I’m fiercely independent but I’m falling on my knees
Totally self-sufficient realizing all my need
Can’t comprehend this contradiction that’s become a part of me but I believe
Don’t understand but I believe
(Verse 1)
Is this meekness my weakness or my strength?
My soul flies high but shackles drag me down
Is this burden a blessing or a curse?
I smile and don this painful thorny crown
(Chorus)
I’m fiercely independent but I’m falling on my knees
Totally self-sufficient realizing all my need
Can’t comprehend this contradiction that’s become a part of me but I believe
Don’t understand but I believe
(Verse 2)
My rationale leaves me reaching for a rational reaction
My paradigm profusely poses problems for my passions
My feelings fault futility in fascinating fashion
My logic leaves me longing for a life less these distractions
(Chorus)
You made me—You saved me—You loved me, and Lord, I need you!
Crucified creation daily death that I might live
To live is Christ to die for me is gain
But now I’m pressing onward though I’ve nothing left to give
Rejoicing in my suffering and growing through my pain
