Alive - Rebecca St. James Lyrics
I always wanted to be free
'Til I was bound and then
I always wanted my own way
'Til I saw that I find my life when
I lose it
You make me come alive
You make me come alive
I found the secret
It's only when I let go of what I want in this life
You make me come alive
I used to think that me, myself and I were all that mattered
But You've shown me all this world can give
Cannot compare to the joy that comes from
Giving away
And as I follow after You
Now I need to
Leave my past, myself behind
This I will do
I always wanted to be free
'Til I was bound and then
I always wanted my own way
'Til I saw You
'Til I saw You
Since my month-long trip to L'Abri, a study center in the Swiss Alps, there has been a sense of renewal in both my heart and in my ministry. This song represents a new season of life for me.
"Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self." Matt. 16:25
