A tender love song for my wife.... ;-)
Sort of alternative, sort of ska, sort of punk
This song got lots of airplay on Christian rock radio programs and has a music video.
Lyrics
My Self
©1999 Ted Pearce
My self likes to feed me, my self likes to buy me clothes
My self combed my hair today, my self that nobody knows
My self spends my money on my self every chance it gets
My self is so selfish; haven't got enough of my self yet
My self is thinking only of my self
My self doesn't care for you or anyone else
My self likes to envy. Pain is where it leads me
Strife, dissention, jealousy, and fits of rage are killing me
My self is thinking only of my self
My self doesn't care for you or anyone else
Cause my self wants to kill me, my self wants to kill me
Said my self wants to kill me, my self wants to kill me
Only God can save my wretched soul cause I'm about to lose all of my self control of my self
I've noticed when I feed him it's really hard to beat him
He only wants to get his way so I need a Saviour everyday
My self is thinking only of my self
My self doesn't care for you or anyone else
There is a war going on inside and though battles have been lost I must continue the fight
Jesus is the answer to wiping out this cancer
The Spirit that He offers will keep me safe forever
My self is thinking only of my self
My self doesn't care for you or anyone else
Cause my self wants to kill me, my self wants to kill me
Said my self wants to kill me, my self wants to kill me
Only God can save my wretched soul so to Him I give up all my self control of my self
