How Many Times lyrics

I thought about You, when I was sinking on a boat in the sea
The waves were crashing all around and You came to rescue me
Then I forgot about You, while I was fighting with my family
Careless words not meant to hurt, but they still hurt anyway

It’s so hard not to think about tomorrow, when I’m standing on shifting sand
Trying to find some solid ground when all I need to do is take Your hand

How many times do You have to prove Your love for me to understand?
How many times have You shown me Your grace is enough? Again and again.
Still, You leave the 99 for me… how many times?

I learned about You, in every way I thought I could
I tried to seek Your face between the lines inside this book
But I couldn’t make sense of it, until I understood
That even in unanswered prayers, Your plans are still good

It’s so hard not to think about tomorrow, when the storm is raging on
Trying to save myself when all I need is You to carry me home

How many times do You have to prove Your love for me to understand?
How many times have You shown me Your grace is enough? Again and again.
Still, You leave the 99 for me… how many times?

You set the earth in the heavens, hung every star in the sky
Then condescended beyond all measure and gave up Your life for mine

How many times do You have to prove Your love for me to understand?
How many times have You shown me Your grace is enough? Again and again.
Still, You leave the 99… lay down Your life…
to seek this wandering heart of mine… how many times?
