Being Myself In Jesus
by Graham Kendrick

Album: Breaking Of The Dawn

Being myself is not half so bad as I thought that it might be.
Living in the love of Jesus, who loves the likes of me.
And isn't it good to know, I don't even have to try,
To fight for a place in this old human race, since I'm already home and dry.
Phewwww!

Seems to me that the things I like are the things that I do well.
Seems to me that the things I hate are the things in which I fail.
'N isn't it good to know, there's someone who understands,
When I give up He still loves me as much as when I'm doing the best I can.
So I'm being myself in Jesus and He's being Himself in me.
I'm being myself in Jesus and that's the way to be.
I'm being myself in Jesus and He's being Himself in me.
And the life that He gives is the life that I live and I'm living it naturally.

So many times I have tried to be something that I'm really not.
Thinking so much of the things I lack, I forget the things I've got,
Yet it's so hard to take, when the image comes tumbling down,
God gives you grace when you're put in your place, down on your face on the ground.

So I'm being myself in Jesus and He's being Himself in me.
I'm being myself in Jesus and that's the way to be.
I'm being myself in Jesus and He's being Himself in me
And the life that He gives is the life that I live and I'm living it naturally.

If I should say what I really feel, O would you laugh at me?
If I should show my weaknesses, would you walk all over me?
If you should find the real me, tell me would you turn me down?
Please tell me No, Keep my confidence growing, in this family love I found.

'Cos I'm being myself in Jesus and He's being Himself in me.
I'm being myself in Jesus and that's the way to be.
I'm being myself in Jesus and He's being Himself in me.
And the life that He gives is the life that I live and I'm living it naturally.
