My heart is so proud
My mind is so unfocused
I see the things You do through me
As great things I have done
And now You gently break me,
Then lovingly You take me
And hold me as my father
And mold me as my maker.
Chorus:
I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I
keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far
will forgiveness abound?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in
the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."
At times I may grow weak
And feel a bit discouraged,
Knowing that someone,
Somewhere could do a better job.
For who am I to serve You?
I know I don't deserve You.
And that's the part that burns in my heart
And keeps me hanging on.
Chorus*
I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I
keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far
will forgiveness abounds?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in
the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."
You are so patient with me, Lord.
As I walk with You,
I'm learning what Your grace really means.
The price that I could never pay
Was paid at Calvary.
So, instead of trying to repay You,
I'm learning to simply obey You
By giving up my life to you
For all that You've given to me.
Chorus:
I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I
keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far
will forgiveness abounds?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in
the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace.
