[V1]
 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  

[C]
 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  

[V2]
 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
 And you carry me across another line
 Hear me cry
 No more pride  

[T]
 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
