"A Thousand Times I've Failed"

All I Can Say is I’m Sorry

There’s nothing I can say
That’ll make it be ok
I can only say I’m sorry

I can’t make it up to You
I can’t take it back, though I want to
I can only say I’m sorry

This was never in my plan
I thought I’d do better and
I can only say I’m sorry

I am fearfully and wonderfully made,
At least that’s what they said in church today
And I can only say I’m sorry

I try to be good, I try to be brave
But I try to do it alone most days
And I can only say I’m sorry

I pray You’ll have mercy
And choose to forgive me
Though all I have to offer is, I’m sorry

I know it’s hardly anything
Compared to Your sacrifice on Calvary
But here it is, I’m sorry

God, You keep on giving even though
I can’t pay You back and You know
I can only say I’m sorry

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me
But please, Lord, hear my plea:
Search my heart and know, I’m sorry
