not boast in myself but I may boast in my God
