Wrong Again
Father I hate to tell you this
You taught me how to hit the mark
And once again I missed.
Touch the fire
You always said that I get burned
Why is it so hard to remember?
All the lessons I have learned.
How could you look at me that way?
When I have failed so many times
Showing me love you tell the world
This child is mine
How could you walk that extra mile?
I see forgiveness in your smile
So sure you reject me
Wrong again
Once again
Lord I have wandered from your path
Thought I knew a better way
from a shorter word you've asked
Standing here
I don't deserve a second chance
And I can't conceal the shame i feel
it's more than I can stand
How could you look at me that way?
When I have failed so many times
Showing me love you tell the world
This child is mine
How could you walk that extra mile?
I see forgiveness in your smile
So sure you'd desert me
Wrong again
When I look into your face
And see the power of your grace
I find it so hard to believe
Forgiveness that you're showing me
I see the answer in your eyes
Love and mercy realized
Finally the truth has set me free
How could you look at me that way?
When I have failed so many times
Showing me love you tell the world
This child is mine
How could you walk that extra mile?
I see forgiveness in your smile
So should you reject me?
Wrong again
I thought you would scold me,
Instead you just hold me
Thought you would judge me
Instead you just loved me
So sure you'd reject me
Wrong again
