My heart is so proud
My eyes are so unfocused
I see the things You do through me
As great things I have done
And now You gently break me
And lovingly You take me
And hold me as my Father
And mold me as my maker

I ask you how many times will You pick me up
When I keep on letting You down
And each time I will fall short of Your glory
How far will forgiveness abound?
And You answer, “My child I love you
And as long as you’re seeking My face
You’ll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace”

At times I may grow weak
And feel a bit discouraged
Knowing that someone, somewhere could do a better job
For who am I to serve You
I know I don’t deserve You
And that’s the part that burns in my heart and keeps me hanging on

CHORUS

You are so patient with me, Lord

I ask you how many times will You pick me up
When I keep on letting You down
And each time I will fall short of Your glory
How far will forgiveness abound?
And you answer, “My child I love you
And as long as you’re seeking My face
You’ll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace”
