How many times

Have I chosen to go my own way

Trying to fight

Then I fall for the same old mistakes

How many times 

have I found myself lost and afraid

Where it feels like I might never get it together

There I remember


How many times 

You?ve picked up my pieces

How many times

My heart You?ve redeemed it

All of my life

You?ve never left my side

No matter  

How many times

You gave second chances

How many times

You?ve held my hand through

All of my life

You still love me how can it be

With how many times how many times


I have chosen to run from Your grace

And You?ve proven that I 

Have never been too far away

You always come running 

Running after me

How can you love 

Love a mess like me

A mess like me


With how many times 

You?ve picked up my pieces

How many times

My heart You?ve redeemed it

All of my life

You?ve never left my side

No matter  

How many times

You gave second chances

How many times

You?ve held my hand through

All of my life

You still love me how can it be

With how many times how many times


Grace grace Gods grace

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within

Grace grace Gods grace

Grace that is greater than all my sin


How many times 

You?ve picked up my pieces

How many times

My heart You?ve redeemed it

All of my life

You?ve never left my side

No matter  

How many times

You gave second chances

How many times

You?ve held my hand through

All of my life

You still love me how can it be

With how many times how many times


Grace grace Gods grace

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within

Grace grace Gods grace

Grace that is greater than all my sin


Grace grace Gods grace

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within

Grace grace Gods grace

Grace that is greater than all my sin
