[Intro] I was running on a road I chose alone Then You called my name and led me home [Verse 1] I used to count my wins, never counted what they cost Held a heavy heart, never faced what I had lost Then I opened up the pages, found a path beneath my feet Every word became a lamp, every lesson made me breathe You taught me how to listen before answering in anger How to love the stranger, how to bless the brokenhearted I was hard around the edges, always ready to defend Now I kneel beside my children, learning patience from the end [Pre-Chorus] Lord, You changed the room inside me Turned the locked door into light When I follow where You guide me I can finally live upright [Chorus] I follow Your words, I follow Your way The teachings of Jesus still carry me today God, You made my life better, gave my heart room to love Made me a better father through the mercy from above I only wish I gave myself to You sooner, Lord But I’m here now, and I’m Yours [Verse 2] Now my son sees me praying when the morning starts to rise My daughter hears forgiveness when she looks into my eyes I don’t claim I’m perfect, I still stumble, still repair But the grace You place before me keeps me honest, keeps me there When the pressure starts to gather and my old ways start to call I remember how Your kindness found me underneath it all Not a throne I had to earn, not a debt I had to pay Just a Savior teaching mercy, showing me a better way [Pre-Chorus] Lord, You changed the room inside me Turned the locked door into light When I follow where You guide me I can finally live upright [Chorus] I follow Your words, I follow Your way The teachings of Jesus still carry me today God, You made my life better, gave my heart room to love Made me a better father through the mercy from above I only wish I gave myself to You sooner, Lord But I’m here now, and I’m Yours [Bridge] Take my pride, take my fear Take the wasted years Put Your wisdom in my hands Help me raise them how I can If I wander, call me back Keep me steady on the path Every breath and every choice Let it honor Your voice [Final Chorus] I follow Your words, I follow Your way The teachings of Jesus still carry me today God, You made my life better, gave my heart room to love Made me a better father through the mercy from above I only wish I gave myself to You sooner, Lord Now my whole life sings, I’m Yours [Outro] I was running on a road I chose alone Now Your love has led me home Sooner would have been a blessing, this moment is still grace Thank You, Lord, for finding me and teaching me Your ways
