Time and Again

You called me into being
Offered me perfect bliss
Until I came to know of sin
Deceived with an evil hiss
You picked me out and showed me your grace
Yet I twisted your love
And turned from your face Time and again
Then you came to walk with me
Called me out by name
You humbly washed my dirty feet
Told me to do the same
Still when the cock crowed
The sun yet to shine
Your eyes burned my soul
I'd denied you three times
Time and again
Sometimes, I wonder how long it can last.
How long can you love me, forgiving my past?
I hurt you and mock you, still, like a true friend,
You offer compassion, time and again
Time and again
A love that never ends
Reaches down to hold me
Just like you always told me
Brings me back into Your love
Gives me strength to rise above
The sin and death my hands have wrought
Reminding me that my soul has been bought
By the sinless blood of Jesus, your Son
And the words of forgiveness surely will come
Time and again
Offered me perfect bliss
Until I came to know of sin
Deceived with an evil hiss
You picked me out and showed me your grace
Yet I twisted your love
And turned from your face Time and again
Then you came to walk with me
Called me out by name
You humbly washed my dirty feet
Told me to do the same
Still when the cock crowed
The sun yet to shine
Your eyes burned my soul
I'd denied you three times
Time and again
Sometimes, I wonder how long it can last.
How long can you love me, forgiving my past?
I hurt you and mock you, still, like a true friend,
You offer compassion, time and again
Time and again
A love that never ends
Reaches down to hold me
Just like you always told me
Brings me back into Your love
Gives me strength to rise above
The sin and death my hands have wrought
Reminding me that my soul has been bought
By the sinless blood of Jesus, your Son
And the words of forgiveness surely will come
Time and again
