So proud and excited that I by myself Have reached such a lofty place I took the last step toward my ultimate goal But clumsily fell on my face I opened my eyes only to find I was back at the place I’d begun Helpless and broken, I strained and cried out Surely the enemy has won I felt his peace that passes understanding Grace that is never ending Love that overflows my soul I felt his peace that passes understanding Grace that is never ending Love overflows my soul As I wallowed in self pity, He came to sit with me there His presence alone was so rich and so deep It chased away all my despair I said, ‘Lord please forgive me for my prideful heart, It sneaks in before I know.’ He said, ‘ What prideful heart?’ He forgave and forgot He said, ‘ How I want you to know… My peace that passes understanding Grace that is never ending Love that overflows my soul.’ His peace that passes understanding Grace that is never ending Love that overflows my soul Now how daily I humble myself at His feet I make His desire my will For He’s taken my higher than I have ever been And He’s taking me higher still With his peace that passes understanding Grace that is never ending Love that overflows my soul Oh peace, grace, love that overflows my soul My soul
