Love Who I Am lyrics

[Intro]
Allison Eide [?]

[Verse 1]
God, I need to see me through Your eyes
I've been so dependent on how I think
They think of me, truth pushed aside
By the opinions I've been harboring

[Chorus]
I wanna love who I am, not though somebody's lens
But through the Author holding the pen
If You wrote my life, please tell me why
I've been struggling to love who I am
To love, to love
To love, to love
I just wanna love who I am
To love, to love
To love, to love

[Verse 2]
I'm failing expectations made in my brain
They're the reason I avoid all the mirrors
Or tears well up, deep in my eyes
'Cause I can't pick a single thing that I like
[Chorus]
I wanna love who I am, not though somebody's lens
But through the Author holding the pen
If You wrote my life, please tell me why
I've been struggling to love who I am
To love, to love
To love, to love (Love, love, love)
I just wanna love who I am (Love, love, love)
To love, to love
To love, to love

[Bridge]
If I'm honest, I want to leave my skin
I'm so exhausting to live in
But pen to paper, You say
That You want me, exactly as I am
So, prove that I'm worthy to love
Even all of the parts I loathe
And I'm allowed to love me whole

[Chorus]
I wanna love who I am, not though somebody's lens
But through the Author holding the pen
If You wrote my life, please tell me why
I've been struggling to love who I am (Oh)
I wanna love who I am, not though somebody's lens
But through the Author holding the pen
If You wrote my life, please tell me why
I've been struggling to love who I am (Oh)
To love, to love
To love, to love (Love, love, love)
And I just wanna love who I am (Love, love, love)
To love, to love
To love, to love
[Outro]
Help me love who I am, not through my own lens
But through Your eyes, and from Your pen
