Cerca Pero Lejos

I approach and at the same time I move away
I look at myself in the mirror and wonder
How do I handle this life?
You have been good God, I don't complain
It's me when I look for you
I turn to you and then leave

This is complex
I know seeking you is a requirement
But I almost always repeat ignoring you
I know you are God
It's me who needs you
The fault is not yours, it's mine
I admit it, yeah

I always call you and you come to the rescue
You pull me out of the hole and don't allow me to make a mess
I can't escape from your love no matter how hard I try
But in my mind I have a conflicting thought, yeah

I am not worthy of your love
Nor your favor
But without you, my days have no color
Lord, you are the Sun of my days
You are the only one who can take away my pain

But I go back to the same when I thought I got the hang of it
I go back and distance myself because of my selfishness, ah
Make me return to your arms
It's the only place where I never disguise myself

Uuh, Jesus
Come and change my inner self
Change everything I am

Uuh, Jesus
Come and change my inner self
Yeah, yeah

Forgive me for all the times I said I love you
But didn't show it with my actions
I know we hardly talk anymore
Forgive me because in bad times I only call on you
And when I'm in the middle of a problem is when I call you

And forgive me for keeping the Bible in the drawer
And only using it when things get tough
Forgive me if I only pray to seek a benefit
Forgive me if I no longer know how to value your sacrifice

And forgive me if I have your word as an ornament
Knowing that it's the only thing that changes my surroundings
Forgive me if I only call you when I'm in trouble
You have given me so much undeservedly that I am ashamed, God

And I ask you to forgive me for being so inconsistent
For seeking you for short moments and not doing it more often
Some days I give everything, but then it doesn't feel the same
But here I am, Lord, wanting to be transparent to you

And I need you to help me
And I know you need my heart to never doubt you
But here I come back because my soul always turns to you
Lord, far from you, you know I could never

Uuh, Jesus
Come and change my inner self
Change everything I am

Uuh, Jesus
Come and change my inner self
Lord

Change my heart, Jesus
Come and cleanse me, Lord
My God
My God
Jesus
