Truth Takes Hold

[Verse 1]
I was counting cracks in the ceiling
Numb to the ache in my chest
Every promise felt like a rumor
Every prayer just air at best
Then Your word cut straight through the armor
Named every secret I’d hide
Love walked into my ruins
Pulled me to the light outside
[Chorus]
Now truth takes hold
Chains fall quiet at Your name
You write gold
Over every line of shame
I’m standing in the ashes
But I’m not the same
Truth takes hold
And I won’t run away again
[Verse 2]
There’s a war in the space of a heartbeat
Old fear says “boy
Just fold”
But Your voice sounds like Sunday morning
Calling a prodigal home
So I lace up grace like a weapon
Lift up my trembling hands
Every step is a small surrender
Every “yes” redraws the plan
[Chorus]
’Cause truth takes hold
Chains fall quiet at Your name
You write gold
Over every line of shame
I’m standing in the ashes
But I’m not the same
Truth takes hold
And I won’t run away again
[Bridge]
I fight the good fight
Eyes on You (eyes on You)
When I stumble
You pull me through
I’m not finished
You’re not done
Story unfolding in the shadow and the sun
I fight the good fight
Heart made new (heart made new)
Every battle just points to You
From the first word to the last breath told
You are the promise
And truth takes hold
[Chorus]
Now truth takes hold
Chains fall quiet at Your name
You write gold
Over every line of shame
I’m standing in the ashes
But I’m not the same
Truth takes hold
And I won’t run away again
Truth takes hold
Jesus
I won’t run away again
