Lyrics:
I lift my voice and cry to You, “Oh God, You’ve got my heart!” The very same voice that I use to curse what You’ve made And I raise my hands and cry to You, “How great Thou art!” The very same hands that fashioned an idol yesterday
But You are not fooled You see how pitiful my heart is But You keep loving me regardless And I am the fool Cuz I see how beautiful Your love is So why do I keep loving You like this? After 39 years and counting
I lift my eyes to Heaven in hopes that I’ll catch a glimpse The same eyes that I turn away from my neighbor’s need Oh, I offer You my time and money without thought of the expense But the offering plate can’t cover up all of my greed
And You are not fooled Cuz You see how pitiful my heart is But You keep loving me regardless And I am the fool Cuz I see how beautiful Your love is So why do I keep loving You like this? After 39 years and counting
Woe is me—I am a man of unclean lips You’ve got scars on both Your wrists from my betrayal Each day I bring a hundred wounds with every kiss The fruit of Cain I intermix with lambs of Abel So why am I still welcomed here at Your table?
God it is still confounding That Your grace is still abounding For 39 years and counting You’ve been by my side So till I take my last breath And run with laughter past death May all of the days I have left be pleasing in Your sight!
