Grace & Mercy

For every time I make the choice
To love the sound of my own voice
Another's wants, another's needs
I trample underneath my feet

For every time I boldly say
That I'm the one who knows the way
And I come down with a heavy hand
And withhold my understanding

I know now, more than ever
I know now, more than ever
I know now, more than ever
I know now, that

I am still so in need of grace and mercy
I am still so in need of grace and mercy

For every time that I hold up
My life against another one
And I envy what I cannot have
And curse what I don't understand
Oh on this darkness, shine a light
Remind me once again that I

Know now, more than ever
I know now, more than ever
I know now, more than ever
I know now, that

I am still so in need of grace and mercy
I am still so in need of grace and mercy

I'd like to think that I'm older now
And surely I must have grown out of this
I'd like to reach some higher ground
But what a sad life to live without
Grace and mercy, grace and mercy, yeah

I am still so in need of grace and mercy
I am still so in need of grace and mercy
