No one can accuse me on not trying
To make the most of this hand I’ve been dealt
No one can accuse me of not trying
To move past all the pain and fear I’ve felt
Turns out in the end that all my best attempts
Could never keep my weary heart from drowning

I can’t save myself
I can’t save myself
But coming to my rescue
Is what you do so well
And when my strength has failed
The story I will tell
Is how your love refused
To leave me on my own
When I couldn't save myself

I'm sure you've spent a lot of time just waiting
For me to wave the flag and just give up
And patiently you've waited with sweet mercy
Knowing my best wasn't good enough
I don't know why you stay
Why you love me this way
I sure want you to know that I am grateful

I can’t save myself
I can’t save myself
But coming to my rescue
Is what you do so well
And when my strength has failed
The story I will tell
Is how your love refused
To leave me on my own
When I couldn't save myself
Oh oh, oh, oh oh

Turns out in the end that all my best attempts
Could never keep my weary heart from drowning
I don't know why you stay
Why you love me this way
I sure want you to know that I am grateful

I can’t save myself
I can’t save myself
But coming to my rescue
Is what you do so well
And when my strength has failed
The story I will tell
Is how your love refused
To leave me on my own
When I couldn't save myself
Oh oh, oh, oh oh
When I couldn't save myself
Oh oh, oh, oh oh

So turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in his wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of his glory and grace
