I’m the Problem

[Intro]
You see your primary issue / your primary problem isn't that there are people / isn't that there are advertisements / isn't that there are systems out there that are making you sin / no the problem is you /

[Verse 1: Timothy Brindle]
Instead of making excuses and blaming when you sin / face it the truth is say (I'm the problem) / my heart's sick as a leper / my biggest dilemma's my sin in the center of me (I'm the problem) / yo I'm stubborn and stiff-necked / loving what's wicked / the Judge I don't respect cause (I'm the problem) / and it isn't our spouses / though kids are a challenge / their sinning is countless but (I'm the problem) / it can't be solved by modern psychology / and no our problem is not the economy / or stopping the poverty / it's that often we wanna be God in our awful autonomy / it's not my health / or my loss of wealth / but rather that my favorite god is self / my problem's me and my idolatry / and my folly to not see Christ as all I need /

[Hook]
My biggest problem's / not thinking I'm the biggest problem / we do this thing so often / the heart of the matter is my heart is the matter / God's image in me is marred and it's shattered / (X2)

[Sample]
The sin inside of me is the worst of all diseases /

[Verse 2: Timothy Brindle]
Totally jacked up through and through / yo and it's wack cause I'm just doing what humans do / truthfully at the root of you / is a ruined dude / in deep need of One who's able to renew / my biggest problem is these wretched cravings and passions and pleasures that detest the great King / is our deepest need education? / or that our whole soul needs complete restoration? / my biggest problem isn't this traffic jam / but anger at God and how I lash at man / you say we have innocence / but our biggest problem isn't even being sinned against / but how I respond to their sin / cause how I long for revenge / shows I'm just as awful as them / my problem's my pride / I can't see clearly / hold up yo / I got this log in my eye /

[Hook] (X1)

[Bridge 1]
Instead of pride that leaves you bitter / say oh God / be merciful to me a sinner / but once I surrender with my hands up / and say (I'm the problem) then I'm ready for the answer /

[Sample]
What's the answer? / Christ crucified (X2) /

[Verse 3: Shai Linne]
If I'm the problem / Christ is the solution / praise be to God for His priceless substitution / the mountain is steep indeed / we can't climb it / but God decided to meet our deepest need / we like to dance around the truth like Alvin Ailey / but God gets down to the roots like Alex Haley / I'm looking outside of myself externally / when all the while the fire of hell is burning in me / sin's grievous and heinous / deceives us and taints us / it leaves us in pain with / lesions / abrasions / Jesus is famous / for bleeding with anguish / so we can be stainless / with no need to blame-shift / in sincerity whenever we're in error / it's imperative we remember the sin-Bearer / so if it hurts when you see you're your worst enemy / look to the perfect Remedy who took your curse and penalty /

[Hook] (X1)

[Bridge 2]
But by faith Christ restored our position / we're justified which means we're more than forgiven / and now Jesus restores our condition / transforming us till conformed in His image /

[Sample]
What's the answer? / Christ crucified (X2) /

[Outro]
Whether you want to accept or believe that or not / you need a heart transplant you see / that is the root of the problem / we can't do anything with the old man / he must be slayed / do you believe that? / the issue is with your heart / and unless you come to Jesus Christ and have new life / that none of your efforts will matter a hill of beans / that you cannot please God in and of yourself /
