[Verse 1] I know the good I should pursue But I still lose my way The things I hate I fall into The things I love, I stray But You see every hidden fight Every restless heart You know the weakness of our frame You knew it from the start [Pre-Chorus] You formed us from the dust of earth You breathed in us Your life And still Your mercy calls us back Through every failing fight [Chorus] You remember we are dust Your mercy covers us Slow to anger, full of grace We lift our hearts, we seek Your face If we fall and call Your name You are faithful just the same You take our sins and carry them away Far as east is from the west [Verse 2] The flesh and Spirit war inside A battle for my soul But when I walk within Your truth Your Spirit takes control And when temptation blocks my path And darkness fills the way You remain forever true You always make a way [Pre-Chorus] So let my pride fall to the ground And let Your will increase [Chorus] You remember we are dust Your mercy covers us Slow to anger, full of grace We lift our hearts, we seek Your face If we fall and call Your name You are faithful just the same You take our sins and carry them away Far as east is from the west [Bridge 1] You must increase, I must decrease Let my striving finally cease Less of me and more of You Make my heart and spirit new [Bridge 2] When the trial comes like a flood You are faithful, You are good Every test that comes my way You provide the narrow way [Final Chorus] You remember we are dust Your mercy covers us Slow to anger, full of grace We lift our hearts, we seek Your face You forgive and You restore You remember sins no more Times of refreshing from the Lord For the hearts that turn again [Outro] Less of me and more of You Lead me in Your truth You remember we are dust Your mercy covers us [Fade.- instrumental]
