Lyrics
What I Cannot Earn
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I try, I try
but I fail, I fail
it's like walking on ice in socks
it's like breathing underwater
I try
I live, I live
and I breathe, I breathe
but is living really life
and is breath really breathing
without You
when will I learn to accept my mistakes?
when will I learn to accept Your grace?
and if I was perfect well I wouldn't need mercy
and if I was perfect I wouldn't
need God - I wouldn't need God
when will I learn to accept my mistakes?
when will I learn to accept Your grace?
Your grace?
Your grace?
