[Verse 1] Out in the trees with my bow in my hand Cold morning wind over covenant land My father’s words about joy and eternal life Sank like an arrow, cut my heart like a knife [Pre-Chorus] My soul started burning, my knees hit the ground I cried to my Maker till heaven heard the sound [Chorus] I wrestled, I wrestled before the Lord all day Poured out my heart till the words fell away Then mercy, sweet mercy spoke into my soul “Thy sins are forgiven” made my broken heart whole [Verse 2] Guilt like a mountain was swept from my soul Peace like a river came in and made me whole Then I pled for my people, the Nephites by name And for the Lay-man-nights lost in their shame [Pre-Chorus 2] I asked Him to keep this record alive So future Lay-man-night hearts could revive [Chorus] I wrestled, I wrestled before the Lord all day Poured out my heart till the words fell away Then mercy, sweet mercy spoke into my soul “Thy sins are forgiven” made my broken heart whole [Bridge] If you are haunted by things you have done If shame is the shadow that covers your sun Go into your wilderness, fall to your knees He answers the wrestle of hearts that say “please” [Final Chorus] So wrestle, oh wrestle, with the Lord one day Pour out your heart till the words fall away Let mercy, sweet mercy speak into your soul “Thy sins are forgiven” and He’ll make you whole [Tag] Out in the dark when you feel alone God still remembers the wrestle of your soul
