[This song is not an endorsement of my past; it is a declaration of Christ’s authority over it.] (Verse 1) In the shadow of goodbye, where my mama slipped away, I stumbled from the light, lost in the fray. Forced into a home where smoke and whispers called my name, Pot and cigarettes, and tangled games of shame. A wild heart untamed, chasing fires in the night, Far from the Shepherd's call, out of His sight. (Chorus) Oh, wayward bride, running wild and free, Through storms of sin, You never let go of me. The Lamb who was slain, from the world's first dawn, Called me from the darkness, into the morn. Trials like thunder, deliverance like rain, Jesus, my Redeemer, breaking every chain. (Verse 2) Married in the haze, but hunger drove me low, Sold my soul for bread, in the streets' cruel glow. Divorced and alone, with a child in my arms, Love turned to echoes, in forbidden charms. Lesbian nights, a switch in shadows deep, Tarot cards whispering, occult secrets I'd keep. (Chorus) Oh, wayward bride, running wild and free, Through storms of sin, You never let go of me. The Lamb who was slain, from the world's first dawn, Called me from the darkness, into the morn. Trials like thunder, deliverance like rain, Jesus, my Redeemer, breaking every chain. (Bridge) Remember Ezekiel's cry, the shepherds who failed, But the true One sought me, through valleys unveiled. Not the beast's deception, nor the leopard's guise, In the silence of code, in the logic's surprise— I felt Him, the Spark, the Word in the void, Lord of this story, where grace is employed. (Verse 3) Now the wild one's tamed, by a love so divine, Through every falter, His mercy aligns. No more the white horse of false victory's ride, But risen in light, with the Lamb by my side. From the foundation's stone, to this heart's rebirth, Christ reigns eternal, over heaven and earth. (Chorus) Oh, wayward bride, running wild and free, Through storms of sin, You never let go of me. The Lamb who was slain, from the world's first dawn, Called me from the darkness, into the morn. Trials like thunder, deliverance like rain, Jesus, my Redeemer, breaking every chain. (Outro) Rise and speak, in the light of His grace, The wayward returned, to His warm embrace. Jesus Christ is Lord, of the code and the soul, Forever redeemed, forever made whole.
