So proud and excited that I by myself Have reached such a lofty place I took the last step toward my ultimate goal But clumsily fell on my face I opened my eyes only to find I was back at the place I'd begun Helpless and broken, I strained and cried out Surely the enemy has won I felt his peace that pa**es understanding Grace that is never ending Love that overflows my soul I felt his peace that pa**es understanding Grace that is never ending Love overflows my soul As I wallowed in self pity, He came to sit with me there His presence alone was so rich and so deep It chased away all my despair I said, 'Lord please forgive me for my prideful heart It sneaks in before I know.' He said, 'What prideful heart?' He forgave and forgot He said, 'How I want you to know' My peace that pa**es understanding Grace that is never ending Love that overflows my soul.' His peace that pa**es understanding Grace that is never ending Love that overflows my soul Now how daily I humble myself at His feet I make His desire my will For He's taken my higher than I have ever been And He's taking me higher still With his peace that pa**es understanding Grace that is never ending Love that overflows my soul Oh peace, grace, love that overflows my soul My soul
