Authentic Lyrics

Every day's a clean slate, a new page

As I make my way through this journey of faith

Wanting to make a difference

In the lives of those in need

But I can't show them You

if all they see is me

I want to be authentic

Just like the Original

Nothing artificial

I want to look just like You

Honest and true

Whenever You are represented

I want to be authentic

If sometimes I appear to be a fake

If my love seems to be just a counterfeit

Forgive all of my disguise and self deceit

That You died to redeem

Cause I can't show them You

If all they see is me

I want to be authentic

Just like the Original

Nothing artificial

I want to look just like You

Honest and true

Whenever You are represented

I want to be authentic

So many people search

For someone to show them Christ

I pray they see You through my life

I want to be authentic

Just like the Original

Nothing artificial

I want to look just like You

Honest and true

Whenever You are represented

I want to be authentic

Whenever You are represented

I want to be authentic
