[black female vocalist with backing] [ad lib vocal riff] [Verse 1] I was walking with a veil across my eyes Chasing shadows, believing my own lies I planted seeds of sorrow in the ground And wondered why the thorns were all around I blamed the heavens for the pain I felt inside But it was just the harvest of where I chose to hide Left to my own way, I was fading fast A prisoner of a self-inflicted past [Chorus] But now I stand with open face Beholding as in a glass Your grace Change me, Lord, into the image I see Reflecting the glory of Your majesty From glory to glory, take me through Until the only thing seen in me is You Change me, oh Lord, change me [Verse 2] I used to think You waited with a stone To strike me down for all the wrong I'd known But when the veil was lifted, I saw the truth You were the giver of life, restoring my youth You didn't turn away, You didn't cast the stone You offered me a life I’d never known The death I tasted was the fruit of my own sin But Your love was waiting to let the light back in [Chorus] So here I stand with open face Beholding as in a glass Your grace Change me, Lord, into the image I see Reflecting the glory of Your majesty From glory to glory, take me through Until the only thing seen in me is You Change me, oh Lord, change me [Bridge] It’s by the Spirit of the Lord I am being restored Not by might and not by power But by Your mercy every hour I’m looking at You, and the old fades away I’m becoming like You more every day [Verse 3] Now the mirror shows a different face A sinner saved, transformed by saving grace No longer bound by what I used to be Your Spirit is the life inside of me I’ll keep my eyes fixed on the Mercy Seat Until the work You started is complete [Chorus] I stand with open face Beholding as in a glass Your grace Change me, Lord, into the image I see Reflecting the glory of Your majesty From glory to glory, take me through Until the only thing seen in me is You Change me, oh Lord, change me [Outro] Even as by the Spirit of the Lord From glory to glory Change me Just change me
