(Intro)
[Sound of a Hammond B3 organ swelling. Slow, soulful piano chords.]
(Spoken, tearful:)
I tried to fix it.
But I just made it worse.
I'm my own undoing.
(Verse 1)
[Beat enters - Slow 6/8 time. Swaying rhythm.]
I’m a victim... of my own undoing.
A shell of my past experience, stuck in the ruin.
Tore down by my mistakes, I just can’t seem to get away.
I’ve searched for my purpose...
And only gotten disappointments and regrets today.
(Regrets today...)
(Chorus)
[Choir joins in. Big, warm sound.]
PAIN IN HAPPINESS.
(It hurts...)
PAIN IN JOY.
(It hurts...)
PAIN IN SADNESS.
What can I do but settle in and wait?
The storm will end, I know it's not too late.
(It's not too late!)
But I wonder... oh, I wonder!
How He keeps on LOVING ME!
Regardless of my own undoing.
(Verse 2)
[Drums get a little stronger.]
I've weathered this storm before.
(Yes I have.)
But this time, I'm lying on the floor.
My own strength in these times...
It has to come from above!
(Send it down, Lord!)
And I look up with Thankfulness!
Amazed by His endless Love!
(Bridge)
[Music builds to a Gospel Climax!]
I broke it! (You fixed it!)
I lost it! (You found it!)
I ruined it! (You restored it!)
Grace! Amazing Grace!
How sweet the sound!
That saved a wretch like me!
(I was lost!)
(Guitar Solo)
[Crying, soulful Blues guitar solo.]
(Final Chorus)
[Maximum Soul! Belt it to the heavens!]
PAIN IN HAPPINESS.
PAIN IN JOY.
But I wonder... oh, Lord, I wonder!
How You keep on LOVING ME!
You keep on holding me!
You keep on saving me!
Regardless of my own undoing.
(Outro)
[Music fades with the organ.]
My undoing.
Your rebuilding.
(Spoken:) Thank you for loving me.
(Song ends.)
