(Verse 1) New day breakin', a gentle light appears Got my calloused hands ready, conquerin' my fears Used to wander aimlessly, with no direction known But now I feel a guidance, I'm no longer alone Got put in the work, seekin' wisdom's call Yea, I'm different now, standin' strong and tall Been saved by grace these days, a prayer that's deep inside This I pray may I never not be able to find my way, with God as my trusted guide. (Chorus) Jesus came and cleansed me, through His blood I'm good Washed away the darkness, like I knew He would But it ain't without work, gotta walk that narrow line Bible and church, yeah, that's how I spend my time (Verse 2) 'Cause these hands have seen my pain, more than words can say Stumbled through the darkness, lost along the way Some folks whisper 'bout me, say I'm a lil different, it's true But na, I'm still the same in the ways that count anyways, through and through (Chorus) Jesus came and cleansed me, through His blood I'm good Washed away the darkness, like I knew He would But it ain't without work, gotta walk that narrow line Bible and church, yeah, that's how I spend my time (Verse 3) Now the path ahead is clearer, though the journey's still long With every step I'm takin', feelin' where I belong No more lookin' backward, at the shadows of the past This new foundation's solid, built to truly last Got put in the work, buildin' strong and true Yea, I'm different now, with a hopeful point of view Been saved by grace these days, a strength I can embrace Walkin' in His purpose, findin' my rightful place. (Bridge) People want to still call me out, pointin' fingers in the air Like man, that ain't what I'm about, leave that baggage over there Don't need your drama, your drugs, that ain't the life I crave Just my Bible and my Savior, the strength that I behave Fold my hands and pray for strength and courage, every single day Gotta be the man and father, ain't no other way (Outro) Jo and Hunter, let me just say one thing, listen close and hear I'm listening now and I'm trying to be there, holdin' you both so dear Now days it's taken a lil longer, this change ain't overnight But Rome wasn't built in a day, and this time I'm makin' it right I'm going to be the father and man you deserve, that's my solemn vow Love you boys, just trust in God, and just know He knows somehow.
