Too Many Times

by Michael W. Smith & Deborah D. Smith

on Project (1982)



Who do I hope to finally be?

Is it not your life in me?

Yet the how's too hard to see

Too many times



Will I ever finally be

The true, intended me?

Will the old in me be freed

And left behind?



Chorus:

Too many times

I'm back inside

Wanting desperately to hide

Yet I know, I know you say

You have to die

Too many times

You hear my cries

I'm at the end of all my tries

So, I'm open Lord, so

Teach me how to die



Here I am again alone

Afraid I'll lose all that I own

Yet you see me as your own

I cannot fall



And what I am I still am not

At times I count the cost

Yet I find there's nothing lost

If I give it all



Chorus
