Can You keep Your promise to me when I am unfaithful?
Can You keep Your promise to me then?
Though I don't deserve Your gracious hand
Lord God, shine Your blinding light
Overwhelm the darkness
Does it apply at the bottom?
Where there's no light at the bottom?
When life has discarded me, left me for dead?
Can I rely on Your promise?
I heard You calling me, but I hid
You told me no, but I did
The charges against me, will they condemn me?
Can You forgive me? Can You convince me?
I believe, help my unbelief
You can see what is underneath
Sewing fig leaves, trying to fix me, can You intercede
Please, for me, Jesus
Can You keep Your promise to me when I am unfaithful?
Can You keep Your promise to me then?
Though I don't deserve Your gracious hand
Lord God, shine your blinding light
Overwhelm the darkness
If nothing can separate us right
Then why I feel separated like
As far as the day is from the night?
All my prayers breaking through my plight
You said it was given and shed for the remission of sin
When we take wine and with bread
Say they're His body and blood
Same body resurrected, justify me and elected
Provided with me with absolution
Plus and private confession, consciousness still accusing
Guess the law did its thing
Repentance brought to my knees, in my coffin I bleed
But with the office of keys, pastor taught me I'm free
On the cross then was paid, it's not by works that I'm saved
Though I'm serving my neighbor
That's not the basis for salvation at all
Can't separate us from the love of God
I hear Your call even when I fall flat
And when it's hard to walk I can crawl back, You carry me
By You I'm being brought back
Your faithful when I'm not the Scriptures taught that
Your word is active and it makes alive
Word and sacraments, baptized
Body, blood through bread and wine
Faith, cling to the promise of God
Though my feelings fail me again
And I don't feel like I'm forgiven
I don't deserve forgiveness
I confess it, but by faith believe yes to these questions
Can You keep Your promise to me when I am unfaithful?
Can You keep Your promise to me then?
Though I don't deserve Your gracious hand
Lord God, shine your blinding light
Overwhelm the darkness
