Falling forward

There are moments on this journey
If you ask me how I feel
It seems I'm moving backwards
Or, at least, just standing still
When I'm frozen in my failure
There's a whisper
"Don't forget!
Your redeemer somehow uses
Even what you most regret!"

Step by step
Day by day
I'm completely undone by the miracle of grace
And I'm amazed
I'm amazed through it all
Even when I fall
I'm falling forward

Your open arms are waiting
Your compassion takes me in
I have tasted sweet forgiveness
There is strength to stand again
As I'm caught up in your kindness
Once again I find
In heaven's love there's always hope
For every heart like mine

And step by step
Day by day
I'm completely undone by the miracle of grace
And I'm amazed through it all
Even when I fall
I'm falling forward

I have tears for the compromise I've known
But even more for the mercy you have shown

And step by step
Day by day
I'm completely undone by the miracle of grace
And I'm amazed through it all
Even when I fall
I'm falling forward

And I'm amazed through it all
Even when I fall
I'm falling forward
