[Intro]
Yeah
This one personal
You saved my life, Lord
For real
[Verse 1]
Lil Jayson on the floor by the door
Hoping they don't start that shouting war
Hands on my ears, but I still hear it
Broken glass, broken home, broken spirit
I was that kid, fake smile in the hall
Jokes in my mouth, but my heart felt small
Family storm, I was caught in the middle
Trying to be big, but my soul so little
Every night tears in the same old pillow
Praying to a God that I didn't really know
"Why me? Why this? Why pain?"
I ain't even know You was right there in the rain
Fast forward, I was running from my past
Hard mask, heavy heart, moving way too fast
Thought I had friends, but they loved my sin
They ain't love me, they ain't want me to win
I was one wrong step from the deep end, drowning
Thought I heard the reaper when my heart started pounding
Then I felt a whisper cut through that noise
"Son, you mine" in a still, small voice
[Chorus]
Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me
You broke my chains when the world tried to crush me
Took my trauma, turned it into testimony
When I felt alone, You were standing right by me
Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me
You found my heart where the hurt tried to hush me
Gave me freedom, gave me breath and a calling
I lay it all down, now I'm all in
[Verse 2]
Yeah, You saved Jayson’s life, that's fact (that's fact)
Pulled me out the dark, never let me go back
I remember nights I ain't wanna wake up
Now I'm thanking You for every single day I wake up
You stepped in where my family was broken
You filled in all the gaps never spoken
You saw every bruise that was under my shirt
Every fake laugh that was hiding my hurt
But You ain't turn away, You drew near
Pulled up in the middle of my fear
Cross on Your back, blood in Your hands
You said, "I got a better plan"
You broke chains I thought I had to carry
Shame, addiction, the weight I buried
You showed me there's love out there, real love
More than a verse on a wall in a church, love
Now I got scars, but they point to Your mercy
Every healed wound singing "God, You’re worthy"
I don't gotta earn what You gave for free
So I give my whole life, Lord, take all of me
[Chorus]
Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me
You broke my chains when the world tried to crush me
Took my trauma, turned it into testimony
When I felt alone, You were standing right by me
Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me
You found my heart where the hurt tried to hush me
Gave me freedom, gave me breath and a calling
I lay it all down, now I'm all in
[Bridge]
Hands up high, that's surrender, not defeat (yeah)
Knees on the floor, but my soul on its feet (on its feet)
Used to curse my past, now I praise You for it
‘Cause every cracked place showed me how You pour in
I gave myself to You, chains hit the ground
New name, new life, new sound (new sound)
If You did it for me, You can do it for them
Point 'em to the cross, I just brag on Him
[Chorus]
