[Verse 1] I’ve stood in the wreckage of prayers I prayed for years Watched hope bleed slow through sweat and hidden tears Built my life on loyalty, stayed when others ran Held together broken walls with trembling hands Carried my burdens through battles unseen Holding to faith with the last of my strength Somewhere between all the heartbreak and grief I still cry to You though it all feels lost to me [Pre-Chorus] You said You are near to the brokenhearted So why do I still feel stranded in the dark? Yet every time I nearly let go completely Something keeps a faint fire beating in my heart [Chorus] I sought Yahweh and He heard me Even when my faith could barely speak The righteous cry and You still listen To the worn-out and the weak Though affliction hits from every side And life cuts deeper than I can explain Your Word says You redeem Your servants So I’m standing here calling Your name [Verse 2] I carry questions heavier than steel Things polite religion doesn’t want to feel I’ve tried to stand upright beneath the weight Still wondering if peace arrives too late I look at these hands — hard miles and sacrifice A lifetime spent trying to do what’s right Still scraping hope together month by month Praying someday mercy finally comes [Verse 3] I’ve wrestled anger till my soul went numb Bit my tongue when vengeance begged to come You see the poison hiding in my chest The fatigue, the grief, the need for rest But Your Word says evil breaks the wicked And those who run to You are not condemned So teach me how to breathe again in mercy Instead of living clenched against the wind [Bridge] The eyes of Yahweh are upon the righteous Not the polished — the desperate and the real The ones too tired to fake their hallelujahs The ones whose scars still have not healed Taste and see that Yahweh still is good Even here where life fell apart Not because the pain was ever small But because You stayed inside the dark [Instrumental Break / Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] I sought Yahweh and He heard me From every fear that chained my mind The brokenhearted are not forgotten The crushed in spirit are still seen by Your eyes Many are the troubles of the righteous That truth I know too well by now But You deliver them from all of them Even if I cannot see it yet somehow [Outro] So I will bless Yahweh in the aching I will praise You in the waiting still Not because this life has all been easy But because You never left me in it And maybe one day after all this sorrow I’ll finally understand How the God who saves the brokenhearted Was carrying me with wounded hands
