Verse 1 I spent my nights counting every failure Tracing every crack in my soul Calling my weakness by its first name Wondering why it won’t let go The more I stared at the shadow The bigger it seemed to grow I tried to fight it in my own strength But I was only feeding what I know Pre-Chorus I learned the hard way You become what you behold Chorus So I’m lifting my eyes to Jesus Turning my face to the cross Where my shame was already answered And my sin already lost If He says it’s finished, I believe it I won’t carry what He chose to bear Where my eyes go, my heart follows And my heart is finding freedom there Verse 2 I kept rehearsing every accusation Every lie I thought was mine But Heaven never called me broken You called me redeemed in time I’m not defined by what I struggle with Or the weight of yesterday You took my sin into the grave And You didn’t bring it back my way Pre-Chorus What I fix my gaze upon Is shaping who I am Chorus So I’m lifting my eyes to Jesus Turning my face to the cross Where my shame was already answered And my sin already lost If He says it’s finished, I believe it I won’t carry what He chose to bear Where my eyes go, my heart follows And my heart is finding freedom there Bridge I don’t fight for victory I stand inside Your win The moment I remember who You are Is the moment I forget my sin It’s not denial, it’s surrender It’s trusting what You’ve done You didn’t die so I’d stay focused On what’s already overcome Chorus (Final) So I’m lifting my eyes to Jesus Letting His mercy speak What was nailed to the cross with Him Is no longer part of me If He says I’m righteous, I’ll receive it If He says I’m clean, I am Where my eyes go, my heart follows And my heart is in His hands Tag / Outro I look to You And I remember who I am
