Facing Grace - Saints Can Lie, Ryan Kirby

Humbled, I cry out in pain

In sorrow, I beg just to see your face

It takes this to bring me down to my knees

Lost in sin, desperate to be saved

I scream!

Tears running down my eyes

I used You as a mask to cover the lies

I’ve tried living this life on my own!

Oh God, I’ve never felt so alone

Lord I ask you for thousands of second chances

This trail of hurt it follows me

What doesn’t kill you

Oh, it condemns you

And it brings me to my knees

How can You forgive me?

Torn apart by my arrogance

I made the mistake of trying to escape your grace, now I know

I’ve dug myself deeper in the grave and I fell flat on my face!

(Ryan Kirby)

I’m done pushing you away!

You are better, you are greater!

God!

Take my hurt

God!

Take my tears!

And forgive me!

Lord I ask you for thousands of second chances

This trail of hurt it follows me

What doesn’t kill you

Oh, it condemns you

And it brings me to my knees!

This trail of hurt follows me

Why do I keep failing you?

Why do I keep falling short?

(Ryan Kirby)

Falling short!

Here I am asking your forgiveness!

Please tell me this pain will go away!

After all I’ve put you through, you still forgive me

Now I know that you truly do love me!
