Laying My Life Down

Here I am once again

Laying my life down before you

And I mean it as much now as I did back then

I’m laying my life down again

And maybe it won’t take as long

Before I get to this point next time

But I forget in the daily busyness of life

That I’m supposed to live down on my knees

And I need to be reminded

I get brought back down to my knees again

And it usually comes with needing

to beg for forgiveness

Somehow, I forget my own weakness

I seem to think that I’m strong

I quickly find that I’m wrong

And still I struggle forever

Hoping I can get along

Why is it so hard for me to admit that I failed?

I know you can see when I’ve fallen

And I suddenly find myself on my knees

And I’m laying my life down again
