Story Behind the Song
Ever feel like you fall into the same pit over and over again? I DO! It’s amazing how one minute I can be living a life full of Jesus and the next minute I am living life the way I want to live. The crazy thing is that I WANT to please the Lord! But every once in a while, sin creeps in and makes a BIG mess! I think Paul could relate to this when He said in Romans 7:15-18, “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who does it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.” My human efforts cannot overcome the shameful things I have done in my life, but God’s grace already has!
Lyrics
Every day is like the same
Goin in circles, caught in a routine
I can be real, I can be fake
I can speak truth, whatever it takes
To make you believe that things are what they seem
Oh, how I want to turn away
No matter what I do I can’t shake my mistakes
Only your love, only your grace
Can cover the shame, can plead my case
Living in this world ain’t easy
But I’ll trust You’ll find a way for me to
(Chorus)
Try, try, try
Try to figure out
Why, why, why
I wanna do right but always manage to
Lie, lie, lie
To myself
Thinkin’ my life was alright
Don’t know why
But I’ll try
Lord, I don’t deserve Your mercy
But I’ll gladly rejoice in Your love
Down in my knees I give you thanks
For getting me through whatever life brings
Whenever I start to look back
Remind me of what lies ahead
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
