I Fail

The song 'I Fail' is based on Romans 7&8. Written proof by his own hand that, yes, even Paul, the man who gave us most of the New Testament, failed.
The newest of Christians will fail. So will the most seasoned of pastors. Anyone who thinks they have achieved a level of their faith where they are no longer given to sin, will fail. Or do you suppose that you or your pastor are greater than the apostle who wrote that passage? If you think you are greater, guess what friend, you just failed.
Do you want to give thanks this November for something more real than who might win the football game? Read the words to this song. Give thanks to Jesus, who came here, before you, and let them hang Him on a cross to die the most unimaginable death for your sins. For every shortcoming, every failure that you will make or have ever made, He paid the price. Accept that free gift and give thanks to someone who gave their everything for you without you asking for it, let alone deserving it.



The words to the song:

i fail,
i fail,
i fail,
over and over again.

drive a nail,
drive a nail,
drive a nail,
to the cross of Christ for my sin, and again, and again.

I don't feel like
I deserve you
hanging in my place.
I Don't feel like
I'm at all worth
the price that you paid.

What a wretched
man I am!
Who can rescue me
from this body of death?
Only Christ
can set me free.

Thank you Lord for what You did for me.
That in spite of who I am You set me free.
Thank you Lord for what You did for me.
That in spite of who I am you wash me clean.

cause I....

i fail,
i fail,
i fail.

Drive a nail,
Drive a nail,
Drive another rusty nail.


Two hearts beat
within my breast.
One is foul and the other blest.
One I love,
One I hate.
The one I feed will dominate.

The man who said those
words sure knew
exactly what I'm going through.

Oh What a wretched
man I am!
Who can rescue me
from this body of death?
Only Christ
can set me free.

Thank you Lord for what You did for me.
That in spite of who I am You set me free.
Thank you Lord for what You did for me.
That in spite of who I am you wash me clean.

cause I....

i fail,
i fail,
i fail,
over and over again.

Drive a nail,
drive a nail,
drive a nail,
to the cross of Christ for my sin, and again, and again and again, and again.

(Romans 7, 8.  Hebrews 10:14)
