about

Sometimes, you're doing your own thing, living for yourself, and everything is going well. If I head down that road for too long, I get to a point where I start to feel numb to everyone and everything around me, yet I don't feel remorse at that point. When I realize that I haven't been living for Jesus, that I haven't been living the way in which God designed me to live, and that what I've been living for is meaningless, then I start to have remorse for what I've been doing, and I repent and turn back to God. This song is a plea for God to make me more like the nature of Christ in me and less like my own sinful nature.

lyrics

Dew drops of sadness
Ever so gently trickle down your face
The clouds are heavy
With sympathetic tears so full of grace
The stars seem to sink lower
A million eyes are watching yours
They know your heart is
So much heavier than before
The cure is not within you
Look up and give yourself to His warm embrace

Lord, make me more like
More like You and less like myself

My motivation
Sinking like all my high and lofty ideals
My calloused heart beats
Just to remind me that I'm barely alive
This paralyzing numbness
It's like my heart and head eloped
Curled up together
Under a blanket of false hope
Take the faint glowing embers
Reforge the fire that gives true warmth to the soul

Lord, make me more like
More like You and less like myself

And with a drunkard's inhibition I stumble out the door
I take the cup You gave me, pour the contents on the floor
I fill it up with all my plans, my dreams, my glory's store
It never satisfies, so why do I come back for more?
It never satisfies, so why do I come back for more?

Great heights I've fallen
I'm a man on the moon with star-scraped hands
Now with repentance
Your grace like gravity will pull me back
