Chris Rice - Sam's Song lyrics

Gra** is always greener on the other side The search is never over in the pastures of my mind Is the meaning of happiness drowning in smiles Or that dreadful world I left behind? O Lord grant the grace to accept who I am Who I am, that You have designed I know there's a plan that you have up your sleeve Rabbi, teach me the faith to believe It's the only way my life will ever make sense to me Oh, la-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da I can never measure, 'cause better things are all around I'd be bitter and chained to the beauty I never found But the strength of my Lord's love, it shatters the scale And its depth gives a new peak to climb And it grants me the grace to accept who I am Who I am, that You have designed I know there's a plan that You have up Your sleeve Rabbi, teach me the faith to believe It's the only way my life will ever make sense to me And my resting place is taught by love It's the only peace I know of . . . oh I know of So when my heart is beaten by the standard of the law I just remember Jesus, and I've found my favor with God 'Cause the fire of my Lord's love it burns up the scale And its depth gives a new peak to climb And it grants me the grace to accept who I am Who I am, that You have designed And I know there's a plan that You have up Your sleeve Rabbi, teach me the faith to believe It's the only way my life will ever make sense to me Oh la-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da La-da-da, la-da-da La-da-da, da-da-da
