I used to think my weakness
Was something I should hide
I used to see my value
Through other people's eyes
I used to think my failures
Were how I'd be defined
It took some time to break through
The lies the I believed
But you showed me my Savior
Was never really me
You've always gone before me
And you are with me now
You've never let me down
So put me in the fight
That I know I can't win
And lead me to the place
Where surrender never ends
Jesus, I don't want the glory
I've got nothing left to prove
'Cause the hero of my story
Has always been you
I used to think salvation
Was based upon my works
I though that my acceptance
Was something i had to earn
But now I have assurance
No, I am not afraid
You already made a way
So put me in the fight
That I know I can't win
And lead me to the place
Where surrender never ends
Jesus, I don't want the glory
I've got nothing left to prove
'Cause the hero of my story
Has always been you
Yeah, the hero of my story
Has always been you
It's always been you
It's always been you
Every detail of my story
God, I know this is true
It's always been you
Oh, It's always been you
Every moment of my journey
God, you carry me through
It's always been you
Oh, it's always been you
Every detail of my story
God, I know this is true
It's always been you
Oh, It's always been you
Every moment of my journey
God, you carry me through
It's always been you
Oh, it's always been you
Every detail of my story
God, I know this is true
It's always been you
Oh, It's always been you
Every moment of my journey
God, you carry me through
It's always been you
Oh, it's always been you
Every detail of my story
God, I know this is true
It's always been you
Oh, It's always been you
Every moment of my journey
God, it's always been you
