How many times have I have turned away
The number is the same as the sand on the shore
Every time You’ve taken me back
And now I pray You’ll do it once more

Please take from me my life
When I don’t have the strength
To give it away to You
Please take from me my life
When I don’t have the strength
To give it away to You, Jesus

How many times have I gone astray
The number is the same as the stars in the sky
Every time You’ve taken me back
And now I pray You’ll do it tonight

Behind the Song:
“From our first album, this is a throw back to the old days when Third Day was all acoustic. This was one of the first praise songs that we had ever written and are very excited about showing it to a whole new audience. It is a prayer that we all must pray often in our lives, when we can’t let go of our own dreams and goals, and ask God to have His will in our lives and now our own.” - Mac Powell (Third Day)
