~*verse one*~

Why is it all the good that I want to get done somehow always passes me by?
But the things that I don't want to do or say come tumbling out without even a try.
Do I take the time to thank You for all the things in my life,
My crosses as well as my joys?
It is Your way to mold my heart and to change my life amidst all the noise.

~*chorus*~

I rely on Your forgiveness, Your mercy, and Your love
To sustain me through the trials of each day.
You are my strength, my comfort, and my hope,
My love, Jesus, You are the way.

~*verse two*~

Do I see Your face, Lord, in that homeless man, or perhaps the drunk on the street?
And maybe the prisoner alone in the cell, or the ragged child with no shoes on his feet?
Am I speaking to You when I find fault with my neighbor
And I know just how things should be?
But my hope is in You, Lord, to change my heart and make my soul a mirror of Thee.

~*chorus*~

~*bridge*~

How many opportunities do I miss each day to encounter You face-to-face?
But, You redeem my shortcomings and You give me life
Through Your gift of sanctifying grace.

~*chorus*~
