Guitar intro [verse 1] I woke up in a room with no light Walls closing in, no end in sight My voice was gone, my soul was thin I wore my shame like second skin I chased the thrill, I drank the lie Built my throne on reasons why But every crown I tried to wear Cut deeper than the cross I bear [pre-chorus] I was hollow, I was numb Sinking fast, nowhere to run (run) I called out loud, but no one came Just echoes whispering my name [chorus] I was slipping, I was torn Buried deep, weather-worn But You saw me in the flood Reached through fire, through my blood I was broken, I was blind But You never left behind Now I stand, not ignored I’ve been redeemed I’ve been restored [verse 2] I danced with demons dressed in gold They promised peace, but left me cold I sold my truth for fleeting highs And stitched my wounds with hollow ties I cursed the sky, I cursed Your name Blamed the light for all my shame But still You waited, still You stayed While I burned bridges You had made [pre chorus] I was bitter, I was bruised Faith felt distant, love misused But in the silence, through the pain I heard You whisper once again [chorus] I was slipping, I was torn Buried deep, weather-worn But You saw me in the flood Reached through fire, through my blood I was broken, I was blind But You never left behind Now I stand, not ignored I’ve been redeemed I’ve been restored [bridge] You wore the thorns I tried to hide You took the nails I kept inside You bled for me when I turned away You rose again to light my way [chorus] I was slipping, I was torn But now I rise, reborn You saw me in the flood Washed me clean with holy blood I was broken, I was blind But now I see divine I’m not lost, I’m not ignored I’ve been redeemed (ive been redeemed) I’ve been restored (ive been restored) [poem while the instruments keep playing] You saw the scars I tried to hide, The shame I wore, the tears I dried. Yet still You called me by my name, And wrapped me in Your holy flame. Not earned, not bought, not won by might— Your love was grace, not human right. It bled through wood, it broke the grave, It reached the soul You came to save.
