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
