Christian Rey - Identity (feat. Elly Shelburne) Lyrics

Do you remember when colors were bright
Do you remember when I was your sight
You sought me through the wilderness
My child, my child, my child
I see, what you promised me, promised me, I
Found myself in your identity, dentity, Im
Searching for your love so endlessly, endlessly, now
That I found your grace

You were putting things together
You were so young, such a go getter
Avoided the son, ain't just the weather
Lifes' fools gold when you got no treasure
Stuck to yourself, cause that was just comfortable
Easy to dwell, when you're not vulnerable
Easy to tell, when thoughts get intolerable
Easy to yell, when things get uncomfortable
Lost in your ways, it wasn't a phase, those were the days, you paid up the price
For thinking a man, was just being nice
Holding to close to what could be your wife
And friends who don't care
Whether you live or you die in despair
You took a chance and complained it ain't fair
Just a brave kid who turned out to be scared, uh
Lost in anxiety, cost you some agony
Even sobriety, left you just staggering
Looking for answers, to why you don't live up to your standards
Misplaced your identity, led to self rivalry
Life got hard, and you let it harden things
Missing the glow, that flowed through your arteries
Searching for more, searching for sanity

Do you remember when colors were bright
Do you remember when I was your sight
You sought me through the wilderness
My child, my child, my child
I see, what you promised me, promised me, I
Found myself in your identity, dentity, Im
Searching for your love so endlessly, endlessly, now
That I found your grace
I see, what you promised me, promised me, I
Found myself in your identity, dentity, Im
Searching for your love so endlessly, endlessly, now
That I found your grace

I've been putting things together
I've been through a ton, but now I think I get it
Avoided the son, I wish it was the weather
But now I found the gold, cause I can see the treasure
Stuck to myself, and ya that was comfortable
Started to dwell, when I got vulnerable
Easy to tell, which thoughts were intolerable
God didn't yell, that I should be comfortable
I found my way, out of my phase, out from the days
Where I paid the price
Thank god that a man is just not being nice
Or holding your wife, too close or to tight
Thank god that my friends, really do care
Whether I'm joyous or I'm in despair
The grace that you gave to me really ain't fair
But now I am brave and don't gotta be scared
Found in eternity, and the cost was nothing
Now my sobriety, leads me to worshipping
Now I got answers cause, I'm living to your standards, yuh
Christ my identity, now its a part of me
Life getting hard, and it will not harden me
Gave me the flow, not just in my arteries
Searching for you, out of your love for me

I see, what you promised me, promised me, I
Found myself in your identity, dentity, Im
Searching for your love so endlessly, endlessly, now
That I found your grace
I see, what you promised me, promised me, I
Found myself in your identity, dentity, Im
Searching for your love so endlessly, endlessly, now
That I found your grace

Some days I just don't, feel like I'm worth it
What is my purpose, stuck at the surface
Am I deserted, I'm just afraid of
Making mistakes, like everyone else
Like everyone does, show me to love
Myself like you do
Show me the armor presented to me
So i'll be the man that you want me to be
You came down for me, right outta the heavens
You came down to free me and all of my brethren
I came from the dirt, you still put first
You sat with the worst, and still loved our presence
I'm praying for presence, I'm praying for faith
So I see your face
The one who was and has always been
That Nazereen with darker skin, uh

God you are painting me into grace
O God you are the only being I will praise
