  • I've been doing all that I can
    To hold it all together
    Piece by piece
    I've been feeling like a failure
    Trying to be braver
    Than I could ever be
    It's just not me

    So be my healer, be my comfort, be my peace
    'Cause I can be broken, I can be needy
    Lord, I need You now to be
    Be my God, so I can just be me

    I've been living like an orphan
    Trying to belong here
    But it's just not my home
    I've been holding on so tightly
    To all the things that I think
    Could satisfy my soul
    But I'm letting go

    So be my father, my mighty warrior, be my king
    'Cause I can be scattered, frail and shattered
    Lord, I need You now to be
    Be my God, so I can just be me

    'Cause I was lost in this dark world
    'Til I was finally found in You
    So now I'm needing, desperately pleading
    Oh Lord, be all to me

    And be my savior, be my lifeline, won't You be my everything
    'Cause I'm so tired of trying to be someone
    I was never meant to be
    Be my God
    Please be my God
    Be my God
    So I can just be me
    So I can just be me
    I can just be me Writer/s: Jason Ingram, Laura Story
