I wrote the chorus to this song about 5 years ago, and could never finish it. After a couple of minutes with Conrad, he gave me the melody and opening line. I took it home and finished it in no time. My first attempt at co-writing. I think it worked...

Verse 1
I’m having trouble breathing, come and fill my lungs
I need to know Your purpose and see Your Kingdom come
But I am disconnected from the Savior I profess
The words that I confess

Lately I’ve been trusting in my ability
I have been pursuing what only pleases me
And lately I’ve been close to worthless for Your Kingdom
And for Your name

Bridge 1
Today I clear the air
Today I make this prayer

Chorus
May it be true that my eyes they look to You only
May it be true that my ears will listen to every word You say
May it be true that my heart breaks for the things that break Yours too
May it be true that I live my life for You

Verse 2
Voices all around me say I will never change
Each time I pursue it, they call me back the other way
They’re speaking of my history, my record in the race
And in the game

Bridge 2
But I hear Your voice of truth
So I’m listening to You

Chorus
May it be true that my eyes they look to You only
May it be true that my ears will listen to every word You say
May it be true that my heart breaks for the things that break Yours too
May it be true that I live my life for You
