lyrics

The Best in Me

v1
I can't begin to describe
The change you make in my life
You help me take a step back and analyze
And choose a loving response
When, to get even, I want
And to resist temptation to taunt my brother

pc1
And though today I slipped up alright
I'll let you work your change in my mind
As I fold my hands to pray

c1
I really wanted to say
You brought out the best in me today
Every next is better than my
previous phase
My roots are sinking deeper into place
Because of your grace

v2
The way you teach me to share
And help me be self-aware
The wisdom of your methods inspires me
I'll learn to see through your eyes
Realizing I've been so blind
To the results of living Christology

pc2
And honestly I'll be okay
If you use me for something plain
Cuz you make little things so great

c
I really wanted to say
You brought out the best in me today
Every next is better than my
previous phase
My roots are sinking deeper into place
Because of your grace

And I get excited when I think of where I've come from
'cause I believe with all I am that you will make me
pure and then some
Submit, desist, just leave it at the altar
\Breathe in, begin on your love-lit way

Alt Chorus
And you’ll begin to say
He brought out the best in you today
Every next is better than your
previous phase
Your roots are sinking deeper into place
Because of his grace

c
And every day I’ll say
You brought out the best in me today
Every next is better than my
previous phase
My roots are sinking deeper into place
Because of your grace
Because of your grace
Because of your grace
