Chasing the Wind

But look at me now, I’m reaching much higher
I’m trying so hard, but quickly I tire
When will it be enough?
So often I see Your beauty surrounding me
But find my way out
What’s wrong with my heart? This friction of bound and free
That fills light with doubt
When will it be enough to know just grace and stop chasing the wind?
I tried to be wise with foolish volition
Working to earn my place
Oh how I was bold, but ignored my condition
Forgetting «all of grace»
I feel the push and the pulls as it all tears me apart
I’m tripping over my pride, what’s wrong with my heart?
I feel the push and the pulls as it all tears me apart
I’m tripping over my pride, what’s wrong with my heart?
When will it be enough to know just grace and stop chasing the wind?
Oh how much I’ve sinned!
So often I see the darkness that’s found in me
But clinch my eyes shut
My guilt will agree I drown in the deepest sea
Yet how could this be? I’ve been such a liar
Who’s got nothing to give and none You require
How could I forget? Your ways are much higher
I couldn’t afford mercy
Declaring to me Your love doesn’t tire
You must be everything
You’ve taken my curse and all that I’ve squandered
There’s nothing that I could bring
That despite all my flaws and how far I’ve wandered
You’ve given everything
You’re longing to show Your mercy
My weakness reveals Your beauty
You’re longing to show Your mercy
My weakness reveals Your beauty
