V5

i spent too many nights in silence with shadows filling up my room i thought my flesh could do the fighting until his word revealed the truth i couldn't save me my heart was failing it took the savior to set me free my striving's getting old, he rescued me no merit of my own, he holds the key i didn't chase the light, the light chased me his grace gave me the eyes to see [instrumental] the clock was ticking ever louder i tried to earn my own reprieve but sovereign grace is so much stronger he gave me faith to just believe i couldn't save me my heart was failing it took the savior to set me free my striving's getting old, he rescued me no merit of my own, he holds the key i didn't chase the light, the light chased me his grace gave me the eyes to see [instrumental] depravity had hold of me i had no will to seek the king but god ordained what was to be effectually he called to me my striving's getting old, he rescued me no merit of my own, he holds the key i didn't chase the light, the light chased me his grace gave me the eyes to see [instrumental] my striving's getting old (grace[soft whisper]) my striving's getting old (grace[soft whisper]) i boast in christ alone (grace[soft whisper]) for i am not my own
