Just Gotta Ask

Yeah

I thought I had to earn it

Thought I had to clean myself up first

But God was waiting with open arms

All I had to do was ask

I've made mistakes that I wish I could erase Carried guilt and

shame like a weight I couldn't shake

I thought my failures put a distance between us But You were

calling my name, saying "Come back to Me"

I don't have to hide I don't have to run I don't

have to pretend That I'm already done I can fall on my

knees And confess what I've done And trust in Your mercy Through

Jesus the Son You don't ask me to pay For the debt

I can't afford You already made the payment When You gave Your

life, Lord

All I gotta do is ask And You meet me with Your

grace When I confess my sin You don't turn away

All I gotta do is ask You forgive and make me new

I don't have to carry shame When I can bring it all

to You

Your mercy is greater

Than the mistakes I've made Your love keeps calling Even when I've

gone astray All I gotta do is ask And put my faith

in You Sometimes I think my sin is too big

Too many failures, too far from where You live

But that's the enemy telling me That there's no way back But

Your Word tells me differently Your mercy reaches me

You don't want my perfection You want me to believe When I

confess my sin You are faithful and just You forgive my failures

And restore my trust I don't need to hide Behind excuses or

lies I can bring my broken heart Right into Your light Because

forgiveness isn't something That I have to earn It's a gift from

Your mercy Every time I return

I don't have to be afraid

I don't have to hide

I can bring my sin to You And leave it at Your

side Create in me a clean heart Renew my spirit,

Lord

Help me turn away from sin And walk with You once more

Your grace isn't permission To keep living the same It's the power

to change When I call upon Your name

So if you're sitting in the darkness Thinking God won't hear your

prayer

Don't believe the lie That He doesn't care Turn around Call His

name Confess your sin And trust His grace He isn't waiting to

destroy you He's calling you home The Father sees the heart That

finally lets go Forgiveness doesn't mean That what I did was okay

It means Christ paid the price And He made another way So

I'll leave my past behind And keep walking toward the light Not

because I'm perfect But because Your grace gives me life

All I gotta do is ask

And You meet me with Your grace

When I confess my sin

You don't turn away

All I gotta do is ask You forgive and make me new

I don't have to carry shame When I can bring it all

to You Your mercy is greater Than the mistakes I've made Your

love keeps calling Even when I've gone astray All I gotta do

is ask

And put my faith in You

I don't have to run I don't have to hide I can

come to You With everything inside Forgive me,

Lord

Change my heart

Help me walk with You And make a brand new start All

I gotta do is ask (All I gotta do is ask...)
