Song link -- I'm not the man

I’m not the man                                              

C                        Gm        F                     C

I guess I learned early on how to stay protected

build a wall around myself let nobody through   

by the gift and debt of love      remain unaffected

thank God for the loneliness               that leads to You

C                        Gm                    F                     C

low desires and deep regrets   in a constant turning

my mistress was the world   she proved to be untrue

through corruption and deceit  I saw Your pure flame burning

thank God for the sinfulness      that leads to You                           

Chorus:

Gm              F            C                                                     Gm

I’m not the man that I used to be (1)  since You gave Your love to me

 (2) since You shed Your grace on me

F                             C                       

I don’t know who I am

Gm              F            C                                            Gm

(1) Finding myself is the mystery   take what You require of me

(2) Finding myself is my destiny

F                     C

show me who I am         

C                       Gm          F                                       C

take what Your require of me          show me who I am   (repeat at the end)

C                        Gm                F                              C

living in Your aftermath          feel like a dead man walking

burned in the fires of love     all I thought was true

through the ashes and the grief   I hear Your true calling

thank God for the hurt and ruin    that leads to You

   I'm not the man
