Lyrics- How could you?- Olabisi Royalty

Lyrics
Sometimes undeserving
Other times unbelieving
Most times just unworthy
But You have loved me still

How could You love me
How could You love me
How could You love me so

Your grace so amazing
New mercy every morning
Your love so unfailing
And compassion never ending
I see how much You love me
A wretched man as me

How could You love me
How could You love me
How could You love me so


Nowhere in all the world
Can you find a love so greater?
No one and no other
Can do me any better

(I couldn’t love like you can)
(I wouldn’t love me as you have)
I know I love myself but then I can not love me like you do.
Protect me like you do, give to me like you do and forgive me like you do.
Nobody better, nobody better to me.
I couldn't love me,  You'd  never cast me away.

I see Your mercies on me
(Yeah… yeah… yeah)
Oh I see, I see
(Yeah…yeah… yeah)
Oh, I will never forget
How You brought me from the miry clay
You put my feet on the rock to stand
You make me sit among the princes
Oh, look where you brought me
Look what you done for me, oh God...
You exalted my head
Thou oh Lord art a shield for me..
Daily I see You, I see Your love around me.
