[Chorus]

They told me my identity is outside in

I'm only good for what I can do for them

Other's said everything is inside out

I get to identify what I'm about

At that very moment, God steps in

God steps in, God steps in

They got it all backwards and upside down

It's all top down, it's all top down

[Verse]

Meaning I am whatever you say I am

And you're a man of your word, you're the great ɪ ᴀᴍ

The designer gets to define what He created for

So I'm not longer an orphan I'm relating more

You see I'm grafted in, despite my sin

Despite my mess, you made me born again

And I got new desires

And the power to obey what is highest

My messiah got me so bias

JP told me aim up

I asked him what to do when you're not

Born with the same luck

He told none of us ever gotta stay stuck

But all of us gotta debt we don't wanna pay up

Christ paid it on the cross

Meaning my identity is received at a cost

And the enemy continues leaching

Trying off, camouflage

Telling me that I'm defined

By every win and every loss

[Chorus]

They told me my identity is outside in

I'm only good for what I can do for them

Other's said everything is inside out

I get to identify what I'm about

At that very moment, God steps in (God)

God steps in (God), God steps in (God)

They got it all backwards and upside down

It's all top down, it's all top down

[Bridge]

You see who think you are changes everything

How you view yourself that's a scary thing

Stories that you tell, fables you believe

Impacts how you act, every single deed

[Interlude]

You know I spent a good chunk of my life

Allowing myself to be defined by what others think I'm worth

The value that others think I bring

And on the other extreme

You have some that will tell you your identity is

Defined by what you feel on the inside

I believe that leaves equally astray

But there's a better way

[Chorus]

They told me my identity is outside in

I'm only good for what I can do for them

Other's said everything is inside out

I get to identify what I'm about

At that very moment, God steps in (God)

God steps in (God), God steps in (God)

They got it all backwards and upside down

It's all top down, it's all top down
