I Choose Grace

Hey, I'm being encouraged by another cool song I have just gotta post. It is by Twila Paris...not sure of the title, but it's on her True North CD. (I can't find the case.)

All alone in my own self will
Old familiar story
So determined to try
Until I fail
You’ve been waiting
As I learn again
Straining to the pressure
And You offer me a better way
Hear me pray
Hear me say

I choose grace
I choose mercy
I choose love and all it means
I choose grace
‘Cause I need the power
And I need to walk in humility

Just how often
Have I let You down
And all the hope around me
Break a gentle heart
Along with mine
You keep holding out
Your arms again
Just the way You found me
And You carry me across another line
Hear me cry
No more pride

I choose grace (that’s what You’ve given to me)
I choose mercy (that’s why I need to be free)
I choose love and all it means
I choose grace (that’s what You’ve given to me)
‘Cause I need the power (that’s why I need to be free)
And I need to walk in humility

I am growing weary
Of this foolish independence
I reach out for grace
And I will reach out
To extend it
I will reach out
I will reach out
I will reach out

I choose grace (that’s what You’ve given to me)
I choose mercy (that’s why I need to be free)
I choose love and all it means
I choose grace (that’s what You’ve given to me)
‘Cause I need the power (that’s why I need to be free)
And I need to walk in humility

Teach me to walk in humility
