Lord, You hear me when I call, You catch me when I fall.
I wish I had always been perfect before Thee, But You were always there for me.
I wish I could say I have always pleased You, But this I could not do.
I wish I could say I have always obeyed,
But the price of obedience I have not always paid.
I wish I could say: You I do not grieve, Yet when I do You still don't leave.
You loved me when I was slack.
You blessed me so there was no lack.
I wish I could say I always did what was right, You still forgive me and brought me through my night.
You were there in my time of need, You took my hand to safely lead.
I wish I could say I have always trusted You.
When discouraged You still brought me through.
Not once did You walk away,
You were always there to this very day.
I wish I could say I have done my best, But when weary You gave me rest.
There are times when I stumble.
You pick me up without a grumble.
Even when I wasn't all that I should have been, You still blessed me over and over again.
With all my faults You never turned Your back on me.
The work You gave me I must finish for Thee.
