Risen

Got a story 'bout a girl I used to know

A heartbreak story from long ago

She was the spark that lit my fire

Then she took my best friend, and my heart's entire

Left me standin' in the rain, feelin' so low

Lost my way, and I didn't know where to go

It was a hard road, I broke down and cried

But I found a new kind of strength deep inside

Now I’m workin’ 70 hours on my own

Pushing through the hurt, I’ve grown

Quit my smokin’ and my past's behind

Found Jesus' love to ease my mind

From heartache to salvation, I’ve come a long way

Living for the new dawn each day

Though she broke my heart, I’m finally free

That heartbreak led to my destiny

Walked away from that old car crew

Driven by pain, but I knew what to do

Gave up the weed, let my soul be clean

Got Jesus in my life, saw what I mean

No more chains, I’m breakin’ free

Findin' strength in His mercy

Now I’m workin’ 70 hours on my own

Pushing through the hurt, I’ve grown

Quit my smokin’ and my past's behind

Found Jesus' love to ease my mind

From heartache to salvation, I’ve come a long way

Living for the new dawn each day

Though she broke my heart, I’m finally free

That heartbreak led to my destiny

Every tear I shed was a lesson learned

Now I see the fire in the mornin' sun

From shattered dreams to second chances

My pain turned into romance

So here I stand, stronger than before

Thanks to the love that saves and restores

Heartbreak was just a stepping stone

Now I’ve found my way back home
