So proud and excited that I by myself
Have reached such a lofty place
I took the last step toward my ultimate goal
But clumsily fell on my face
I opened my eyes only to find
I was back at the place I'd begun
Helpless and broken, I strained and cried out
Surely the enemy has won
I felt his peace that pa**es understanding
Grace that is never ending
Love that overflows my soul
I felt his peace that pa**es understanding
Grace that is never ending
Love overflows my soul
As I wallowed in self pity, He came to sit with me there
His presence alone was so rich and so deep
It chased away all my despair
I said, 'Lord please forgive me for my prideful heart
It sneaks in before I know.'
He said, 'What prideful heart?' He forgave and forgot
He said, 'How I want you to know'
My peace that pa**es understanding
Grace that is never ending
Love that overflows my soul.'
His peace that pa**es understanding
Grace that is never ending
Love that overflows my soul
Now how daily I humble myself at His feet
I make His desire my will
For He's taken my higher than I have ever been
And He's taking me higher still
With his peace that pa**es understanding
Grace that is never ending
Love that overflows my soul
Oh peace, grace, love that overflows my soul
My soul
