As Much As I Love Myself

I can only love God as much as I love myself
and I wonder why He's not my first priority
How do I love myself through you oh God?
How do I love myself enough to get close to You?

I can only love God as much as I understand love
Maybe this is why I don't understand our relationship
His glowing light shines too bright sometimes
His glowing light enforces too great a might sometimes

I can only love God as much as I commit to truth
and I ponder why its so hard not to lie
when vowing means to do when I try
when bowing means its to You that I lie

I can only love God as long as I have faith
and I think how my melancholy doesn't seize hope
How do I trust whats only brought me pain?
How do I connect to what drives me insane?

I can only love God as much as I love myself
and I wonder why He's not my first priority
How do I love myself through you oh God?
How do I love myself enough to get close to you?
