I used to think grace was a ladder
Every sinner had to climb
If only I could just do better
I could earn it over time

Tried to work my way to good
Trouble is I never could
But then You showed me
Just exactly how grace works

I'm good at always fallin' down
You're good at never givin' up
I'm good at gettin' turned around
You're good at sayin' I'm still loved

And I was wrecked by mercy
The day I understood
I'm not loved because I'm worthy
I'm loved because You're good

I think Paul wrote the book of Romans
For people just like me
For all the beat up and the broken
Who need to know that grace is free

Why do I do the things I shouldn't?
And I don't do the things I should
That's just the proof
You're the only part of me that's good

I'm good at always fallin' down
You're good at never givin' up
I'm good at gettin' turned around
You're good at sayin' I'm still loved

And I was wrecked by mercy
The day I understood
I'm not loved because I'm worthy
I'm loved because You're good

Loved because You're God
I'm loved because You're faithful to me even when I'm not
Oh God You are so good
When there's nothin' good in me
Just a grateful sinner saved by You is all I have to be

I'm good at always fallin' down
You're good at never givin' up
I'm good at gettin' turned around
You're good at sayin' I'm still loved

And I was wrecked by mercy
The day I understood
I'm not loved because I'm worthy
I'm loved because You're good

Loved because You're God
I'm loved because You're faithful to me even when I'm not
Oh God You are so good
When there's nothin' good in me
Just a grateful sinner saved by You is all I have to be

And I was wrecked by mercy
The day I understood
I'm not loved because I'm worthy
I'm loved because You're good
