p.o.d. - 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
