[Hook – Soulful Chorus] Jesus saved me in the shadows when I couldn’t see no light Jesus held me when the world said I ain’t worth the fight Jesus found me when I was ready to lay down and die In a world so cold, He’s the only one who stayed by my side

[Verse 1 – The Struggle] I was drowning in my sorrow, chained up to my past, Every dream I ever had felt too broken to last. They said I’d never change, just a number, just a name, But mercy hit my heart and I’ll never be the same. From the yard to the canvas, from the mic to the street, I learned to turn my scars into rhythm and heat.

[Hook – Chorus] Jesus saved me in the shadows when I couldn’t see no light Jesus held me when the world said I ain’t worth the fight Jesus found me when I was ready to lay down and die In a world so cold, He’s the only one who stayed by my side

[Verse 2 – The Turn] Almost lost my sight, but He gave me new vision, Taught me how to paint past my pain, turn the scars into mission. From the cell to the stage, from the dark to the flame, Now I testify His mercy, let the world know His name. I ain’t perfect, but I’m proof that His grace is alive, Every breath that I take is a reason I survived.

[Bridge – Stripped Down, Snaps + Claps] They didn’t want me, but He called me His own. They left me empty, but He gave me a home. Every tear, every scar, every night I cried— He turned my death into life, my shame into pride.

[Final Hook – Choir Lift] Jesus saved me in the shadows when I couldn’t see no light Jesus held me when the world said I ain’t worth the fight Jesus found me when I was ready to lay down and die In a world so cold, He’s the only one who stayed by my side

[Outro – Spoken Word] So when the world goes viral for the bees and the flies, I’ll still be here singing the truth that never dies. Lantern to my feet, fire in my chest— Jesus saved me, and in Him I rest.

[Intro – Spoken Word] We live in a world where two bees can jack a lantern fly, But when I speak on Jesus, they just roll they eyes at my survival. He beez the lantern to my feet, guiding me when I write, Saved me in a prison cell when I had no song in sight. Was ready to die, couldn’t live one more lie… But He whispered, “Son, I’ll make a way—just wait, just try.” [Hook – Soulful Chorus] Jesus saved me in the shadows when I couldn’t see no light Jesus held me when the world said I ain’t worth the fight Jesus found me when I was ready to lay down and die In a world so cold, He’s the only one who stayed by my side [Verse 1 – The Struggle] I was drowning in my sorrow, chained up to my past, Every dream I ever had felt too broken to last.
