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 passes understanding 

Grace that is never ending 

Love that overflows my soul 

I felt his peace that passes 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 passes understanding 

Grace that is never ending 

Love that overflows my soul.' 

His peace that passes 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 passes understanding 

Grace that is never ending 

Love that overflows my soul 

Oh peace, grace, love that overflows my soul 

My soul
