(Verse 1)
I see the path behind me, a road of wasted years,
Where stubborn pride and blindness, were sown with bitter tears.
I built my walls so high, kept my heart locked tight,
Ignoring all the whispers, of God's love and guiding light.

(Verse 2)
I have chased fleeting pleasures, shadows and lies,
Ignoring the sweet comfort, that only Jesus Christ supplies.
I sought my own salvation, through paths of pain and strife,
Deaf to the gentle counsels, that could have saved my life.

(Chorus)
Oh, the regret that lingers, a heavy weight I bear,
For not responding sooner, to God's grace that has been so near.
I pushed His love away, turned a blinded eye,
Now I see His tender mercy, and I wish I'd been more wise.

(Bridge)
But His grace is unrelenting, a river ever free,
Washing over my failings, setting my spirit free.
He welcomes my repentance, He forgives and understands,
He offers His forgiveness, with His open, loving hands.

(Chorus)
Oh, the regret that lingers, a heavy weight I bear,
For not responding sooner, to God's grace that has been so near.
I pushed His love away, turned a blinded eye,
Now I see His tender mercy, and I wish I'd been more wise.
Now I see His tender mercy, and I wish I'd been more wise.

(Outro)
Yet even in my sorrow, His love shines ever bright,
A beacon in the darkness, guiding me toward the light.
Now I'll never let Him go again, His grace I'll always keep,
And thank Him for His mercy, that I could awake from my sleep.
