“leaven of the stage” lyrics

Verse 1
I did my way, but it led me straight to hell
I asked for faith, but I really wanted wealth
I used your Name, to bring myself applause
I was dead inside, they couldn’t tell at all

Verse 2
Wow, look at me, I thought I earned it all
All I really had was a crowd to watch me fall
All I ever really wanted was Your love
When did I decide that it was not enough?

Chorus 1
Jesus, I’m sorry for the way I steal from You
I never meant to hurt, I’m just deceived and so confused
Jesus, I’m sorry for my selfishness and lies
Have mercy on my sin, and heal the sickness of my pride

Verse 3
I used to say, "Lord, You are all I need."
But the leaven of the stage spread like disease!
Oh, I went to war, but I didn’t count the cost
On earth, I’d won, but perhaps I really lost

Verse 4
I never thought I could be this far from home
I even thought I could fix it on my own.
Did I run too far?
Oh, hear my cry for help!
Forgive me, God!
I’m exhausted with myself

Chorus 2
Jesus, I’m sorry for the way I steal from You
I never meant to hurt, I’m just deceived and so confused
Jesus, I’m sorry for my selfishness and lies
Have mercy on my sin, and heal the sickness of my pride

Bridge 1
'Cause You rise when I fall!
When I’m weak You are strong!
You be big, I’ll be small!
It’s what I wanted all along!
So take all that’s left
Pull this crown off my head!
This is all that I need
On my face here at Your feet

Chorus 3
Jesus, I’m sorry for the way I steal from You
I never meant to hurt, I’m just deceived and so confused
Jesus, I’m sorry for my selfishness and lies
Have mercy on my sin, and heal the sickness of my pride
