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.
