Only Hope by Ellie Holcomb

I love this song. The lyrics perfectly describe the battle that I have with my pride and taking credit for what God has given me.

"I take all the gifts that You have given and I stake my claim like they're my own,
Will You help me when I forget to remember, the good I've got is yours alone,

Cause I don't wanna tell some arrogant story
or let myself believe I'm you!
I don't wanna be a thief who's stealing Your glory...
Will You help remind me of what is true? The ONLY hope I've got, it's You.

Or do I think I have anything to offer, when You have overcome the world?
Couldn't take Your place, cause You're the Author of the greatest love this world has known.

Cause I don't wanna tell some arrogant story
or let myself believe I'm you!
I don't wanna be a thief who's stealing Your glory... 
Will You help remind me of what is true? The ONLY hope I've got, it's You.

Well it's only by Your grace...
That I heard You whisper my name,
I don't have the power to save - to change a heart,
Could You come and change my heart.

 Cause I don't wanna tell some arrogant story
or let myself believe I'm you!
I don't wanna be a thief who's stealing Your glory... 
Will You help remind me of what is true? The ONLY hope I've got, it's You."
