[Intro] Just me, taking a breath Trying to hear what matters [Verse 1] I used to think I had to make it on my own Carried every question like a weight I couldn't show Then grace met me right where I was standing still Gave me room to choose, gave me strength to heal I was one way yesterday, I don't have to stay Each small honest step can turn a life around If I’m called to serve, let my hands be kind Let me bring some peace wherever I arrive [Chorus] God gave me power to change To become someone new A chosen vessel, learning what to do God gave me power to grow Into who I dreamed I'd be With a heart made open, let that purpose lead me [Verse 2] I don't need a crown, I don't need a stage I can make a difference in the words I say When a friend feels lost, I can listen close When the day gets hard, I can still choose hope I remember who I was, I honor that road But the past can't tell me where my life must go With faith in my chest and both feet on the ground I can turn toward love when the doubt comes round [Chorus] God gave me power to change To become someone new A chosen vessel, learning what to do God gave me power to grow Into who I dreamed I'd be With a heart made open, let that purpose lead me [Bridge] Not to stand above, but to lift someone near Not to hide my hurt, but to meet it with care If I’ve been given strength, let it make me kind Let the good I carry reach another life [Final Chorus] God gave me power to change To become someone new A chosen vessel, learning what to do God gave me power to grow Into who I dreamed I'd be With a heart made open, let that purpose lead me [Outro] Someone new, one day at a time I’ll use what I’ve been given well
