I've traveled down this road a million times before And it always seems to turn out the same One more deserted dead end, so I turn once again And trace each step I've taken in vain How many times must I act out this useless part in a play With an all too common end And despite my designs I forget all the lines and I have to start all over again
So I lay my life in Your hands I know it's been hard to pry it from mine My feet grown weary and I've nowhere to stand So I lay my life in Your hands
Lord, You know how many times I've failed And You know how many times I'll fail again But that will never erase the effects of Your grace Or the way that You call me 'friend' So once again I've fallen to my knees and I'm asking You to help me see that no matter how I try Only You can truly satisfy the hunger that I have to be free
Living less of me, knowing more of You Is all the hope I need to get me through
