I can't save myself


Ik werd geraakt door dit lied, dat ik via Groot Nieuws Radio hoorde. 


No one can accuse me I'm not trying
To make the most of this hand I've been dealt
No one can accuse me I'm not trying
To move past all the pain and fear I've felt

Turns out in the end
That all my best attempts
Could never keep my weary heart from drowning

I can't save myself
I can't save myself
But coming to my rescue
Is what You do so well
And when my strength has failed
The story I will tell
Is how Your love refused to leave me on my own
When I couldn't save my-self  

I'm sure You've spent a lot of time just waiting
For me to wave the flag and just give up
And patiently You've waited with sweet mercy
Knowing my best wasn't good enough

I don't know why You stay
Or why You love me this way
I sure want You to know that I'm grateful, grateful

I can't save myself
I can't save myself
But coming to my rescue
Is what You do so well
And when my strength has failed
The story I will tell
Is how Your love refused to leave me on my own
When I couldn't save my-self  

Turns out in the end
That all my best attempts
Could never keep my weary heart from drowning
I don't know why You stay
Or why You love me this way
I sure want You to know that I'm grateful, grateful

I can't save myself
I can't save myself
But coming to my rescue
Is what You do so well
And when my strength has failed
The story I will tell
Is how Your love refused to leave me on my own
When I couldn't save my-self  
When I couldn't save my-self  

So turn your eyes upon Je-sus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth
Will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

  1. Dat is inderdaad een prachtige tekst Grace! Eerst vond ik het een beetje naar, maar toen kwam 'het licht'!
