[00:02.47]I tried Lord
[00:04.77]I tried Lord
[00:07.85]I tried hard to be Your good little boy
[00:10.55]Chin up, head high
[00:12.14]All zeal and no joy
[00:13.87]Thinking all my good deeds could please Jesus
[00:16.39]Boy, was I wrong
[00:19.31]Though I knew the right songs, 
[00:20.81]all my cymbals and gongs played the melodies wrong
[00:23.39]And it wasn’t long ‘til I saw my disease
[00:25.89]A life spent wanting to please
[00:27.57]On hands and knees
[00:28.60]To make right, to appease
[00:29.80]God help me please
[00:30.95]This can’t be Christianity, it can’t be
[00:32.58]The whole thing’s like insanity
[00:34.94]Where’s the rest of eternal security?
[00:37.17]Where’s the hope of a 
[00:38.05]God big enough to cope with all my hang-ups and insecurities?
[00:41.69]Certainly this isn’t breathing
[00:43.31]My chest burning and heaving
[00:45.09]It’s like my pulse is ceasing
[00:47.23]Like my heart quits beating 
[00:55.10]Yet this I recall to mind and therefore I have hope:
[01:02.27]You died, Lord
[01:05.59]You died, Lord
[01:09.30]Assuredly, like the coming of the dawn, the Father’s love song goes on
[01:14.89]Drowning out my bitter songs
[01:16.92]And breaking through walls and barriers
[01:19.37]Christ swoops in, removes sin, picks up His bride and carries her 
[01:24.12]So I can sing in agreement with the King this thing:
[01:27.58]There’s only one thing that pleases the Father
[01:31.93]The God-man on the tree in the midst of the scoffers
[01:36.14]Now I finally see that Christ is what Christ offers
[01:41.06]And I’m finally free in the love of the Father
[01:45.97]
