{Songs to Sing}: Pride (Won't Get Us Where We're Going)

Pride (Won't Get Us Where We're Going)
by Thad Cockrell

See me by the river
Praying Lord restore
Cuz it's hard to let go of the things I think I need

When i lose my vision
May i use your eyes
To see just where it is I need to be

Oh pride won't get us where we're going
It's made a life of standing in the way
Of all the beauty this world has worth knowing
Oh pride won't get us where we're going
Oh pride won't get us where we're going

Truth will keep on shining
Like a morning sun
Brighter than troubled winds can blow

If you lose your vision
You can use my eyes
To see just where it is you need to go

Oh pride won't get us where we're going
It's made a life of standing in the way
Of all the beauty this world has worth knowing
Oh pride won't get us where we're going
Oh pride won't get us where we're going

And oh we're finally free
To know the gravity
Of we can overcome
We can overcome
We can overcome
We can overcome

Oh pride won't get us where we're going
It's made a life of standing in the way
Of all the beauty this world has worth knowing
Oh pride won't get us where we're going
Oh pride won't get us where we're going
