Many Times ~ Debbie Looney ~ Living Each Day

Many times I've wanted to give up
I've wept so hard, and so long
Many times I've tried to fall away
Even though I knew it was wrong

So many times, thought myself unworthy
Amounting to nothing, in this life of mine
Too often I've considered escaping
And my faith's walked a very thin line

When giving up was the way I wanted to go
When nights and days all blended together
A tiny voice deep down in my soul
Told me His love was forever

A voice I have known all my lifetime
Lets me know that I am not alone
This voice speaks to me so softly
Even when my life's tossed, and thrown

I will never understand why He cares
As I'm a sinner, all covered in sand
I am blemished, so how could He love me?
But He always seems to stretch out His hand

God I'm sorry for all you have suffered
And I'm sorry for those times I've lost faith
I'm just awed by your constant forgiveness
But I'm so thankful for your loving grace
