Lord, Someday May I Learn

All of my mistakes
From which I should be learning
Are playing on repeat
Oh Lord, this broken heart is hurting

Lord, someday may I learn
All these little gods of mine
That I build with eager hands
Neither speak nor satisfy

Upon this fortress of regret
Strong walls of painful memory
Suppressing, suffocating
All the joy once bright in me

Lord, someday may I learn
How You, for me, upon the cross
Took full weight of all I’ve done
Removed my debt and paid my cost

So abundant in my wrongs
And so lacking in my rights
So alone in self-wrought suffering
So close to giving up this fight

Lord, someday may I learn
When I’m brought down by guilt and shame
The full forgiveness freely giv’n
The power and comfort of Your grace

Seems that change is past my grasp
Become impatient for an end
Never been the man I ought
Oh Lord, this hardened heart please rend

Lord, someday may I learn
Fallen down before Your throne
The worth of walking in Your truth
Of making all my life Your own
