[Intro]
Yeah
Look
If you knew where I came from
You would understand this praise right now
[Verse 1]
Used to wake up with a weight on my chest
Anger in my veins
fear in my breath
Running from the mirror
I was running from the mess
Numb in the pew
still faking I was blessed
But You saw Jayson
deep in that night
Hands full of shame
eyes on the fight
Called me by my first name
told me “step into the light”
Not by my strength
by Your blood I got right
I was chasing that crowd
You were chasing my heart
Trying to be hard
You were tearing chains apart
Every little scar that I tried to hide away
You turned into a story that I testify today
[Chorus]
My God is great
yeah, He carried me
Pulled me out the dark
gave me eyes to see
Jayson ain’t Jayson
’til You set me free
Jesus my Savior
You remade me
My God is great
let the heavens know
Every breath I breathe
that’s a miracle
Jayson ain’t Jayson
’til You took control
Jesus my Savior
You saved my soul
[Verse 2]
I remember nights yelling
“I don’t need Christ”
Heart so cold
could’ve froze my life
Still You were there
when I broke that line
Arms wide open
said “Son, you’re mine”
When I slipped
You caught me
Fell hard
You taught me
World tried to label me
You re-wrote my story
From sinner to saved
from lost to found
From talking to the floor
to praising out loud
Now I’m walking in peace
I ain’t earned that
Joy in my bones
I ain’t deserved that
Grace in my veins
can’t reverse that
Hell in my past
but I ain’t going back
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I’m only standing ’cause You held me
Only breathing ’cause You kept me (yeah)
Only Jayson ’cause You named me
Jesus Christ, You changed me
From the valley to the mountain
You were there in every scene
Every stumble turned to worship
You’ve been better than my dreams
[Chorus]
