definition of me

Steven Curtis Chapman

Here come those words again
I run for cover, Iââ?¬â?¢m dodging them.
But still they seem to find their way
around my best defense
Here come those little thoughts
of all I ought to be but Iââ?¬â?¢m not
I try talking to myself
but Iââ?¬â?¢m still not convinced
Iââ?¬â?¢m good, Iââ?¬â?¢m bad, Iââ?¬â?¢m everything in between oh
Iââ?¬â?¢m this, Iââ?¬â?¢m that, but really God we both know

It is Your love that defines me
and Your love that reminds me
itââ?¬â?¢s not what I do
This life I live, You have given
and in You I am hidden
This is what I know is true
that the definition of me is You

This ladder never ends
I climb up then we slide down again
Still they say youââ?¬â?¢ve not arrived
until you reach the top
But Your kingdomââ?¬â?¢s upside down
it is the servant who wears the crown
First is last and last is first
and Youââ?¬â?¢re all that Iââ?¬â?¢m not
ââ?¬Ë?Cause Iââ?¬â?¢m weak, Youââ?¬â?¢re strong, Iââ?¬â?¢m empty ââ?¬Ë?til You fill me
I sing this song to keep myself remembering

It is Your love that defines me
and Your love that reminds me
itââ?¬â?¢s not what I do
This life I live, You have given
and in You I am hidden
This is what I know is true
that the definition of me is You

I have been made by You
I have been saved by You
All that I am is all because of You
Iââ?¬â?¢m weak, Youââ?¬â?¢re strong, Iââ?¬â?¢m empty but You fill me
Iââ?¬â?¢m singing this song to keep myself remembering

It is Your love that defines
and Your love that reminds me
itââ?¬â?¢s not what I do
This life I live You have given
and in You, I am hidden
This is what I know is true
that the definition of me is You
