INTRO I ain't supposed to be here... But I'm here. I've been through some things I don't talk about. There were nights I thought God had forgotten me. But He never left. Broken... Buried... Lost... But God. VERSE 1 I done walked through some nights I thought I'd never see morning, Had a smile on my face while my heart was still mourning. Carried all of my pain like nobody could notice, Told myself I was strong while my soul was just broken. I made choices in the dark that I wish I could change, Lost people, lost time, even lost my own way. Had my back to the wall, couldn't see no escape, Every door that I knocked on seemed to close in my face. I was fighting my battles, thinking I was alone, Trying to build something solid on a heart made of stone. Had some days I was angry, had some nights I was scared, But looking back now, I can see God was there. When I couldn't take another step, He carried me, When I couldn't see the road, He was guiding me. When I couldn't find the strength, He gave me what I need, When I couldn't hear His voice, He was still speaking peace. I thought I was finished, thought my story was done, Thought the darkness had won, thought the battle was won. But somewhere in the middle of my lowest night, God reached down from Heaven and gave me new life. I didn't see the purpose when I walked through the pain, Couldn't understand the storm when I stood in the rain. Now I look at every scar and I finally see, What I thought was breaking me was God rebuilding me. HOOK I was broken, buried, lost, But God came and paid the cost. Thought my life was at an end, He picked me up and made me whole again. I walked through the fire, but I didn't stay, Had my darkest nights, but He made a way. They counted me out, but God said, "Not yet," I'm still standing.... that's my testimony. VERSE 2 Now I look at my life, I can see every scar, Every wound, every struggle only showed me who You are. What I thought was a setback, You turned into a seed, Put purpose in my pain and gave me what I need. I remember them days when I couldn't see straight, Had me questioning my worth, questioning my fate. But You never left me, even when I walked away, Kept Your hand on my life when I didn't know how to pray. Now I'm standing on faith where I used to stand afraid, Got peace in my heart that the world couldn't take. I ain't saying it's easy, I still carry that weight, But I know who's beside me every step of the way. You took my mistakes and You taught me through them, Took all of my losses and You made me a student. Took the tears from my eyes and gave me vision again, Took a heart full of anger and taught me forgiveness. Now when I look back, I don't run from my past, Because every single trial helped to make me last. I survived what I thought would destroy me completely, Now I'm walking with God and my future looks different. So if you see me smiling, just know what it cost, I remember the man that I was when I was lost. The chains came off and the darkness got crossed, I ain't broken anymore...I'm proof God restores. HOOK I was broken, buried, lost, But God came and paid the cost. Thought my life was at an end, He picked me up and made me whole again. I walked through the fire, but I didn't stay, Had my darkest nights, but He made a way. They counted me out, but God said, "Not yet," I'm still standing....that's my testimony. BRIDGE When I was broken, You held me, When I was buried, You raised me, When I was lost, You found me, When I was empty, You filled me. I don't know why You chose me, I don't know why You stayed, But every time I thought it was over, You made another way. FINAL HOOK I was broken, buried, lost, But God came and paid the cost. Thought my life was at an end, He picked me up and made me whole again. I walked through the fire, but I didn't stay, Had my darkest nights, but He made a way. They counted me out, but God said, "Not yet," I'm still standing... that's my testimony. OUTRO Broken... But He put me back together. Buried... But He called me from the grave. Lost... But He knew exactly where I was. I thought it was over. God said, "I'm not finished with you." So I'm still here. Still breathing. Still believing. Not because I was strong... But because God never let me go. Broken. Buried. Lost. But God
