[Verse 1]
Boots on the gravel
Bible in my hand
War in my chest
Lines in the sand
Rumors of angels
Echo in the smoke
Faith in a whisper
Steel in the yoke
[Chorus]
I raise my fists to the risen Son
Crimson crown of grace
The battle’s won
Through the fire
Through the flood
I stand
Nailed my shame to the scar-marked hands
Yeah
I bleed
I break
I fall
But Your mercy hits harder than it all
[Verse 2]
Temptation’s a serpent
Coiled round my neck
I’ve sworn a thousand oaths
And snapped them like a thread
You don’t need my glory
You ask for my scars
You turn a broken heart
Into a blazing star (hey!)
[Chorus]
I raise my fists to the risen Son
Crimson crown of grace
The battle’s won
Through the fire
Through the flood
I stand
Nailed my shame to the scar-marked hands
Yeah
I bleed
I break
I fall
But Your mercy hits harder than it all
[Bridge]
When the choir of the damned sings louder
Than the voice in my soul
You thunder through the chaos
“I have paid every toll”
So I scream Your name in the darkness
Till the shadows turn and run
I am chained to grace forever
I am free in the Holy One (woah)
[Chorus]
I raise my fists to the risen Son
Crimson crown of grace
The battle’s won
Through the fire
Through the flood
I stand
Nailed my shame to the scar-marked hands
Yeah
I bleed
I break
I fall
But Your mercy hits harder than it all
Your mercy hits harder than it all
