All alone in my own self will Old familiar story So determined to try until I fail You've been waiting as I learn again Straining to the pressure And you offer me a better way Hear me pray Hear me say CHORUS: I choose grace, I choose mercy I choose love and all it means I choose grace, cause I need the power And I need to walk in humility Just how often have I let You down And all the hope around me Break a gentle heart along with mine You keep holding out Your arms again Just the way you found me And you carry me across another line Hear me cry No more pride CHORUS I am growing weary of this foolish independence I reach out for grace and I will reach out to extend it I will reach out I will reach out I will reach out CHORUS Teach me to walk in humility
