Portrait Lyrics

Portrait lyrics

You're not who they say you are 
They made you the enemy 
(CHRIST-Jah flesh; CHRIST-Light within; CHRIST- Beginning and the end) 
Taken something so beautiful 
Painted a new picture that makes me sick 
(CHRIST-Witness; CHRIST-Living one; CHRIST-First and the last) 
Feed our minds confusion 
Sweeten the taste of pollution. 
(CHRIST-Word life; CHRIST-Resurrect; CHRIST-Everlasting Jah) 

[chorus:]
Some people call you father 
Maybe you could set me free 
These people hate each other 
But you've always been there for me 

I refuse to be like you 
Without life, caving in 
(CHRIST-Jah flesh; CHRIST-Light within; CHRIST- Beginning and the end) 
I surrender, giving up all that is me 
Yielding to you 
(CHRIST-Witness; CHRIST-Living one; CHRIST-First and the last) 
Shape me in my brokeness 
Empower me forever 
(CHRIST-Word life; CHRIST-Resurrect; CHRIST-Everlasting Jah) 

[chorus]

[outro:]
I know you will complete this work started in me 
I need you more than ever now that I know who you are 
I know you will complete this work started in me 
I need you more than ever now that I've come so far
