If You Fail · letra

Failure is a four letter word That's common to us all Grace taken for granted Until the time we fall God's not a cynic And he doesn't take sin light But to think he won't forgive you Is a thought from the nightWhen you fail to meet "the standard" And feel like such a scum Don't drop out and give up Remember from where you've come God's not quitting now His work with you aint done In his eyes you're worth Every bit of his only sonIf you fail God's not through with you Don't try and bailThere's confessing to do Don't justify (your sin) Or try and strike a deal Repent and believe Forgiveness is for realDon't believe the lie That you have to live by a norm (standard) Why did Jesus die If we still have to perform? He took out failure on his back And nailed it to the cross The believers rest is knowing this And counting our strength as loss Forgiveness is a promise Made from God to man He forgives and forgets Like no one else can You can believe you're forgiven And not forgive yourself But if you don't apply the grace It might affect your healthGod leaves the ninety-nine To seek and find the one You may have blown it big time Yet you're still his son You think when you return A whipping you will find But you're thinking wrongly A kiss is on his mind Even if you betray him There's still hope for you Share with a trusted brother You know, he's fallen too All of us are human The words been truly spoken God can really use us When were on our knees and broken So dont look to programs Tongues, healing, or pretty things Just reach out to Jesus And the restoration he brings Quit wallowing in you failure And get yourself off your mind God uses broken vessels They're his favorite kind
