Verse #1

Yes, I am a foolish man,
House built on the sand
With no foundation.
And I am a wicked one,
Just a prodigal son
With no man’s wisdom.
And I am a wretched thief
Nailed onto a tree
Begging for a savior

Pre-Chorus #1

So please now, hear my cries
Look into my eyes
And see what is behind the man I appear to be
A man that is suffering and groaning

Chorus #1

For you, God tear me down
Mold me inside out
Make me a strong foundation
So your light, your light will shine right through me.
Oh I am ready to change
To put a new picture in the frame
And I’ll never be the same

Verse #2

And I walk across these pardon seas
And they crash down on me
For I have so little faith
I come to know these earthly things
Like riches of a king
And they should mean so little to me
And I am consumed by fear
Wandering the desert for 40 years

Pre-Chorus #2

So please now, hear my cries
Look into my eyes
And see what is behind the man I appear to be
A man that is suffering and groaning

Chorus #2

For you, God tear me down
Mold me inside out
Make me a strong foundation
So your light, your light will shine right through me.

Oh I am ready to change
To put a new picture in the frame
And I’ll never be the same
(Oh) never be the same
