It seems I don't care about You when I say I care about You
When You love me all the time You know it's true.
I can't seem to bring myself to live for You and no one else.
Why can't I do what I want to do?

I try to do right but instead I do wrong, I can't seem to get where I know I belong
Results of my actions affect everyone. I can't stand what I've become!

I (I) can't save me
I (I) need someone to pay for me
I (I) can't save me
God (God) thank You for saving me

Today I thought about giving it all to You,
Then I decided to do what I wanted, no regard for You.
I realize that it's not myself and only You and no one else.
Lord, I give it all to You.

I should get better and better each day, instead I do worse, I don't want to obey.
I really love You, although You can't see effort on my part, oh God save me!

I (I) can't save me
I (I) need someone to pay for me
I (I) can't save me
God (God) thank You for saving me

I (I) can't save me
I (I) need someone to pay for me
I (I) can't save me
God (God) thank You for saving me

I say I love You and I slap You on the face.
You take it willingly, extending Your grace.
I say I love You, then I put the stripes on Your back.
It's by those stripes I'm healed to give the righteousness I lack.
I say I love You and I peirce you in the side,
It's in Your death the price is paid, You gave Your life for mine.
I say I love You but it seems like empty lies,
I don't understand Jesus, why did You die?
