It's Enough

Will my mouth declare your praise, when the salt starts to lose it's taste..
Will my heart be contrite, when I'm standing in Your light..
If pride didn't come before a fall, would I even seek you at all?
 
How can I forget, it's not about how I walk
but what you've done to cause me to
How can I think it's by these hands that I've been given rest
when all I do is fall on my knees in forgiveness.
 
I'm sorry it took this long to see, how far I am from who you want me to be
In the distance are the mistakes I've made, in Your forgiveness I'm saved
pardoned and redeemed by a grace that's finished and complete.
 
How can I forget, it's not about how I walk
but what you've done to cause me to
How can I think it's by these hands that I've been given rest
when all I do is fall on my knees in forgiveness.
 
I wake from a sleep of being broken, blessed to be forgiven
In silent confession I find, that I was walking blind
May I hold to what you love, and know it's enough...
