"You love me anyway"

as i was sitting on a mountain the other day, the Lord brought some words back to me that i had forgotten about...they were words to a song i wrote several years ago in college & for some reason, i don't have them written down - anywhere. i know the song was complete, but for now this is all i can remember...everything but the bridge.

every time i'm brought back to these words, & every time i sing them...they seem to be true. i fall away from the Lord so quickly, so easily...i make promises to Him that He knows i'm going to break...i push Him to the side, i put Him in second place...and yet...
He loves me anyway.



"You love me anyway"

vs. 1
i've done it again
i've pushed You to the side
another broken promise
another battle with my pride
so here i am again
even though i don't deserve
You to ever listen
every cry i know You've heard

pre-chorus
so why can't i get it?
why can't it all just fall in place?
why can't i love You like i mean it?
why can't i fall upon my face...

chorus
to praise You
love You
worship You, Lord
though You don't need me
You want me
to live in Your word
i'm so unworthy
so undeserving
and yet You love me
love me, Lord
You love me anyway

vs. 2
this time it will be different
this time i'll follow through
but even if i fail You
i know you're promise will hold true
'cause i am Your child
and will forever be
so why do i question
this love You have for me?

pre-chorus
why can't i get it?
why can't it all just fall in place?
why can't i love You like i mean it?
why can't i fall upon my face...

chorus
to praise You
love You
worship You, Lord
though You don't need me
You want me
to live in Your word
i'm so unworthy
so undeserving
and yet You love me
love me, Lord
You love me anyway

I'm gonna need to see you soon....and for you to sing me to sleep every night.

You really should record some stuff onto my Mac and make an EP or something.
