This lyric is a different kind of song in some senses. The more I lose the more I seem to gain in essence of what life is really meant to be. My promise land looks a whole lot different than what I've been taught in the church. This song may not be that well received in church circles...I hope they can find my heart in the lyric. :)
Looking for Yourself
I’m losing more all the time
What I thought should have been in my possession
My promiseland looks different than I ever imagined
Somehow it feels right and I know I’ll be alright
Chorus;
Strip me bare
Till all that is left is what You started out with
Cause I have to believe that all that I’ve added
Just can’t be the real part of who You’ve made me to begin with
I say all I want is You
But when it comes to the breaking I begin to question
Oh I’m slowly learning that this is as much love
As the blessing that I’ve heard about all my life
Bridge
All that’s gonna matter in the end
Is not what I’ve done, what I’ve said
It’s who I’ve been all along
You’re looking for Yourself in me
Chorus
No I don’t believe I’ve been cursed
Simply cause I don’t have material things
Somehow I’m more blessed
Than I’ve ever been in my life
Material things will fade and whither
But You will remain when those things fall to the wayside
