You Are to Blame

I have been thinking a lot about God and His sovereignty and man and his depravity lately, and I just happened to listen to this song, You Are to Blame, by MercyMe. The words are simple, but the the message rings true and profound when you really think about it.

You Are to Blame
I'm not one to pass the blame
But this is one I cannot claim even if I wanted to
There's something happening
There's something going on with me
And I think I like the view from where I'm standing

You are to blame for anything that is good in my heart
You are to blame for this change that has taken me by storm

There's one thing I am wondering
What exactly do You see that makes You want to stay?
I don't deserve Your attention
Why would You ever mention me?
Why You're treating me this way remains a mystery

And I feel like I can fly
Knowing I am Yours
And knowing that You're mine
I cannot ask for more

Thank God that our salvation depends "not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy."
