How many times will I fall?
How many times will I hit this same wall?
It feels like I'm stuck here, same song on repeat
If I'm honest, I wonder if there's any hope for me
But I hear Your voice cut through the noise
like a calm in the middle of a storm
I say it's over, but You say it's beginning
And I say I'm guilty, but You say forgiven
And I may be broken, but Your words bring healing
So no matter what I'm feeling, this time I'm believing what You say, what You say
You call me Your son, when I feel like I don't belong
You say that I've got a special place in Your heart
You tell me I'm loved, more than I'll ever know
And even when I'm failing, Your grace only grows
I say it's over, but You say it's beginning
And I say I'm guilty, but You say forgiven
And I may be broken, but Your words bring healing
So no matter what I'm feeling, this time I'm believing what You say, what You say
No more listenin' to all of the lies, no
'Cause the truth is, I'm blameless in Your eyes, in Your eyes
But I hear Your voice cut through the noise like a calm in the middle of the storm, oh
I say it's over, but You say it's beginning
And I say I'm guilty, but You say forgiven
And I may be broken, but Your words bring healing
So no matter what I'm feeling, this time I'm believing what You say (I'm believing, yes I'm believing)
What You say (oh, I'm believing, yes I'm believing)
What You say (oh, I'm believing, yes I'm believing)
What You say (oh, I'm believing, yes I'm believing)
Lord, what You say (I'm believing what You say)
