How many times must I forget'
The sin inside of me will encourage me to slip
How many times must I forget'
These hands upon the wheel lead to circles of regret
How many times must I forget'
Walking on this narrow road is never second best

Beneath my skin, beyond my eyes
There lies the freedom to choose
But my choice I despise
How many times
How many ways
Every hour of every day
Do I run from your heavenly light'
How many times'

How many times must I forget'
To seek the truest love never wanting any less
How many times must I forget'
To when I'm feeling down do something for somebody quick
How many times must I forget'
To spread the gospel to the ears that haven't heard it yet

Beneath my skin, beyond my eyes'

It doesn't matter
How many times I fall
It doesn't matter
Your grace will lift me up
It doesn't matter
How many times I fall
It doesn't matter
You've cured me of my disease

Because of sin You bled and died
As a ransom for many, there's no one You'll deny
No matter- How many times, how many ways
Every hour of every day
We've run from Your heavenly light
No matter'how many times'
