Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
This one for the ones who got hurt in the pews
But got healed in a Person
Listen
[Verse 1]
I grew up in that polished hall
Perfect smiles
Cold in the call
They measured my worth by the length of my fall
And the suit on my back
Not the scars in my soul
They said
"Try harder
Climb that stair"
Count your deeds like a metal chair
Stacked on my chest
I could barely breathe air
Till grace cut through like fresh light there
They talked rules
I was dying inside
They loved power
I just needed a Guide
They sold fear
Like it came from the sky
But the King that I met had tears in His eyes
[Chorus]
They locked me out with religion
But You let me in with a cross
When the self‑righteous built their kingdoms
You sat with me in my loss
It's not a building that saves me
Not a checklist over my sin
Relationship in Christ is the key
You turned that heavy lock from within (yeah)
[Verse 2]
They loved titles and front‑row seats
I was stuck in the back with a half‑broke seat
They called me "lukewarm"
Said I’d never compete
But Your word washed over me
Steady and sweet
They said
"Do more"
But You whispered "done"
They said
"Run faster"
You said
"I’ve run"
They stacked walls
You tore them one by one
Till shame fell flat like it met the Son
I ain’t tryna throw stones at the stained glass crew
But if the shoe fits
Maybe let Him make new
‘Cause grace ain’t earned by the things we do
It’s a blood‑bought gift and I just said "Thank You"
[Chorus]
They locked me out with religion
But You let me in with a cross
When the self‑righteous built their kingdoms
You sat with me in my loss
It's not a building that saves me
Not a checklist over my sin
Relationship in Christ is the key
You turned that heavy lock from within
[Bridge]
I’m free
From the weight of the masks (I’m free)
Free from the fear of their tasks (so free)
If I got You
I got all that I ask
Let the walls crack
I’m still intact
[Chorus]
They locked me out with religion
But You let me in with a cross
When the self‑righteous built their kingdoms
You sat with me in my loss
It's not a building that saves me
Not a checklist over my sin
Relationship in Christ is the key
You turned that heavy lock from within (yeah)
Relationship in Christ is the key
I’ll never be chained like that again
