Although I’ve tried to be your servant and follow you,
Live out your standards and seek your face,
Although I strove to be always faithful and always true,
I’ve failed so often, all I can say is I need your grace.

Oh Lord, I need your grace.

There was a time when I thought that I was pretty good,
I thought my actions were in their place.
It took so long until I heard you speaking and understood
That I am nothing, and can do nothing without your grace.

Oh Lord, I need your grace.

I can’t go on, my efforts have left no trace,
Oh Lord, I can’t go on.
Take my life, oh Lord, and make me holy.

I need your grace.

-Marco Klaue and Rob Veith

(We tried to go for a diverse, semi-ethnic feel on this, but I always find that we never had a clear idea of where we wanted the song to go, musically. It’s one I’d really like to do again, perhaps in an ethno-fusion version)
