Lyrics

J

[Verse 1]

I see hatred in your face

The fierce look you wear has killed my confidence

I have made many mistakes

I carry a heart an open wound my love

But forgiveness is king my friend

And grudge is not a fruit of the spirit

Therefore I come to you as I am

Naked as I am, I found the truth

[Hook]

As the moon pulls the ocean

So the Earth pulls the moon

In the same way I am what I am

Cause your existence defines my being

As my weakness is my strength

So my tear they find happiness

In the same way I know that your hate reflects boundless love

(Yeah, boundless love oh)

[Verse 1]

The world doesn't stop

(doesn't stop)

When we command it to

Our righteousness is strong I learn to love you yea

Everything isn't what it seems to be

Now we wanna run we wanna go fast

As my soul was within sin

My feet could stand on solid ground

Cause I know

[Hook]

The moon pulls the ocean

So the earth pulls the moon

In the same way I am what I am

Cause your existence defines my being

As my weakness is my strength

So my tears they find happiness

In the same way I know that your hate

Reflects boundless Love

[Bridge]

I'm getting rid of the jee jinx that you gave

Getting hold of all the things I deserve

I'm letting go of all of the lies that you told

I'm getting rid of all the things that you've said

I'm getting rid of the jee jinx that you gave

I'm getting hold of all the things I deserve

I'm letting go of all the lies that you told

My confession for you to own

Ooh as the earth now earth pulls the moon

Same way I that I am

Cause your existence defines my being

As my weakness is my strength

So my tears they find happiness

In the same way I know that your hate reflects boundless love

As the moon pulls the ocean

(reflects boundless love)

In the same way I am what I am

(reflects boundless love)

As my weakness is my strength

In the same way I know that your hate reflects boundless love
