Lyrics

I tried to build my own kingdom,
But the walls came crashing down.
Chasing dreams that couldn’t save me,
Till Your mercy turned me ‘round.
Now I’m done with empty glory,
Done with trying to be enough —
You broke the chains of my story,
And filled my heart with love.
Every crown I lay it down,
Every fear You cast it out.
I die to self, so You can live in me,
Less of me, more of Your glory to see.
Take my pride, take my plans,
Let them fall like rain from my hands.
All I want, all I need,
Is to rise again when I fall at Your feet —
I die to self…
So Christ can live in me.
This world keeps shouting louder,
“Hold your crown, don’t let it go.”
But I found freedom’s power,
When I gave You full control.
Now my strength is in surrender,
My victory’s on the cross —
I’m alive in the wonder,
Of what the world calls loss.
Let my heart be Your reflection,
Burn away my own direction.
I die to self, so You can live in me,
Less of me, more of Your glory to see.
Take my pride, take my plans,
Let them fall like rain from my hands.
All I want, all I need,
Is to rise again when I fall at Your feet —
I die to self…
So Christ can live in me.
It’s not my breath — it’s Yours inside,
Not my fame — but Your light.
When I’m weak — then I’m strong,
‘Cause Your grace is where I belong.
(Soft build — then final chorus explodes)
I die to self, and I’m finally free,
Your resurrection life is rising in me.
Every crown, every plan,
I lay it down in nail-scarred hands.
All I want, all I need,
Is to rise again when I fall at Your feet —
I die to self…
So Christ can live in me.
