[Verse 1] Just when things got really bad The night came down harder Doors slammed shut in my face And fear kept getting louder I wore that weight like chains But I still took one more step You found me in the wreckage And You weren’t through with me yet [Pre-Chorus] When the shadow reached for me You spoke my name in fire When the ground gave way beneath You lifted me higher [Chorus] Things got worse But You got closer Things got worse But You got stronger I was in the dark Then came Your light I stood in the valley And survived the night Things got worse But evil broke [Verse 2] I saw the doubt in my hands I felt the tremble in my chest The enemy kept pressing in Still, You gave me rest I held on to a simple word Like a blade against the lie You turned my fear into a song And taught my soul to rise [Pre-Chorus] When the shadow reached for me You spoke my name in fire When the ground gave way beneath You lifted me higher [Chorus] Things got worse But You got closer Things got worse But You got stronger I was in the dark Then came Your light I stood in the valley And survived the night Things got worse But evil broke [Bridge] I will not bow to the ruin I will not kneel to the dread You already went before me And crushed what tried to spread Every chain came apart Every lie fell flat If You brought me through that valley You can bring me through this back [Final Chorus] Things got worse But You got closer Things got worse But You got stronger I was in the dark Then came Your light I stood in the valley And survived the night Things got worse But evil broke Things got worse But evil broke
