Enemy

Used to think you didn’t care
Was just a pawn in the game you were playin’
Puttin’ walls up everywhere
Never thought you heard a word I was prayin'
I stood in the way
When I needed to run to you
But I was too proud to say
Take away the blindness
Lead me through the dark
Don’t let me fall apart
Save me from my bitterness
Show me who I am
Make me who you want me to be
I know I pushed you away
Lookin’ for someone to blame
Now I can see I’ve been my own worst enemy
Now I can see I’ve been my own worst enemy
Who was I to sit and judge
Always pointing my crooked finger
Holdin’ tight onto a grudge
All along I was the chief of sinners
I stood in the way
When I needed to run to you
Lord, I was too proud to say
No you never gave up on me
(No you made a lamp unto my feet)
No you never gave up on me
