The Lyrics
There's a name I've been answerin' to in the dark
A voice that says I'm only as good as my worst part
It tells me to hide, keep the secret, wear the mask
'Cause if they saw the real me, they'd finally turn their backs
But shame's been lyin, sayin' I'm too far gone
Sayin' grace runs out right where I've gone wrong
But You don't see me as the thing I did
You see a child You already paid to forgive
There's nothing left to prove, there's nothing left to pay
You carried all my shame, You washed the stain away
So I'll lift my head, I'm not hidin' anymore
I am not my worst day, I am Yours
I spent so long just tryin' to keep it hidden
Scared that if they saw the truth, they'd walk away
But You already knew the very worst of me
And You ran to pull me close before I could explain
'Cause mercy didn't wait for me to clean up first
You met me in the mess and called me worth it
But You don't see me as the thing I did
You see a child You already paid to forgive
There's nothing left to prove, there's nothing left to pay
You carried all my shame, You washed the stain away
So I'll lift my head, I'm not hidin' anymore
I am not my worst day, I am Yours
Shame called me guilty, but grace called me clean
It said I'd gone too far, but You called me redeemed
Every lie it told, You answered with my name
And when You spoke, God - you broke every chain
I am not my worst day
God, I am clean
I am Yours.
