Lyrics

Lord, can I have a do over?
This time I’ll do what you say.
You see I misunderstood …
I mean, I just wasn’t listening
And I went the other way,
On purpose.

And Lord, I know I’m a sinner
And there is nothing I can do
To make myself holy,
Or follow completely,
Or make my life pleasing to you.
Though I try.

I rely on myself,
Just going my own way,
Not caring what you say
Till it all falls apart.

But Lord, You bring forgiveness.
You bring mercy and grace.
Your life filled with holiness,
Perfect and blameless
You came to take my place.
You died for me.

I’ll rely on you,
Trusting what you say.
There’s no need to do it over,
‘Cause I’m covered by your grace.
