I Cannot


I could not see, And I could not breathe
Until I was freed, Until I was redeemed
So I cannot boast cause I did not know
Until I was shown, Until I was reborn
Father remind me please how this all goes
I cannot earn Your smile
I cannot work my way
Into the Love of Christ
Into amazing grace
You gave me the gift of life
You gave me the gift of faith
Let me receive this God
and rest in Your ways
So I will not strive. And I will not hide.
In You I’m alive. In You I’ll abide.
I want to believe. I want to receive
the way you see me, Righteous and clean
Father remind me please how this all goes


I cannot earn Your smile
I cannot work my way
Into the Love of Christ
Into amazing grace
You gave me the gift of life
You gave me the gift of faith
Let me receive this God
and rest in Your ways
Not a thing I add, not a thing I bring
can enhance Your love, change Your thoughts of me
So in hope I’ll trust, to the cross I’ll cling to You
Every drop of blood spilled at Calvary was so I could live
was so I could sing so I give my life, lay down everything to You
I cannot earn Your smile
I cannot work my way
Into the Love of Christ
Into amazing grace
You gave me the gift of life
You gave me the gift of faith
Let me receive this God
and rest in Your ways
