Verse 1:
I was lost down a road made of shadows and sin,
Chasin’ ghosts, drinkin’ lies from a bottle of gin.
Had a heart full of thunder, but no place to go,
‘Til I heard that voice whisper, “Son, come back home.”
Pre-Chorus:
Oh, the chains were heavy, draggin’ me deep,
But mercy found a way where I couldn’t see.
Chorus:
Now I lay my soul where the river runs clean,
Washed by the blood and the in-between.
I was blind, but now these eyes can see,
I found myself where grace found me.
Oh Lord, I found myself where grace found me.
Verse 2:
I wore guilt like a jacket, torn at the seams,
Prayin’ low in the dirt for forgotten dreams.
But the wind started hummin’ that old gospel tune,
Said, “The night ain’t forever, the dawn’s comin’ soon.”
Pre-Chorus:
Yeah, I knelt in the valley of broken men,
But I stood up strong when He called me again.
Chorus:
Now I lay my soul where the river runs clean,
Washed by the blood and the in-between.
I was blind, but now these eyes can see,
I found myself where grace found me.
Yes Lord, I found myself where grace found me.
Bridge (Call & Response Style):
(Call) The devil had my name…
(Response) But the Lord wrote it new!
(Call) I was drownin’ in shame…
(Response) ‘Til the light broke through!
(Call) I ain’t the man I used to be…
(Response) I’m a child of the King, I’m finally free!
Chorus (With Choir Backing):
Now I lay my soul where the river runs clean,
Washed by the blood and the in-between.
I was blind, but now these eyes can see,
I found myself where grace found me.
Oh Lord, I found myself where grace found me.
Outro:
So when they ask where I’ve been, tell ‘em I’m whole,
I found my way home… where I lay my soul.
