Song Lyrics

---

I don’t understand it, I can’t change who I am
You know I’ve tried and I’ve tried
I’ve worked on this mess, I’ve beaten back selfishness
And I’ve even nailed my pride
But it just keeps coming back
And it’s all the same old stuff
I can’t do it on my own
So here at last, I give up

‘Cause I’m not that strong
I wanna live Your way every day of my life
But I’m not that strong
This time I can’t even seem to try
Turn this heart of stone into flesh and blood
Pour Your Spirit down on me like a flood
So do what I’ve been needing all along
I’m not that strong
Lord, change my heart

I have the desire, Lord, give me the power
To live all my life for You
‘Cause deep inside I see, my spirit is willing
But this flesh is weak, it’s true
I don’t like to admit it
But there’s a war inside me
And despite my pretenses
You’re the One to set me free

‘Cause I’m not that strong
I wanna live Your way every day of my life
But I’m not that strong
This time I can’t even seem to try
Turn this heart of stone into flesh and blood
Pour Your Spirit down on me like a flood
So do what I’ve been needing all along
I’m not that strong
Lord, change my heart

I can see that I’m weak
I’m down on my knees
I’m needing You to save me from me
God, hear my plea…

‘Cause I’m not that strong
I wanna live Your way every day of my life
But I’m not that strong
This time I can’t even seem to try
Turn this heart of stone into flesh and blood
Pour Your Spirit down on me like a flood
So do what I’ve been needing all along
I’m not that strong
Lord, change my heart
