Somehow

I wish I could always say that You are lovely

Tantalizing and desirable to me

That You drive me to give and do
all that I can for You

But You know I am self-seeking

Self-leading and self-dreaming
wanting to do and pursue

All I can for me

Yet somehow I find that there’s grace enough

For even the wayward sinners like me

And somewhere down the line

I’ll embrace it as all I need

Because You know that I am

Trusting and surrendering

To the best of my ability

All I can to You

And I thank You

that somehow Your mercy is new every morning

I thank You

that somehow Your love envelopes me

I thank You

that somehow Your grace washes over all I see

I thank You

that somehow You love me too much

To leave me where I please to stay

And I thank You

That somehow I may know You deeper every day.

So I thank You

That Your mercy is new every morning

I thank You

That Your love envelopes me

I thank You

That Your grace washes over all I see

I thank You

That You love me too much

To leave me where I please to stay

And I thank You

That I may know You deeper every day.
