You heard my cry and You saw my need
With a Father's love, You reached down for me
And like a child learning right from wrong
You keep teaching me and make Your ways my own
Sometimes I feel it's more than I can bear
Well, I slip and stumble, but You're always there

Lord, Your love gets in the way
Every time I fall
Every time I think
There's no hope for me at all
When it seems my fate
Is to drown in my mistakes
Lord, Your love gets in the way

Some days go by without a fight
And some days I can't do anything right
I do my best just to stay on track
But it's one step forward and two steps back
And when I'm feeling like I can't go on
I lean on You, Lord, 'cause You're always strong

Lord, Your love gets in the way
Every time I fall
Every time I think
There's no hope for me at all
When it seems my fate
Is to drown in my mistakes
Lord, Your love gets in the way, yeah
I start to wonder if I missed my call
The things I want to do I can't do at all
Your love keeps leading me right back to You
In spite of everything I do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Lord, Your love gets in the way
Every time I fall
Every time I think
There's no hope for me at all
When it seems my fate
Is to drown in my mistakes
Lord, Your love gets in the way, yeah

Lord, Your love gets in the way
Yeah, yeah
(Time I fall)
Every time, well, every time I think
That there's no hope at all, yeah, yeah
(Seems my fate, my mistakes)
Lord, Your love gets in the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(In the way, time I fall)
(Time I think, hope at all)
When it seems my fate
Is to drown in my mistakes
Lord, Your love gets in the way
Yeah, yeah
