So proud and excited that I by myself

Have reached such a lofty place

I took the last step toward my ultimate goal

But clumsily fell on my face

I opened my eyes only to find

I was back at the place I’d begun

Helpless and broken, I strained and cried out

Surely the enemy has won



I felt his peace that passes understanding

Grace that is never ending

Love that overflows my soul

I felt his peace that passes understanding

Grace that is never ending

Love overflows my soul



As I wallowed in self pity, He came to sit with me there

His presence alone was so rich and so deep

It chased away all my despair

I said, ‘Lord please forgive me for my prideful heart,

It sneaks in before I know.’

He said, ‘What prideful heart?’ He forgave and forgot

He said, ‘How I want you to know…



My peace that passes understanding

Grace that is never ending

Love that overflows my soul.’

His peace that passes understanding

Grace that is never ending

Love that overflows my soul



Now how daily I humble myself at His feet

I make His desire my will

For He’s taken my higher than I have ever been

And He’s taking me higher still



With his peace that passes understanding

Grace that is never ending

Love that overflows my soul

Oh peace, grace, love that overflows my soul

My soul
