Lyrics

I keep swinging at shadows in the dark

Building kingdoms out of broken parts

Every ladder that I climb alone

Crumbles underneath the weight of my own

I’m screaming at the sky again

Another promise I can’t defend

Face down in the dirt I lay

Same blood, same mud, same shame

I thought I could carry it

I thought I was strong enough

Turns out I’m just the same kid

Falling every time I try to stand up

I’m a failure, I’m a failure

Every time I run ahead of You

I fall on my face, I’m a failure

But You’re never too late to pull me through

Without You I’m nothing, I’m dust in the wind

But You call me son when I can’t even begin

In my weakness You’re strong, Your mercy won’t break

I’m made perfect in the nails, the blood, the grace

I’ve counted every scar I earned

Lessons that I never learned

Pride keeps whispering I’ll be alright

But midnight always proves it lied

Then I hear that quiet voice

The one that turns my mess to joy

Hands that hold the stars reach down

And lift this failure off the ground

I can’t carry it

I was never meant to

But You already did

On that cross You dragged for fools like me and You

I’m a failure, I’m a failure

Every time I run ahead of You

I fall on my face, I’m a failure

But You’re never too late to pull me through

Without You I’m nothing, I’m dust in the wind

But You call me son when I can’t even begin

In my weakness You’re strong, Your mercy won’t break

I’m made perfect in the nails, the blood, the grace

It’s not that I win, it’s that You already won

Every war inside me when I lay my weapons down

I stop trying to be God, and I just let You be God

That’s the only time this broken man is ever found

I’m a failure! Yeah, I’m a failure!

But You love this failure anyway

You catch me every time, every time I fall on my face

Without You I’m nothing, less than nothing

But with You, with You all things are possible

I’m made perfect, I’m made perfect

In Your grace, in Your grace

So here I am again

Knees in the dirt, hands in the air

I’m a failure…

But I’m Yours

And that’s enough
