I try to shield
every blemish, every stain
I rush to cover
All my hurt and all my pain

​

I spend my days
Living in worry and fear
That I'll be caught
And I can't make it disappear

​

You tell me I'm new
You tell me I'm clean
But I'm not even worthy
To call You my King

 

I turn away from You so easily
I sin against You joyfully
I know what You've done and yet I lose faith
I have the audacity to accuse You to Your face
And somehow, You love me
Somehow You're still by my side
Somehow You want me through my darkness
And I can't see a reason why
But You love me somehow
Oh, You love me somehow

​

I'm not worthy
But You never asked me to be
I'm a nobody
But You want me anyway

​

I reject You
And You are still with me
There is none
Like the grace of the Almighty

​

You tell me I'm new
You tell me I'm clean
though I'm not worthy
I'll call You my King

 

But I turn away from You so easily
I sin against You joyfully
I know what You've done and yet I lose faith
I have the audacity to accuse You to Your face
And somehow, You love me
Somehow You're still by my side
Somehow You want me through my darkness
And I can't see a reason why
But You love me somehow
Oh, You love me somehow

​

I replace You
But You love me somehow
I reject You
But You love me somehow

​

I accuse You
But You love me somehow
I run from You
But You love me somehow

​

I read Your Word and I pray every day
Yet I choose to turn and walk the other way
I know the consequences, all of the cons
Yet I ignore them and gladly do wrong
You see that I am a traitor and I am a rebel
Yet You offer me a love that's unconditional
Don't you know what I am? I think that You do
So You can't just say "You know not what You do"
If I take Your hand and take another shot
I know I'll screw it up so I think "I'd better not"
Yet You stand right before me with arms open wide
Yeah, you stand right before me with tears in Your eyes
Tears of a love that no one can fathom
And arms full of grace no man can imagine
What could I have done to deserve this from You
How could there be a love like this, is it true?

​

​

But I turn away from You so easily
I sin against You joyfully
I know what You've done and yet I lose faith
I have the audacity to accuse You to Your face
And somehow, You love me
Somehow You're still by my side
Somehow You want me through my darkness
And I can't see a reason why
But You love me somehow
Oh, You love me somehow

​

​

Somehow

​

Yes, You love this mess somehow.
