Selfishness Retires

I think of all the wrongs I've done, how they've harmed not just myself but the ones I love Choices that cannot be undone I think of what's been done to me, how other's selfishness has changed the way I see Sometimes the way I feel I can't carry on living by desires, no, no, I can't just carry on It's time my selfishness retires, my selfishness retires I think upon religious law, how human retribution fails cause we're all flawed. Justice belongs to God I think about obedience, how boundaries keep us safe, oh, what if we believed? That's what surrender is I can't carry on living by desires, no, no, I can't just carry on My selfishness retires, my selfishness retires Here I lay my selfishness aside, lay down my wretched pride Make way for the creator to be right, I let my mission die, let my mission die Here I take submission up in stride, it's here my glory lies Make way for the creator to be right, and he restores my life, he restores my life I can't carry on living by desires, no, I won't just carry on. My selfishness retires, my selfishness retires Here I lay my selfishness aside
