about

Song is about how in the midst of our sin and failures, there is great relief that comes from pleading before God in prayer that Christ lived a perfect life in our place. Song is inspired by a quote from A.J. Gordon.

lyrics

(Intro)
I often fail..
And cannot pray..
And do not love..
Believe or do anything..
I cannot tell..
You what relief..
It is to plead that Christ..
performed it for me perfectly..

(Verse1)
Look, just like that Serpent
Sometimes we seek our own worship
We got days like Adam did
Thinkin’ our provisions ain’t adequate
Other times like Noah
We indulge till we fall in a coma
But in ya desperation point to Christ
Who in ya place lived a righteous life
Sometimes like Abraham
We don’t trust God too busy fearing man
We all have them days like Job
Thinking that righteousness is our own
Other times like Moses
We take credit for the water that’s flowin’
In the midst of guilt and shame
Approach His throne in Jesus name

(Chorus)
I often fail..
And cannot pray..
And do not love..
Believe or do anything..
I cannot tell..
You what relief..
It is to plead that Christ..
performed it for me perfectly..
Cuz I’ve sinned... so many times
And I’ve been... falling behind
But He lived... a perfect life
And He gives... it to be mine

(Verse2)
Sometimes like David
We bite hooks the serpent has baited
Or we can be like Solomon
With ungodly people we following
Other times like Jonah
We try to runaway from Jehovah
What a comfort it is each morning
To plead a perfect life was lived for me
Sometimes like Samson
Doing right in our eyes is our anthem
Or we can act like Peter
And be ashamed to say we know Jesus
Other times like Thomas did
We struggle to believe in His promises
So.. when ya feel like ya might just quit
Just ‘member that ya covered in His righteousness, go!

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(Bridge)
My plea..
When I’m on.. my knees (my knees)
When I fail..
And my faith.. is weak (so weak)
When my guilt’s..
Overwhelmin’ me (it’s on me)
I plead how Christ..
Lived His life.. for me
(X2)

(REPEAT CHORUS)
