All About Me

These X-ray eyes can see the heart of her intent
And they can read between the lines and know what she meant
Yet I find these eyes go blind when I look at who I am

But it's all about me
Not somebody else
Help me to see
The truth when I look at myself
If I'm to change
If I'm to break free
It can't be about them
It's all about me

Beyond these sacred walls the world lies in decay
You say we're salt and light but no one lives that way
Three fingers aiming back at me as I try to point the blame

Cause it's all about me
Not somebody else
Help me to see
The truth when I look at myself
If I'm to change
If I'm to break free
It can't be about them
It's all about me
It can't be about them
It's all about me

The only heart that I can change
Is beating in my chest

It's all about me
Not somebody else
Help me to see
The truth when I look at myself
If I'm to change
If I'm to break free
It can't be about them
It's all about me
Not somebody else
Help me to see
The truth when I look at myself
If I'm to change
If I'm to break free
It can't be about them
It's all about me

Have you ever read a self-help book and asked yourself, “Man, I know just who needs to read this?”

How about heard a sermon and thought, “Gosh, I wish Hector would have heard that?” (I assure you, Hector is entirely fictional…the name has been changed to protect the innocent)

Well, if you said “yes” then you’re a lot like me. I’m great at finding fault in other people, but terrible at seeing my own flaws.

This song is the first step in pulling that plank out of my eye and focusing the microscope of the gospel back where it belongs – squarely on my own heart.
