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

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 power

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

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 power

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

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 power

of my daily sufficient grace
