[Intro] Chains hit the floor The gate gives way A hand reaches through And calls my name [Verse 1] I woke where the walls had no windows Counting each breath like a debt Cold iron bit into both hands No promise of daylight yet Then thunder rolled through the doorway A voice cut clean through the fear The locks lost hold of my body The road out suddenly clear [Pre-Chorus] Not by my strength Not by my claim Mercy stepped in And broke the frame [Chorus] You pulled me from the kingdom of night You carried me into the reign of light In your beloved Son I stand redeemed The ransom paid, the wound made clean Forgiveness opened what guilt had sealed A brand-new name, a heart healed You pulled me from the kingdom of night And taught these stolen eyes to see the light [Verse 2] I used to wear my failure proudly Like armor welded to skin Every accusation had a number Every road circled back again But grace came down without bargaining No silver tongue, no disguise The record burned in the open air And I walked out alive [Rap Verse] Listen—no ladder, no self-made climb No polished speech could purchase time I was locked in a ledger of blame Then mercy erased every mark of my name From the dark jurisdiction, transferred and free A new allegiance, a new identity Not hiding the past, not calling it small The debt was answered, the chain had to fall [Pre-Chorus] Not by my strength Not by my claim Mercy stepped in And broke the frame [Chorus] You pulled me from the kingdom of night You carried me into the reign of light In your beloved Son I stand redeemed The ransom paid, the wound made clean Forgiveness opened what guilt had sealed A brand-new name, a heart healed You pulled me from the kingdom of night And taught these stolen eyes to see the light [Breakdown] No more sentence! No more shame! The Son has spoken! I bear His name! [Bridge] The prison was real The rescue was greater The wound was deep The Healer came nearer I bring no price I bring no plea Your mercy is the door Your mercy carries me [Final Chorus] You pulled me from the kingdom of night You carried me into the reign of light In your beloved Son I stand redeemed The ransom paid, the wound made clean Forgiveness opened what guilt had sealed A brand-new name, a heart healed You pulled me from the kingdom of night And taught these stolen eyes to see the light [Outro] From night to light From chains to peace The debt is gone The captive released
