Perfection

[ryanweston]

My heart is so proud
My mind is so unfocused
I see the things You do 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

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
I’ll find Your forgiveness abounds
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 seem a bit discouraged
Knowing that someone, somewhere
Can do a better job

But 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

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
I’ll find Your forgiveness abounds
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
About what Your grace really means
How all of my transgressions
You payed 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
I’ll find Your forgiveness abounds
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.”
