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

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

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

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

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
Teach me to walk in humility
