|
There's a place in the human soul |
|
Where we want to be in charge of everything |
|
Take control |
|
It's not easy to lose the reigns |
|
When we feel that we're responsible for all our gains. |
|
But the fact of the matter is |
|
That the credit is only His |
|
And the reason you take a breath |
|
Is the one who has conquered death |
|
Is a God of amazing grace |
|
Who is willing to plead your case. |
|
Do you remember there was a day |
|
When you gave your life, your all to Him in every way |
|
But you love for Him soon grew cold |
|
And you found yourself conforming to the world's mold. |
|
But the fact of the matter is |
|
That the credit is only His |
|
And the reason you take a breath |
|
Is the one who has conquered death |
|
Is a God of amazing grace |
|
Who is willing to plead your case. |
|
When you think that you know best |
|
And you think that you can ride |
|
The wave out on the crest |
|
Then the things that He said are mute |
|
And the promises He made to you |
|
You give the boot. |
|
By the time you think it over now |
|
Things have gotten worse somehow |
|
If you'd only given Him your all |
|
He'd have caught you long before the fall |
|
And you're looking at what could've been |
|
It's tails you lose and heads I win. |
|
And you're looking at what might have been |
|
It's tails you lose and heads I win! |
