On My Own

I don't know about you, but I can see myself in these words:

On My Own

I can't believe that I'm here in this place again
How did I manage to mess up one more time?
This pattern seems to be the story of my life
Should have learned this lesson by the thousandth time.

'Cause I promised myself I wouldn't fall
But here I've fallen
I guess I'm not as strong as I thought
All I can do is cry to you.

Chorus
Oh God you have to save me
You're my last and only hope
All my right answers fail me
I can't seem to make it on my own.

Always thought that I would be strong enough
What made all of them fall couldn't take me down
Yeah, did I think that I was above it all?
I have learned that pride comes before the fall

I can't promise myself that I won't fall
'Cause here I've fallen
I know I'm not as strong as I thought
All I can do is cry to you.

Chorus

So many times I fail others, myself and God. I do things I shouldn't do, say things I shouldn't say and think things I shouldn't think... Yet every time I'm in that place... when I feel like I've failed... AGAIN... when all that goes through my head is: "But I promised myself that I wouldn't..." When I feel like that, and cry out to God He is already there with outstretched arms ready to help me up again. It amazes me... Grace and forgiveness... And I get up again with a clean slate.

And you were kind enough to let me tell you something that you already knew. How sweet you are. May you be blessed forever. You are His child and He loves you. I know that. You are a good and wonderful person.
