Inside
by John Fischer

Album: Self Portrait

Inside
A change is happenin' on the inside
And it makes no sense for me to hide
What I don't want you to see
Come see
Everything that lies inside of me
'Cause amidst the mess I've made of me
You might see the Lord

'Cause He's in there movin'
Got a knife and He's prunin'
Cuttin' out the old man
Bringin' in the new
And it's foolish to fake it
So I'm lettin' Him take it
'Cause He said I'd be like Jesus
When He's finally through

I tried
To make my changes on the outside
But I soon got weary and I cried
"I can't do it, Lord"
He said
"Don't you see that's why My Son bled?
Took your failures on His own head
So I could recreate you"

'Cause He's in there movin'
Got a knife and He's prunin'
Cuttin' out the old man
Bringin' in the new
And it's foolish to fake it
So I'm lettin' Him take it
'Cause He said I'd be like Jesus
When He's finally through

Inside
When He makes the changes inside
I have no more time for foolish pride
All the glory goes to Him
