My Pride

The Waiting

The day's divided my attention

Like a thousand days before

So as darkness falls around me

I'm in need of something more

For the wretch from the Redeemer

For the sinner from the Son

Who is arrayed in light forever

Who is the only Holy One

His heart has never hardened

His tongue has never lied

He sure has affected my pride



So I've harbored my redemption

And I've gathered my regrets

And I've gathered my regrets

And I've struggled like a debtor

Who's still carrying his debts

I've wandered like an orphan

Down every dirty street

Till I stood before the Man

Who bent down to wash my feet

And then He brought me to His table

A son He never denied

He sure has affected my pride



I used to put You to the test

Used to barrel out my chest

So much bigger than the rest

But now I'm crawling on my face

For a Savior's saving grace

It looks like You've finally put me

Into a place where I realize



It's time we got together

A Father and His son

The day threw dice for my affection

And now You're the only One

Who interprets my condition

Who sees clearly through the wreck

Who saw me crumble 'neath the weight

Of this piece of tin around my neck

A cross I never could've carried

No matter how hard I tried

He sure has affected my pride

Yeah, He sure has affected my pride



The day's divided my attention

Like a thousand days before

So as darkness falls around me

I'm in need of something more
