How many times did I promise not to hurt you?
How many times did I say I'd make the changes?
How many times did I say that I'd do better?
How many times did I fail to keep my word?
I wouldn't love me
You still love me (Still love me)
I wouldn't choose me
You still chose me
I wouldn't love me
You still love me (If I were you)
I wouldn't choose me
You still chose me
I haven't always appreciated your love
How many times did i take your love for granted?
Every time (This was my response)
I would say this was the last time
How many times did I say "God understands me"?
It was so many times (I knew what I was doing)
It was just a way to do my own thing
(I don't see how you keep putting up with me)
I wouldn't love me
You still love me (If I were you)
I wouldn't choose me (But you still)
You still chose me
I wouldn't love me
You still love me (Knowing everything about me)
I wouldn't choose me (But you still chose me)
You still chose me (If I knew what you knew)
I wouldn't love me (You saw it all)
You still love me (Every issue)
I wouldn't choose me (You could've chosen anybody)
You still chose me (But God you picked me)
I wouldn't love me (You're better than me)
You still love me (Your love is consistent)
I wouldn't choose me (You knew I wouldn't love you the same)
But you still chose me (That's why I say I don't know)
I don't know why but you keep on loving me
I don't know why (I'm so confused)
I don't know why but you keep on loving me (Yeah)
I don't know why (So many chances)
I don't know why but you keep on loving me (You love me)
I don't know why (Your grace is amazing)
I don't know why but you keep on loving me
I don't know why (Your love never runs out)
I don't know why but you keep on loving me
I don't know why (I would've given up on me)
I don't know why but you keep on loving me (But you keep on loving)
I don't know why (You keep on loving me yeah)
I don't know why but you keep on loving me (I don't know)
I don't know why
I don't know why but you keep on loving me (Wait I think I figured it out)
Now I know why
When you see me, heal me with the blood (Cure is the blood)
When you see me, heal me with the blood
When you see me, heal me with the blood
I know it is the only thing that's kept me here
When you see me, heal me with the blood
It's the sound of the blood of Jesus
When you see me, heal me with the blood
When you see me, heal me with the blood
When you see me I believe it just to believe yeah
When you see me, heal me with the blood
That saves me, that keeps me, just his
When you see me, heal me with the blood
That wash me, that comfort me
When you see me, heal me with the blood
He reaches no, he reaches out yeah
When you see me, heal me with the blood
It's the blood of Jesus that sets me on
When you see me, heal me with the blood
When you see me, heal me with the blood
If I were you
I wouldn't love me
You still love me
I wouldn't choose me
You still chose me
I wouldn't love me
You still love me
I wouldn't choose me
You still chose me (Reflection)
