I thought by now I’d have the answers
Instead my head is full of questions
So many hopes I’ve followed after
Are scattering in all directions
I know so much less than I used to
All my convictions have been shaken
But I would not go back if I could choose to
'Cause what remains cannot be taken
What remains cannot be taken
I thought by now I’d never fail You
Progress in unbroken procession
But in the death of pride and virtue
I’ve felt the birth of real compassion
I know so much more of forgiveness
Having received so great a measure
My scars only serve to bear witness
That what remains is mine forever
What remains is mine forever
I’m counting the cost of all that I have gained
I count it as loss compared to what remains
I know the taste of disappointment
That bitterness is now familiar
But if my failure was a poison
At least it’s made my vision clearer
Forgive me if I sound ungrateful
It’s just the shame of my confession
When time after time You’ve been faithful
I’m weary of my self-obsession
I've grown weary of my self-obsession
And I’m counting the cost of all that I have gained
I count it as loss compared to what remains
I know so much less than I used to
The path ahead remains uncharted
But if I don’t know the way, I know that You do
And You will finish what You’ve started
I know You’ll finish what You’ve started
