My Pride Songtext
von The Waiting

The day′s divided my attention
Like a thousand days before
So as darkness falls around me
I'm in need of something more
For the wretch from the Redeemer

For the sinner from the Son
Who′s arrayed in light forever
Who is the only Holy One

His heart is never hardened
His tongue has never lied
He sure has affected my pride

So I've bartered my redemption
And I've gathered my regrets
I′ve struggled like a debtor
Who′s still carrying his debts


I've wandered like an orphan
Been down every dirty street
′Til I stood before the Man
Who bent down to wash my feet
Then He brought me to His table
A son He'd never denied
He sure has affected my pride

I used to put You to the test
Used to barrel out my chest
So much bigger than the rest
But now I′m crawling on my face
For a Savior's saving grace
It looks like You′ve finally put me
Into a place where I realize

It's time we got together

A Father and His son
That they threw dice for my affection
And now You're the only One
Who interprets my condition
Sees clearly through the wreck
Who saw me crumble ′neath the weight
Of this piece of tin around my neck
A cross I never could have carried
No matter how hard I tried
He sure has affected my pride

Yeah, He sure has affected my pride


The day′s divided my attention
Like a thousand days before
So as darkness falls around me
I'm in need of something more
