Begin With Me
Point of Grace's song "Begin With Me" is a prayer for personal transformation and humility. The lyrics acknowledge the human tendency to judge others while ignoring our own faults, and they ask God to start a change within the singer first. The chorus pleads for God to turn the singer's world upside down, renew their mind, and make them more like Jesus. The song emphasizes self-examination and the desire to be a better example, rather than pointing fingers at others. It is a gentle call for personal revival and surrender to God's refining work.
Lord I know sometimes you look down and shake your head,
When we know what we should do, and do the other thing instead.
We're livin in glass houses and we're throwin sticks and stones,
But the love that will come to us is the love that we have shown.
Ignite a fire in my spirit,
And when I wanna make a difference this will be my prayer.
[Chorus]
Begin with me,
Turn my world upside down,
Come change my heart around,
Lord keep on washin me clean again.
Begin with me,
Come and renew my mind,
And lead me to the light,
Till I am more like you Jesus.
Have you ever noticed that we love to give advice,
We offer up suggestions without thinkin twice.
Got twenty-twenty vision when we're watchin someone else,
But it's a little blurry when we're lookin at ourselves.
I can't forget to check the mirror,
that's when I'll find the only one that he wants me to change.
[Chorus x5]
