Over And Over
Kry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have seen my heart grow cold
to things I once held close
Things You've shown to me
I have looked into Your eyes
I've seen the tears You've cried
Times I've walked away

Over and over again

Still Your mercies never end
Freely You forgive
And You wash away my sins

I'm a pilgrim on this earth and it's You I want to serve
But so many times I will fall
So I set my mind on things above
Resting in Your love
'Til you take me home

Over and over again
I see how weak I am
I need forgiveness again
So on Your promise I will stand

You are faithful and just to forgive
Until I'm with You there in heaven

Over and over again
I will bow before the Lamb
You have forgiven my sin
You have made me whole again

Over and over again
Still Your mercies never end

I need forgiveness again
So on Your promise I will stand
