Some days I start to think I know it all
And that's right about the time I trip and fall
And I'm right back where I started yesterday

It's like I'm back in junior high
With a pencil in my hand
Taking notes on all the subjects
That I'll never understand
That's exactly how it feels when I think about
The wonders of your grace

It's so elementary
But still somehow
It's a million miles over my head
Some days I get it, some days I think
I'm never gonna comprehend

Your love goes on and on
And on and on and on for me
It's so profound and at the same time
It's so elementary

Someday I hope to finally graduate
And I'm gonna walk right through the heavenly gates
And I'll bet you'll teach me like a child again

Just like I'm back in junior high
With a pencil in my hand
Taking notes on all the subjects
That I'll never understand
Gonna ask you lots of questions
And I'm sure you're gonna leave me amazed

It's so elementary
But still somehow
It's a million miles over my head
Some days I get it, some days I think
I'm never gonna comprehend

Your love goes on and on
And on and on and on for me
It's so profound and at the same time
It's so elementary

Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
All the little ones to him belong
We are weak but he is strong

It's so elementary
But still somehow
It's a million miles over my head
Some days I get it, some days I think
I'm never gonna comprehend

Your love goes on and on
And on and on and on for me
It's so profound and at the same time
It's so elementary
