Who I’m Becoming Lyrics

I asked You for a way out
I asked You for relief
I asked You for another road
I couldn’t see

But the answer didn’t come in words
It came in staying still
Learning how to breathe right here
Against my will

I didn’t get what I wanted
But You were close

Maybe it’s not what I get
For what I’m walking through
Maybe it’s who I’m becoming
Here with You

I wouldn’t choose this fire
I wouldn’t call it kind
But You are shaping something
In my life

I thought faith would feel like knowing
How this would end
But it feels more like standing
Without defense

Every loss is taking something
I thought I needed
Every tear is making room
For what You’re breathing

You never promised easy
You promised You would stay

Maybe it’s not what I get
For what I’m walking through
Maybe it’s who I’m becoming
Trusting You

I wouldn’t choose this fire
But I can see it now
You’re not wasting any moment
Here and now

I’m not leaving empty
I’m not the same
I didn’t lose my life in this
I learned to remain

Maybe it’s not what I get
For what I’ve been through
Maybe it’s who I’m becoming
Holding You

I wouldn’t choose this fire
But I can finally say
You were forming something holy
In the wait

I’m becoming
I’m becoming
