[Verse 1] I thought my heart was stronger, I thought my vow would stand, But fear came like a winter storm And I let go of Your hand. I wandered toward the shadows, Toward comforts old and cold, I drank from broken cisterns That never healed my soul. [Pre-Chorus] But even in the distance, Even in the night, Your mercy kept a lantern Burning in my sight. [Chorus] You found me where I fell, You heard me where I cried, I came back empty-handed, You pulled me to Your side. I thought my shame would end me, I thought I’d gone too far, But You restored the wounded place And held my trembling heart. You found me where I fell, And You loved me still. [Verse 2] I tried to hide the hunger, The ache I could not name, I dressed my fear in silence, But You saw through the shame. You did not call me filthy, You did not turn away, You stepped into the ruins And taught my soul to pray. [Pre-Chorus] Not every wound is mended By hands of flesh and bone, Some rooms only open When You come in alone. [Chorus] You found me where I fell, You heard me where I cried, I came back empty-handed, You pulled me to Your side. I thought my shame would end me, I thought I’d gone too far, But You restored the wounded place And held my trembling heart. You found me where I fell, And You loved me still. [Bridge] I ran, but You pursued me, I broke, but You remained, I bowed beneath the sorrow, You called me by my name. No chain can keep what You have claimed, No night can steal Your light, The Bride may stumble in the dust, But You raise her dressed in white. [Final Chorus] You found me where I fell, You met me in the fire, You took the tangled, hidden thing And touched the deepest wire. I thought my failure named me, But mercy spoke instead, The tomb was not the ending, Lord, And neither is this dread. You found me where I fell, You loved me through the shame, I rise because You called me Yours, Restored me by Your Name. [Outro] I came back trembling, You came back kind. I gave You all the broken places, You said, “Child, you are Mine.”
