Works. Grace. Lyrics

Always making promises I can't keep

I meant what I said but it turns out

My words are empty

I hope you don't resent me

All of my courage just falls to the ground

I'm ashamed at the scene that I've caused

Fighting what I thought were enemies

When the villain's been me all along

I should have just looked to the cross

I should have just looked to the cross

When my efforts meet the threshing floor

My works are just straw

Just chaff blown away in the fall

God, I feel small

Running in circles, can't figure out why

I keep trying to do what's been done

Tried satisfying justice myself

When I know that the battle's been won

I should have just trusted the blood

Oh, I should have just trusted the blood

I know that I'll find myself back here again

Begging forgiveness once more

After pouring my guts out trying to work for your love

With my face on the floor

When I could have just knocked on the door

Oh, I could have just knocked on the door

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh oh

The next time I come to this fork in the road

I hope I remember my place

And not hesitate to just lay down my pride

I'm weary from running this race

I confess that I've got no more strength

I'm supposed to just rest in your grace

I'm supposed to just rest in your grace

I should have just asked for your help

'Stead of trying to do it myself

I should have just rested in grace

I should have just rested in grace

I should have just knocked on the door

Oh, I should have just knocked on the door

I should have just trusted the blood

Oh, I should have just trusted the blood

I should have just looked to the cross

Oh, I should have just looked to the cross

I should have just looked to the cross

I should have just looked to the cross

You could spend your whole life just working

Trying to make something of yourself

Or you could ask for mercy

Cause no matter how hard you try, you can't do it

You need grace
