13 BECOMING

V6

[Intro] I’m not who I was I’m not yet what I’ll be But look what grace Is doing to me [Verse 1] Before I ever knew Your name Your mercy knew mine Before I brought You anything You had already drawn the line Chosen, redeemed, and sealed Before I learned to stand You didn’t wait for who I’d become You loved the unfinished man [Pre-Chorus] So I’m done measuring the distance By how far I have to go I’m gonna look back once in a while And see how far You brought me home [Chorus] I am becoming I am becoming Not who I was Not yet what I’ll be But every chain that hits the ground Is proof You’re changing me I am becoming And I’m not walking back Grace behind me Glory up ahead And Jesus in every step I am becoming Who I already am [Verse 2] I’ve stood outside the doorway And heard the liar call I’ve crossed a few thresholds And heard him change his tone But conviction called me by my name When shame said I was done I learned the voice that leads me home Always points me toward the Son [Pre-Chorus] Temptation can come knocking It doesn’t get a key I don’t have to feed tomorrow What Christ has starved in me [Chorus] I am becoming I am becoming Not who I was Not yet what I’ll be But every chain that hits the ground Is proof You’re changing me I am becoming And I’m not walking back Grace behind me Glory up ahead And Jesus in every step I am becoming Who I already am [Verse 3] I’m still a saint who sometimes sins Still learning how to fight Still finding rooms inside my heart That need a little light But failure doesn’t name me And pride won’t wear my crown What Jesus bought belongs to me I’m done trying to earn it now [Breakdown] Penalty? PAID! Power? BREAKING! Presence? GONE! Chosen! REDEEMED! Sealed! I BELONG! [Verse 4] There’s coming up a morning When becoming reaches home When every trace of sin is gone And every war is done No tempter at the doorway No prosecutor in my head No distance left between the man You named and who I am So until then keep shaping Keep cutting what must fall I’d rather be unfinished in Your hands Than finished without You at all [Final Chorus] I AM BECOMING! I AM BECOMING! Not who I was And praise God, that man is gone Not yet what I’ll be But You have never stopped working on me I AM BECOMING! And I’m not walking back Grace behind me Glory up ahead And Jesus in every step Chosen before me Redeemed completely Sealed forever Still becoming Penalty paid Power breaking Presence gone Still becoming [Final Lift] Before me! You knew me! At the door! You called me! When I fell! You found me! When shame spoke! You drowned it! What You started You will finish What You promised You will do I am becoming Because I belong to You [Outro] Not finished Not condemned Not going back I am becoming Who I already AM!
