Every Time I Fail

Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing anymore

I try to stand alone but I tumble to the floor

The things I find I'm doing often leave me mystified

And I stumble over my pride

I like to think I'm free but I'm a slave unto myself

I wrap myself in chains 'til I can think of nothing else

I need someone to come and show me who I'm supposed to be

And you are always there to rescue me

Every time I fail

Is every time you save

Every time I fall

You pull me from the grave

Every time I'm weak

That's when you are strong

Even in my shame

You tell me I belong

Every time I fail

I must admit I really don't find joy in all my pains

But for your sake I'll suffer them and thank you all the same

Because it's through them I receive your all-sufficient grace

And my love for you is shining on my face

I want to tell the world about the power of your love

And testify to how your mercy saved me from above

I will boast upon my weakness, bear witness to my shame

You have raised me up from nothing so I proudly share your name
