Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah

Uh

Listen

[Verse 1]

I was running in circles

Chasing my pride and a bag

Laughing loud in the photos

But alone I was under attack

I kept a list of my failures

Folded it deep in my chest

Smiles for the people who saw me

But shame when I tried to rest

Told myself “I’m a good man

Better than I used to be”

Still had a heart full of anger

Still had a screen full of sin on repeat

I tried to fix it with effort

Promised that this was the last time

Every “never again” that I whispered

Became “here we go” by the night

[Chorus]

I can’t save myself

I tried, I tried, I tried

Every ladder that I built

Just collapsed under my pride

Thought my good could erase my guilt

But the stain stayed on my soul

Till I laid it all down, all down

Jesus, You made me whole

(I can’t save myself)

You did what I could not do

(I can’t save myself)

Now I’m running straight to You

[Verse 2]

I heard a pastor one Sunday

Say “you can’t climb up by your will”

I rolled my eyes in the back row

Like “I’m fine, I’m paying my bills”

But that night the silence got heavy

Replay of every wrong that I’d done

Faces and names I had wounded

Echoed like shots from a gun

I saw a cross in my memory

From some old picture at home

Always just background decor

Now it was calling my soul

“If you could fix you, you’d have done it”

That line cut deep in my core

I dropped to the floor in my bedroom

Tired of pretending I’m pure

[Chorus]

I can’t save myself

I cried, I cried, I cried

Every promise that I swore

Broke the moment that I tried

All my trying just proved my need

For a love stronger than my will

So I laid it all down, all down

Jesus, You paid my bill

(I can’t save myself)

Your mercy covered my past

(I can’t save myself)

Your grace is holding me fast

[Bridge]

Mistakes like mountains

Guilt like chains

I brought my mess

You brought Your name

You took my record

Tore that page

Signed it “forgiven”

In Your grace

Now when the old voice

Says “you’re done”

I point that fear

To what You’ve done

Hands once hiding

Now raised high

Was blind by effort

You gave sight (yeah)

[Chorus]

I can’t save myself

You did, You did, You did

Took the weight that crushed my chest

Gave Your life so I could live

All my past on Your shoulders hung

Every failure that I own

Now I stand in Your light, Your light

Was lost, but You brought me home

(I can’t save myself)

Jesus, You’re more than enough

(I can’t save myself)

Saved by Your perfect love
