[VERSE]
The enemy says I’m never gonna make it
(and) I can’t do enough to fix my past mistakes
That liar says that I won’t be forgiven
(And) I’ll never be deserving of the Savior’s grace
[PRE]
But God’s love says I’m worthy
Because of His great mercy…so
[CHORUS]
I’m tradin’ all those nevers for forever
Replacing all the ‘can’t do’s’
With Heavenly treasures…
Exchanging all the ‘won’t be’s’
For something so much better
I’m trading all those nevers for forever
[VERSE]
So when I hear those nevers start to whisper
You can’t do what’s right–you’ll never measure up
I start to think that I won’t be found faithful
And I’ll never have the chance to hear the words well done
[PRE]
But God’s love says I’m worthy
Because of His great mercy…so
[CHORUS]
I’m tradin’ all those nevers for forever
Replacing all the ‘can’t do’s’
With Heavenly treasures…
Exchanging all the ‘won’t be’s’
For something so much better
I’m trading all those nevers for forever
[BRIDGE]
Trading lies for the promise of eternity
Trading doubts for faith and claiming victory
Through Christ who strengthens me…
[CHORUS]
