I KNEW THAT HE'LL CARRY ME ALL THE WAY

How many times has he got you out of trouble?
How many times out of those were you looking down another way?
How many times just before them would you have said
"He's going to carry me all the way?"
"Yes, He will."
How many times is it going to
take Him to have you learn that He'll vouch for you
when you need him to
and that you have no reason to ever fret?
How many times are you going to fool around
and not learn that when you should?
Only unless you're not good
He's heard you say so many times
The irony stronger with the next
"I knew that, yes, I knew that He'd carry me all the way."

How many times is he going to cut you any more slack?
How many more times until he confirms you worst fear?
How many times till he runs out of grace to give
because he gets nothing in return?
He never said it was free.
How many times are people going to give up on Him
because they think you've seen enough to know?
How many times are you going to claim his name
because there nothing else you know that you believe in?
How many times are you going to take his name
only to make more people believe
He's only as good as your faith is in Him

He's heard you say so many times
The irony stronger with the next
"I knew that, yes, I knew that He'd carry me all the way."

How many times is he going to hold himself
from doing to you what he prevents being done?
How many times is he going to doubt Golgotha's cross for you?
How many more times is He going to take an inconsequential method with you?
In order to get it through
How many times, how many more times is it going to be?
How many times until His face you will be able to see?
How many times for you to look and learn see and do and know
so when he comes with him, you can go

He's heard you say so many times
The irony stronger with the next
"I knew that, yes, I knew that He'd carry me all the way."
