(Intro) Yea... Jesus was always there... watching me even though I didn't see... didn't always believe..., He was always there... so thank you..., thank you for always guiding me and for never... ever giving up on me... (Verse 1) (yea....) Before the poison took my mind, before the fall, I was just a ghost, backed against the wall. Staring down the barrel, wishin' someone would call, He was there, catchin' me when I'd crawl. Almost drowned in that river of doubt, but He wouldn't let me. A silent witness, watchin' my every sin, Kept my heart beatin' when it shouldn't have been. (Pre-Chorus) Stuck in the dark, had nowhere to go, Thought my battle was a hopeless show, Then a light broke through, started to glow, Showed me a new way, helped me to grow. (Chorus) Jesus saved me, through the hardest days, Thank you for everything, in so many ways, Broke the chains, that held me for years' maze, Lifted me up, through life's crazy craze. (Verse 2) Chasin' ghosts in the city lights, day and night, Drownin' my soul, losin' every ounce of light. Just another fix to get by, just another hit, Numbin' the hurt, the tears I couldn't quit. Drugs hit hard, a fire in my blood, Hurtin' everyone I loved, gettin' swallowed by the flood. Stared at the end, a desperate desire, Left alone with a stranger in the mirror, down to the wire. But He reached down in the wreckage, with a savior's desire. (Pre-Chorus) Stuck in the dark, had nowhere to go, Thought my battle was a hopeless show, Then a light broke through, started to glow, Showed me a new way, helped me to grow. (Chorus) Jesus saved me, through the hardest days, Thank you for everything, in so many ways, Broke the chains, that held me for years' maze, Lifted me up, through life's crazy craze. (Bridge) Took my darkness and showed me the light, Changed my whole world and gave me back my fight. Broke me down to nothing, then healed every piece, Scars still there, but now they bring me peace. You found me in that lonely place, and lifted me from the grave, Laid a new path before me with a love so true, a new life to pave. Thank you, Lord, for everything You are, Thank you, Lord, for shining down your star. (Verse 3) From the bottom up, standin' strong, Broke the chains, where I went wrong, New path now, where I belong, Every breath, a quiet prayer along with a grateful song, Steady walk, where I'm headin' on, Thank you Jesus, you made me strong. Lost some people, that's just the truth, Saw my reflection, wasted my youth, Had to face up, nothing to prove, Cut ties with the bad, made a fresh move. (Verse 4) Cleaned the dust off this broken soul, found some relief, Plantin' new seeds where the weeds once grew, lettin' go of that grief. Used to live in the shadow of fear, Now I got new memories to hold, year after year. Left the old mess in the rearview, ain't lookin' back, Just a slow, steady walk on this brand-new track. Holding on to these quiet moments, always close, This peaceful life, yeah, that's how it goes. 'Cause sometimes I still stumble, sometimes I fall, But I hear His whisper, answering my call. He picks me up gently, when I'm feelin' small, Keeps me from breakin' down, keeps me through it all. He taught me how to walk again, before I could crawl, He's the only reason I stand, the reason I give my all. (Pre-Chorus) No longer lost, and no longer alone, On a path He's laid out, I no longer have any doubt. (yea....) (Final Chorus) Jesus saved me, through the hardest days, (Jesus saved me...) Thank you for everything, in so many ways, (Thank you...) Broke the chains, that held me for years' maze, (Broke the chains...) Lifted me up, through life's crazy craze. (Outro) Yeah... Jesus is always there... Still guiding me... showing me the way... Forever grateful... every single day... No more falling... just rising... every day... Thank you, Jesus... thank you everyday.
