[VERSE 1]
Bbmaj7                   Dm        C6               Bbmaj7
  You know where I’ve been ‘cause You were there as well  
                   Dm   C6        Bbmaj7
You know who I’ll be before I get there 
                      Dm    C6               Bbmaj7
You know what’s hidden, the shame behind the veil 
                    Dm            C6     Bbmaj7            
You know the real me when I don’t know myself 

[CHORUS 1]
Bbmaj7
  I’ve tried, I’ve tried 
   Dm             C 
To be the way the world would want me 
Bbmaj7
  It’s time, it’s time 
      Dm                  C
To believe the words You wrote about me 
Gm              Bbmaj7     F                C
I won’t live my life for appearance sake or masquerades 
    Bbmaj7
You made me to be me 
   Dm              C6    Bbmaj7    Dm    C6
So I’ll live honestly 

[VERSE 2]
Bbmaj7                 Dm   C6            Bbmaj7
    I know You’re making me new day after day 
               Dm               C6      Bbmaj7
Heavenly Father, Your truth will set me free 
                   Dm    C6            Bbmaj7
I know there’s power in every word You say 
                       Dm             C6             
So fear will not hold me and guilt is not my name 

[CHORUS 2]
Bbmaj7
  I’ve tried, I’ve tried 
   Dm             C 
To be the way the world would want me 
Bbmaj7
  It’s time, it’s time 

      Dm                  C
To believe the words You wrote about me 
Gm              Bbmaj7     F                C
I won’t live my life for appearance sake or masquerades 
    Bbmaj7
You made me to be me 
   Dm              C6    Bbmaj7    Dm    C6 
So I’ll live honestly

Give You my secrets, You already know them

You love me regardless, You love me as I am 
Bbmaj7  
I’ll give my life, won’t let it be stolen

Bring You my worship, leave no words unspoken
