	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song very early, when I was 18. The lyrics speak for themselves, I think. Lyrics This isn’t the way it should be But why do things always turn out this way Once again I turn back to you But why can’t I be more strong? This isn’t the way it should be But why do things always turn out this way Once again I turn back to you, and I beg you, Lord, forgive me And I know I can’t live without you But still I turn away And I know that you’re bleeding for me But still I choose to stray How could you love me? How could you serve me? How could you wash my feet? How could you die for me? This isn’t the way it should be But I always twist the meaning, and I know where this will lead But I trust in my own pride This isn’t the way it should be But I feel life has no meaning and I slowly hide my face And turn to my inside And once again I drown in nothing, and wallow in my mud And once again I let you wash me in tears and precious blood You came for me, you set me free, you freed me from anxiety The mystery, that puzzles me, it’s so much more than I can see You gave me life, you gave me breath, you saved me from the second death The mystery, that puzzles me, this strange new savior on the tree I lift my filthy face up to you, and feel your cleansing rain I let your mercy burn right through me, and take away the pain Thank you Jesus, more and more, every day I thank you more Gave me freedom, gave me breath, saved me from the second death Thank you Jesus, more and more, every day I thank you more Gave me freedom, gave me breath, saved me from the second death
