Wrong again    Father, I hate to tell you this    You taught me how to hit the mark    And once again I missed       Touch the fire    You always said that I'd get burned    Why is it so hard    To remember all the lessons I have learned       [Chorus]   How can you look at me that way    When I have failed so many times    Showing me love, you tell the world    This child is mine    How can you walk that extra mile    I see forgiveness in your smile    So sure you'd reject me    Wrong again       Once again    Lord, I have wandered from your path    Thought I knew a better way    Coming short of what you've asked    Standing here    I don't deserve a second chance    And I can't conceal    The shame I feel    It's more than I can stand       [Chorus]   How can you look at me that way    When I have failed so many times    Showing me love, you tell the world    This child is mine    How can you walk that extra mile    I see forgiveness in your smile    So sure you'd desert me    Wrong again       When I look into your face    And see the power of your grace    I find it so hard to believe    Forgiveness that your showing me    I see the answer in your eyes    Love and mercy realized    And finally your truth has set me free       [Chorus]   How can you look at me that way    When I have failed so many times    Showing me love, you tell the world    This child is mine    How can you walk that extra mile    I see forgiveness in your smile       I thought you would scold me    Instead you just hold me    Thought you would judge me    Instead you just love me    So sure you'd reject me    Wrong again
