Sierra - Tearing Down The Temple lyrics

rate me

Every time I looked into a mirror on the wall<br />

I began to make a list of every tiny flaw<br />

"Mirror, mirror on the wall<br />

Change the shape I see"<br />

But every time that I went back<br />

I saw the same old me<br />

So I began<br />

Tearing down the temple<br />

That He formed for me<br />

I never stopped to think about<br />

The hurting it would bring<br />

I was tearing down the temple<br />

To meet my selfish need<br />

Trying hard to find a way<br />

To create a perfect me<br />

By tearing down the temple<br />

I carried all the guilt and shame of what I had begun<br />

It frightened me to think about what I might become<br />

I wore a mask of bravery and carried on my scheme<br />

Day by day destroying what God had given me<br />

I was<br />

And even though it hurts me now<br />

To think of how I lived<br />

It serves as a reminder<br />

Of how merciful God is
