[Verse 1] Spent so long believing I always had to prove that I was strong I carried all my failures as a heavy burden through years I chased the kind of worth that made me fear that I could be wrong Then grace came near and showed me I had lived beneath my fears I learned to hide the places where my heart was breaking deep inside I thought that being needed meant I always had to appear I built my worth on everything that I could do and provide Then Jesus met me there and taught me I had nothing left to fear [Chorus] Because You won, I do not have to win to know that I am Yours Because You rose, I do not have to fear what lies beyond those doors Because You stayed, I can confess the places where I sometimes fall Because You live, I can begin again when I have lost it all [Verse 2] I used to measure faithfulness by what the world could see in me Now I can serve in quiet places and let all my striving cease Jesus became my treasure, not the praise that came to me from men Now I can walk the ordinary road and live in quiet peace I have known the bitter sting of falling from the heights I sought I have carried every failure like a sentence I had earned But mercy showed me grace was never something I had bought Now I can rise and walk again because Your mercy turned [Chorus] Because You won, I do not have to win to know that I am Yours Because You rose, I do not have to fear what lies beyond those doors Because You stayed, I can confess the places where I sometimes fall Because You live, I can begin again when I have lost it all [Bridge — The Gospel Became Personal] I knew the gospel as a story I could tell to other hearts Then Jesus made the gospel real within the life I tried to hide I thought I knew Your grace, but then Your grace came down and rescued me And now Your finished work is where my weary soul can abide [Final Chorus] Because You won, I do not have to win to know that I am Yours Because You rose, I do not have to fear what lies beyond those doors Because You stayed, I can confess the places where I sometimes fall Because You live, I can begin again when I have lost it all [coda] I can begin again when I have lost it all
