I Never Want to Hear It Said

by slm - Libra

So many times I stumble, so many times I've let You down
Even at my best, I can't repay this peace I've found
I don't deserve Your saving grace or the love You have for me
I thank you for those chosen ones, who prayed that I might see

You've washed away my sin of old and now bring out my best
You give to me the strength I need, when I am put to test
Yet even at my best oh Lord, I am humbled to my knee
For I never want to hear it said, oh sinner, depart from me

For many years I came to church but it was just a game
Until the day You humbled me and took away all my pain
I'm not the man you used to know, but I still trip and fall
But with Your love, You pick me up so I can stand up tall

So many times I stumble, so many times I've let You down
Even at my best, I can't repay this peace I've found
Yet even at my best oh Lord, I am humbled to my knee
For I never want to hear it said, oh sinner, depart from me
