Like this:

I was sinking so rapidly inside myself

I’d given up hope, thrown God’s Word to the shelf

I was doing my thing and living my way

Portraying a picture that I had true joy

But if you saw in my heart the truth would betray

Inside there’s this pain that will not go away

So I search every aisle of the world’s largest store

I knock and kick down every single door

I know I will find it, I know it is here

Somewhere there’s a shelter from all of my fears

Why can’t I find true satisfaction?

I’m sick of temporary distractions

Cuz every time in the end

I realize it’s all just pretend

And I’m sick of your lies

Someone be real, take off your disguise

I was sinking so rapidly inside myself

Hopeless and hurting, I returned to my shelf

I picked up the book filled with things Jesus had said

I began reading all the words written in red

And there on those pages I found something new

A message so plain saying, “I DIED FOR YOU”

It wasn’t a lie it was clearly so true

Finally a message that wasn’t a fake

Finally a choice that’s not a mistake

And there in that corner of my messy room

I left my disguise and burned my costume

And knelt down in prayer letting go of my ways

And letting God come in

And change my heart within

Every single desire

Every single dream

I let it all fall away

My life changed forever that day
