I just realized my big mistake
Just trying to do things on my own
And God was always there waiting
For my call that I'd not shown

I kept on putting Him on hold
Not knowing I needed Him so much
I drifted away from my walk with Him
Guilt swept me up by His touch

Then I remembered His love for me
Shameful tears streamed down my face
I said sorry and He just forgave
For the first time, I felt His amazing grace
