When a man dies unto himself,
it's not a spiritual suicide,
but to live only for Christ.
He's the one whom I must abide.
I can no longer look unto myself,
or be concerned for my own.
I must look to the one who leads
and not to the road He leads me on.
If I treasure the things of this world,
I'll be missed from knowing what is true.
If I look at anything but You,
all I'll see is a distorted view.
So many times I seek impurities,
chase after things I can't get,
lose sight of my priorities,
forget everything I've been taught.
I wonder where you are.
Why do you seem so far away?
Could it be I kick you out when you try to come my way?
Maybe it's time for fear and trembling.
Maybe it's time to question myself.
