"It's a Shadow of What I Used to be Before"

Verse:     

Throwing shade on a life that's behind me

Never living on what's found in a memory

Shame-ful...Sha-ken

That's no longer what I see...

In the middle of the night I was set free

Took away what was trying to consume me

In Your sha-dow...

That is where I want to be....

Phantom of my soul

Trying to take control of the man I see

Staring back to me, a reflection of my heart.

Bringing up what's old

When the truth unfolds

It's a Shadow of what I use to be before

Pre-Chorus:

Oh…Oh Mercy mercy me

No longer cryin’, dyin’ like I use to be

Oh…Oh Mercy mercy me

Now I’m changed, and I can’t fight what I’m feelin’

Chorus: 

You won’t find that something

Looking where there’s nothing

Ain’t no sense in fussin’, give it up let Him have it all

If you keep on prayin’, soon you won’t be strayin’

Then you’ll see… A shadow of the man you use to be.

Verse 2:    

In Your breath is the life that I now see

Rising up from the bottom of a Dead Sea

No mistaking You already paid the fee

Now I believe, that you're down and you're real wit it

Can't understand why you died but You still did

You chose to accept me and that’s all that I need toi see…yeah

Pre-Chorus:   

Oh…Oh Mercy mercy me

No longer cryin’, dyin’ like I use to be

Oh…Oh Mercy mercy me

Now I’m changed, and I can’t fight what I’m feelin’

Chorus: 

You won’t find that something

Looking where there’s nothing

Ain’t no sense in fussin’, give it up let Him have it all

If you keep on prayin’, soon you won’t be strayin’

Then you’ll see… A shadow of the man you use to be. (x2)
