My LIFE STORY described in this song.

I heard this song last night for the first time!

I cried before the first stanza was over... How can I not... IT IS SOOOO ME described in every detail....

How PRIDE has been my struggles.... even my roommate 20 years ago told me ," be careful, humble yourself before GOD humbles you!"

Surely!  I have been broken by HIM so I can run back to HIM...
I wish I can tell you that I pass each lesson the first time it was given...
But truth be told... IT WASN"T the case..

I NEVER pass the lesson completely.. NEVER...
Still learning!  Still Failing... Each time HE picked me back up again and teaches me again..ever so patiently!

2 days ago, I watched the passion of the Christ on TV... The part that He was brutally beaten...

I can't stand watching too much of it.. So graphic :-(  Made me down on my knees today to think that someone took that for me.... Someone loves me that much....

Hope you listen to the song video... Hope you find it a blessing... I can't find the CD yet... so feel free to repost... No matter how many time I listen, I still cry.... It is so convicting... it is such a picture of me...

GRACE's lyric...

My heart is so proud. My mind is so unfocused.
I see the things You do through me as great things I have done. And now You gently break me, then lovingly You take me and hold me as my father and mold me as my maker.

Chorus:
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 pow'r 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*
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 abounds?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."
You are so patient with me, Lord.

As I walk with You, I'm learning what Your grace really means. The price that I could never pay was paid at Calvary. So, instead of trying to repay You, I'm learning to simply obey You
by giving up my life to you For all that You've given to me.

Chorus:
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 abounds?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."
