Wrong again Father, I hate to tell you this You taught me how to hit the mark And once again I missed Touch the fire You always said that I'd get burned Why is it so hard To remember all the lessons I have learned How can you look at me that way When I have failed so many times Showing me love, you tell the world This child is mine (this child is mine) How can you walk that extra mile I see forgiveness in your smile So sure you'd reject me Wrong again Once again Lord, I have wandered from your path Thought I knew a better way Coming short of what you've asked Standing here I don't deserve a second chance And I can't conceal The shame I feel It's more than I can stand How can you look at me that way When I have failed so many times Showing me love, you tell the world This child is mine (this child is mine) How can you walk that extra mile I see forgiveness in your smile So sure you'd desert me Wrong again When I look into your face And see the power of your grace I find it so hard to believe Forgiveness that your showing me I see the answer in your eyes Love and mercy realized And finally your truth has set me free How can you look at me that way When I have failed so many times Showing me love, you tell the world This child is mine How can you walk that extra mile I see forgiveness in your smile I thought you would scold me Instead you just hold me Thought you would judge me Instead you just love me So sure you'd reject me Wrong again
