He

Verse 1

I emptied out my pockets

For a handful of empty dreams

Chased down every whisper

Of what life was supposed to mean

Promises wrapped in paper lies

Torn and faded at the seams

Pre-Chorus

Thought strength meant silence

And pain meant pride

Tried to carry the weight alone

But I was breakin’ deep inside

Chorus

I fell to my face

In the pouring rain

Lost all my pride

But I swear I heard Him call my name

He said, “Son, pick up your cross

You ain’t too far gone

You’ve walked a thousand miles

But you’ve never walked alone”

⸻

Verse 2

I wore my hurt like armor

Smiled so the world wouldn’t see

The devil said, “Keep runnin’, boy—

This faith was never free”

But even in the silence

He was reaching out for me

Pre-Chorus

I thought love was earned

By how long you bleed

But grace was in the fallin’

Down there on my knees

Chorus

I fell to my face

In the pouring rain

Losing the race

Still He softly called my name

He said, “Son, pick up your cross

Come rest your weary soul

The road ahead is long

But you won’t walk it alone”

⸻

Bridge

Now I stumble, but I don’t run

I’ve laid my shame to rest

He turned my wounds to stories

And my fear into a yes

⸻

Final Chorus

I fell to my face

In the pouring rain

But that storm became

The place I laid down all my shame

He said, “Son, pick up your cross

You’re right where you belong

The road is rough and real

But you’ve never walked alone”

⸻

Outro (spoken/sung)

Yeah, He called my name…

And I walked home
