Confession is good for the soul they say   Well now it's my turn   I'm willing to share all I've learned someday   But some days not willing to learn      I don't always like to be told    What's right from wrong   I'm selfish sometimes when I don't want to be   How can you stand me?   Oh Lord, why do you hold on?      Chorus:   I'm always talking about the way you blessed me, oh yeah   I'm always singing about how good you are   But I don't always tell   That it's despite of myself   You know I haven't been good   Some days I don't do what I should   Yet your mercy somehow endures.      There's no other love that compares to yours   It's hard to understand.   How you never repay me what I deserve   I think you that you're not like man   (Not like man)   See sometimes I desire to give hurt for hurt   Yet I know that's not like you   Yet this old flesh of mine tries to win every time   I'm grateful your word is true   You faithfully see me through      Chorus      Your mercy (Is good and it's kind)   Your mercy (Is brand new everyday)   Your mercy (Is ever lasting)
