For every time I make the choice To love the sound of my own voice Another’s wants, another’s needs I trample underneath my feet For every time I boldly say That I’m the one who knows the way And I come down with a heavy hand And withhold my understanding I know now, more than ever I know now, more than ever I know now, more than ever I know now, that I am still so in need of grace and mercy I am still so in need of grace and mercy For every time that I hold up My life against another one And I envy what I cannot have And curse what I don’t understand Oh on this darkness, shine a light Remind me once again that I Know now, more than ever I know now, more than ever I know now, more than ever I know now, that I am still so in need of grace and mercy I am still so in need of grace and mercy I’d like to think that I’m older now And surely I must have grown out of this I’d like to reach some higher ground But what a sad life to live without Grace and mercy, grace and mercy, yeah I am still so in need of grace and mercy I am still so in need of grace and mercy
