Текст песни
Picking myself apart
Saying things that I would never say or do
Persecute my closest friends, lie 'bout when I do
Crowd around the crowd to watch kids get kicked and bruised
I pretend like I am brave, surely I am not
I am a mantis, I have been caught
But I received mercy for this reason
That in me as the foremost
In me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might
Display His perfect patience and His kindness
His love that mends the broken
And teaches me that I'm not past forgiveness
Speaking words of truth
Mending bones that I could never mend myself
Breathing life into my lungs, showing me the way
Patiently my teacher, teaching to obey
Guiding me upon still waters, trusting in His way
It's easier said than done, but power's in His name
I received mercy for this reason
That in me as the foremost
In me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might
Display His perfect patience and His kindness
His love that mends the broken
And teaches me that I'm not past forgiveness
That I'm not past forgiveness
