Kind To Myself

I've tried to hate myself

Thinking that's how things will change

But it never helps, piling up the blame

Fighting fire with fire, hurt with more hurt

Breaking my own heart makes everything worse

I gotta be kind, kind to myself

'Cause I can't change, change any way else

If the kindness of my Savior is how He changes me

Then I can be kind, kind to myself

I know it sounds insane

But the old way wasn't working

I try to medicate

When the pain's under the surface

I've never healed by powering through

I had to learn how to see me the way that You do

I gotta be kind, kind to myself

'Cause I can't change, change any way else

If the kindness of my Savior is how He changes me

Then I can be kind, kind to myself

Hey (kind), don't misunderstand, it's not permission (kind)

It's conviction over condemnation (kind)

Oh, the curious love of God (kind)

It's such a better and sweeter song (kind)

It has a way of showing me what's really going on, going on, yeah

What does the voice in your head sound like

When you fail for the thousandth time?

Is it cruel or is it kind?

Oh, I gotta be kind, kind to myself

'Cause I can't change, change any way else

If the kindness of my Savior is how He changes me

I can be kind, kind to myself

I can be kind, kind to myself

I can be kind, kind to myself
