I try so hard but I always fall short.
So I've Faced the truth of my weakness.
There's nothing good that I can bring forth, but I stand in the strength of Your presence.
I've wasted time always trying to face hings alone, but I wait here now and I lay it all down.
I know who I am and I know I'm not able to stand on my own.
I can't live all alone.
So I'm taking my hands and I'm reaching them out.
And I fall down, I fall down for you.
And I fall down.
In times f brokenness always You show the depth of love that You bring me.
I'm kneeling down in Your presence I know.
Your source of life I'm receiving.
I place myself in Your arms that will always lead me.
And I won't let go caue there's nowhere else to go.
I don't know why the things I want to do I always ran from now,
Because I know apart from You there's nothing I can do where life will become new.
And I know who I am and I know I'm not able to stand on my own.
I can't live all alone.
So I'm taking my hands and I'm reaching them out, and I know that I'll take everything that's in me.
And I fall down, I fall down for you. And I fall down for you.
