Verse 1:
I woke up this morning,
another dose of chaos ahead of me
I got so many things running through my head,
and I wonder why I even got out of bed
I got up, got ready, and hurried out the door,
I didn’t realize I’d missed my time with You, Lord.
Chorus:
Have I taken Your grace for granted?
Have I accepted Your gift of life,
As anything less than extraordinary?
I have forgotten what I am most thankful for.
Thank You for living, thank You for loving,
thank You for dying for me
Verse 2:
I lay my head down and try to go to sleep,
You remind me of all the chances
I had but didn’t take today
To show Your love, Your grace and mercy,
To be the only Jesus someone might ever see
As I lay there wide awake and cry into my sheets,
I make promises for tomorrow, then the cycle repeats
Chorus 2:
Have I taken Your grace for granted?
Have I accepted Your gift of life,
As anything less than extraordinary?
I have forgotten what I am most thankful for.
Have I taken Your grace for granted?
Have I accepted Your gift of life,
As anything less than extraordinary?
I have forgotten what I am most thankful for.
Bridge:
And I try I try and try and try
But never pass the test
And I hide my face from the look in Your eyes
And I nail You to that cross
