Don't Try So Hard Lyrics - How Mercy Looks From Here - Amy Grant

Another Monday comes and I just want to breathe 

'Cause it's a long, long week for someone wired to please 

I keep taking my aim and pushing it higher 

Wanna shine bright, even brighter now 

Wish I would tell myself 

Don't try so hard 

God gives you grace and you can't earn it 

Don't think that you're not worth it 

Because you are 

He gave you His love and He's not leaving 

He gave you His son so you'd believe it 

You're lovely even with your scars 

Don't try so hard 

Do you remember how the summers felt when we were kids 

Oh, we didn't think much about it 

We just lived 

Taking our time, beautiful leisure 

When did start trying to measure up 

When and all of this time, love has been trying to tell us 

Don't try so hard 

God gives you grace and you can't earn it 

Stop thinking you're not worth it 

Because you are 

He gave you His love and He's not leaving 

He gave you His son so you'd believe it 

You're lovely even with your scars 

Don't try so hard 

So open up your lovely heart 

And dont try so hard
