It’s already written

(Verse 1)

Yeah, whatever’s meant to be already had a name

Ain’t a thing I’m facin’ He didn’t see comin’ my way

Tried fightin’ the dark with my two bare hands

Found out quick I ain’t built to play God, man

I watched that clock while the silence screamed

But truth don’t rush, it just shows up when it needs

If it takes its time, I’ll wait through the fire

Every word He spoke still burnin’ inside

(Bridge)

I was tryin’ to read the end from the middle of the mess

He said, “Boy, I already know how this turns out, yeah”

(Chorus)

It was already written before I took my first breath

Knew my name, knew my scars, knew the cards I’d be dealt

I seen hearts change, yeah I learned that lesson

So I put my faith in God, not a man’s direction

If He says it, He means it, yeah His word holds true

Never comes back empty, does what it’s supposed to do

I been broke, been lost, still He calls me His child

It was already written all the while

(Verse 2)

Before my mama felt me kickin’ around

He had a plan bigger than this small-town doubt

He sees the truth underneath the disguise

Counts the fruit on the tree, not the tears in our eyes

This world brings storms, yeah I felt every wave

But peace ain’t found in the holes that we dig as graves

God don’t lie, don’t forget what He said

Every promise breathin’ even when hope feels dead

(Bridge)

Yeah, people let me down, left a mark in my trust

Found out quick faith and flesh don’t mix that much

(Chorus)

It was already written before I took my first breath

Knew my name, knew my scars, knew the cards I’d be dealt

I seen hearts change, yeah I learned that lesson

So I put my faith in God, not a man’s direction

If He says it, He means it, yeah His word holds true

Never comes back empty, does what it’s supposed to do

I been broke, been lost, still He calls me His child

It was already written all the while

(Verse)

Before you talk, better open that Book

Before you judge my road, make sure you took a good look

Every step I take, I ain’t walkin’ alone

Even the wrong turns still led me home

One day the truth’s gonna hit like gold

Every secret known, every story told

So I set my mind, I don’t bend to the wind

If God’s on my side, who’s stoppin’ Him?

(Bridge$

I hand Him the wheel, yeah I give Him control

He builds somethin’ solid outta damage and holes

I paid for some wisdom, cost me my pride

Funny how the blind spots kept me alive

Every tear I cried, every no I said

Every sin I wish I could leave for dead

He knew my future ‘fore my first heartbeat

So I ain’t listenin’ to liars tellin’ me who to be

(Final Chorus)

It was already written before I took my first breath

Knew my name, knew my scars, knew the cards I’d be dealt

I seen hearts change, yeah I learned that lesson

So I put my faith in God, not a man’s direction

If He says it, He means it, yeah His word holds true

Never comes back empty, does what it’s supposed to do

I been broke, been lost, still He calls me His child

It was already written all the while.
