[INTRO] Yeah... Sometimes God gotta let you lose yourself Before you realize you need Him... I know... I've been there. [VERSE 1] I knew God was there, but I never gave Him all of me Violence, drugs, women, chasing money was the life I chose to see I needed validation, thought the streets would give me what I lacked Every dollar, every high, every woman had me running from the facts Jail cells started teaching me the price behind my choices Had my children with no plan, couldn't silence all those voices Lost years chasing things that left me empty when they faded Thought I could handle life alone, never knowing I was jaded Then I joined the military, saw some things that changed my view In the middle of that war, I started crying out to You When I couldn't see tomorrow, I said, “Lord, protect my life” Guide me through this environment, keep me steady through the fight I wasn't perfect, but I knew that I needed something more Started learning how to trust You, started opening Your door Looking back, I see Your hand was reaching for me all along From the streets into Your presence, now I'm learning where I belong [PRE-HOOK] When you can't see the road, He'll lead you When you can't carry the weight, He'll hold you When you think you've gone too far Look up and remember who You are [HOOK] It don't matter where you came from, He can change your life It don't matter what you did, His love can make it right When the world says you're too far, He says, “Come back home” When you're walking through the dark, He'll never leave you alone I was lost in the streets, now I'm standing on faith Had my hands on the wheel, but He took my mistakes From the block to the Cross, yeah, He carried my soul I thought I knew how to live, now I'm letting God take control [VERSE 2] My transformation ain't perfect, I still stumble on the way Some days my faith is strong, some days I struggle just to pray Had to learn that following Christ don't mean the road won't hurt Sometimes you lose the things you love, and that's when faith gets tested first Lost family members, carried questions buried in my chest Asked God why You keep taking those I love, I gave You my best Held that anger deep inside, didn't know how to let it go But You taught me trust the process when I couldn't understand the road Trust God, trust His timing, trust the path He made for you Even when the plan gets painful, keep believing He'll pull you through Don't compare your journey, God ain't writing theirs the same Stay focused on the calling, keep on walking in His name I'm still learning, still growing, but I'm further than before I don't wanna be that stubborn man who thought he knew it all Now when God says move, I'm trying hard to listen and obey I may stumble on the journey, but I'm choosing Him each day [HOOK] It don't matter where you came from, He can change your life It don't matter what you did, His love can make it right When the world says you're too far, He says, “Come back home” When you're walking through the dark, He'll never leave you alone I was lost in the streets, now I'm standing on faith Had my hands on the wheel, but He took my mistakes From the block to the Cross, yeah, He carried my soul I thought I knew how to live, now I'm letting God take control [BRIDGE] Now I take His Word to the streets, let ’em know that He cares Tell ’em God still loves ’em, even when life ain't fair I ain't preaching like I'm perfect, I'm just telling what I know He kept blessing me and guiding me, everywhere I go Go where He sends you, don't be afraid His love is still reaching through the mistakes you made No matter how broken, no matter how lost There's always a way back to the Cross [FINAL HOOK 2X] It don't matter where you came from, He can change your life It don't matter what you did, His love can make it right When the world says you're too far, He says, “Come back home” When you're walking through the dark, He'll never leave you alone I was lost in the streets, now I'm standing on faith Had my hands on the wheel, but He took my mistakes From the block to the Cross, yeah, He carried my soul I thought I knew how to live, now I'm letting God take control It don't matter where you came from, He can change your life It don't matter what you did, His love can make it right When the world says you're too far, He says, “Come back home” When you're walking through the dark, He'll never leave you alone I was lost in the streets, now I'm standing on faith Had my hands on the wheel, but He took my mistakes [OUTRO] From the block to the Cross, I know He carried me From the darkness to the light, He showed me who to be If He can change my life, He can change yours too Come back to the Cross, He’s waiting on you.
