According to God

[Intro: Joseph]

[Verse 1: Braille]

I'm a believer

Sometimes I believe the lies of the deceiver

The lies are seeds, when they sprout

They lead to seasons of spiritual amnesia

Deep seeded self doubt

That creeps in my conscious feeds my fear

And keeps me up at night conquered by

Critical thoughts my mind is prone to conjure

When it wanders, watching my failures

Play back, play back, on repeat

I'm trying to change the chain of events

But can't rewind or find the delete

Button to push, I'm on the edge

It's like the world is about to end

I'm in the middle of Armageddon

With no arms, no weapons, no armor for protection

It's the testing of my faith

And I know the answers but instead I'm just guessing

Like I forgot that God was my father

And I was set apart for His own possession

His Word is my armor and my protection

Against the enemy's deception but I still question

How could I receive such an incredible blessing

When I feel like I'm less than

Because I went through a divorce, am I

A second rate Christian? I know that's a lie

So I won't listen, through Christ I'm forgiven

I'm being formed into his image

According to God I was called from darkness

Into his marvelous light

He is near to the broken hearted

And faithful to finish what he started

[Chorus: Joseph]

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

[Verse 2: Odd Thomas]

As a child I struggled to identify

Most of my misplaced anger and rage

Dealing with a whole of emotional consequences

Based on the way I was raised

The feeling for affection and affirmation

Adjusted performance to get attention and gain

Some sort of acceptance but found

I was always rejected and pushed away

Deep scars, feelings of not belonging

Caused tall emotional walls

And any attempt to recover from the loss

Of my confidence was incredibly small

The residual effects of abandonment

Had me observing my character flaws

And viewing them all as insufficiently

Capable of relating or growing with God

I believed these lies to be true for me

My experience was the proof for me

Up to the point where I could sense Christ's

Relentless love and complete pursuit of me

And spoke to me offering me hope and life

Through His word showing me His beauty

Changing my perception and giving me

Perspective of the way that God truly viewed me

A man who was prized and pardoned

And chosen before the world's foundation

His own possession, His royal priesthood

I'm part of His holy nation

I'm his friend, I'm valued completely cared for

Enough for Christ to purchase

According to God I'm an adopted child

With intimate access created with purpose

[Chorus: Joseph]

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?
