Back to Who I Am
by Paul Smith

Album: Back to Who I Am

What is happening to me?
As I look at my reflection
A familiar stranger once again I see
My pursuit of greater things
Has blocked my view of heaven
And what should really matter most to me

Oh, the simple faith I used to have
I know You long to see
From my land of compromise
You're calling me

Back to who I am
Back where we began
Taking childlike steps of faith
To walk with You again
Looking up to find You
Every chance I can
When my eyes are drawn away
Lead me by the hand
Back to who I am

Oh, how I complicate my life
Pushed and pulled in all directions
Being everything to everyone but You
Burning energy and time
Building things the world can notice
And missing what You want me most to do

I could sharpen my perspective
I would never lose my way
If I let my heart return to You each day

Back to who I am
Back where we began
Taking childlike steps of faith
To walk with You again
Looking up to find You
Every chance I can
When my eyes are drawn away
Lead me by the hand
Back to who I am

Oh, Lord, let my eyes
See me as You do
Oh, Lord, the best I am
Begins and ends with You

Oh, the simple faith I used to have
I know You long to see
From my land of compromise
You're calling me

Back to who I am
Back where we began
Taking childlike steps of faith
To walk with You again
Looking up to find You
Every chance I can
When my eyes are drawn away
Lead me by the hand
When my heart is turned away
Lead me by the hand
And take me back to who I am

Whoa-oh, back to who I am
Whoa-oh, back to who I am
Whoa-oh, back to who I am
Whoa-oh, back to who I am...
