Vs. 1
I know that I fell victim to my wicked eye
I know that I've been chasing every little lie
I'm hungry as a prisoner, I'm tired as a slave
For keeping one foot in the garden,
And one foot in the grave
Vs. 2
But the sweetest place I know
Lies just behind the veil
There I find that you cover every time I fail
And there I see the proof that You're merciful to man
For if You were to keep a record I know I could never

For there you cover
Every lie I spoke and every promise that I broke

And each and every time I fail, You cover every one
I can't go over, You know I can't go under
You tear the veil away and lead me to the wonder of
Your...
Chorus
