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'd get burned
Why is it so hard
To remember all the lessons I have learned


How can 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 can you walk that extra mile

I see forgiveness in your smile
So sure you'd reject me
Wrong again


Once again
Lord, I have wandered from your path

Thought I knew a better way
Coming short of what 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 can 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 can 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 your showing me

I see the answer in your eyes
Love and mercy realized
And finally your truth has set me free


How can 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 can you walk that extra mile

I see forgiveness in your smile

I thought you would scold me

Instead you just hold me
Thought you would judge me
Instead you just love me

So sure you'd reject me
Wrong again
