Here I go again,
The scene is so familiar,
It seems it’s been a hundred times before,
There’s so much more,
That You have for me if I’d free You hand to pour,
From Your grace.
Please take me back again,
I’ve been going through the motions,
It’s so easy to drift away from all that’s true,
Away from You,
And as I turn aside and hide my heart from view,
You’re faithful to pursue,
Always faithful to pursue.
Chorus:
I don’t understand,
How this favor came to be,
While scanning through the sea,
Of despondence,
You fixed Your eyes on me,
To give Your life away,
For a life so full of sin,
I give to You this broken heart to mend,
And rise to start again.
Looking back on where I’ve been,
And while the road was high and narrow,
I meandered through the meadows and the fields,
So much concealed,
And all that wasted time,
As I climbed back to the road,
With such a heavy load,
Bridge:
It seems so lost and futile,
As I often turn to run,
For I’m more than just a pupil,
I’m Your son,
In Your forgiveness I am learning,
And in Your power, I am true,
In Your love I have a yearning,
To become more like You.
