wise words....

Grace - Silers Bald

My heart is so proud
My eyes are so unfocused
I see the things you've done for me
As great things I have done
But now you gently break me
And I cry just like a baby
You hold me as my Father
And mold me as my maker

And 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 walk in the power of my daily sufficient grace."

At times I may grow weak, and feel a bit discouraged
Knowing that someone, somewhere can do a better job
For who am I to serve you?
I know I don't deserve you
But that's the part that burns in my heart
And keeps me hanging on

And 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 walk in the power of my daily sufficient grace."

You are so patient with me Lord
As I walk with you I'm learning
About what you're grace really means
How all of my transgressions
Were 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
