How could you love me,
A sinner - and oh, so vain?
How could you love me,
When I fail You again and again?
How could you love me,
When I halfheartedly love you back?
How could you love me,
When I can't even stay on track?

Yet, somehow You love me,
Enough to suffer and die.
Yet, somehow You love me,
One who fails You as much as I.
Yet, somehow You love me,
Today, tomorrow and alway.
I don't know how you can love me
Day, after day, after day.

Help me to love You,
And put aside selfishness and pride.
Help me to love You,
And strive to walk close by your side,.
Help me to love You,
To live moment by moment for you.
Help me to love you,
And by Grace to your love remain true.
