And they expect so much from her but It's not her who's doing this, It's God, she didn't make herself this way on her own. "I'll show you what he did, But I won't take the credit It's not mine anyway I just held the pen that day." = Lacey singing and expressing herself in her songs is a way of showing her fans that she's going to show them what He did, but she won't take the credit because It's not entirely her work.

"And I don't deserve this This time right now It's not something for which I can take the bow And I don't deserve this." = Lacey saying she doesn't deserve all of this, the praise, the glory, the love, the recognition etc. She can't say "Oh thank you! I worked really hard on it! I think I did a good job!" Because It wasn't her. "I know what perfection is like And I cannot stand before its might And I'm so far from what you think that I must be I just drown myself in mercy." = What YOU think Lacey is, (some fantastic person, a great person, which she is) Is not what she wants YOU to think of her "And all the art that I supposedly create Is simply a faded reflection of something He's already made." = God already knows the future and basically he already made Lacey's life before she was even born, so It's just a faded reflection of His work, she's imperfect that's what makes it faded and it's a reflection because He already did it, now It's reflected onto Lacey. |
