seeing through

walked in shadows, I turned away

Chose my pride over His way

I stumbled, I fell, I lost my ground

No one to save me, no one around

The nights were long, my heart was cold

I carried guilt I could not hold

I cried for mercy, I called in vain

But still He reached me through my pain

Chorus

God pulled me up from the ashes

He gave my broken heart a fight

He broke the chains of my failures

And brought me back into the light

I was dead inside, I was lost in sin

But His mercy brought me in

I’m standing now, I’m alive again

By His grace, I begin

Verse 2

I confess my stubborn ways

All my sins, my wasted days

I can’t hide, I can’t pretend

I kneel and rise, I start again

Every step is hard and slow

But His strength begins to grow

I feel His hand, I feel His fire

He lifts me up from the mire

Chorus

God pulled me up from the ashes

He gave my broken heart a fight

He broke the chains of my failures

And brought me back into the light

I was dead inside, I was lost in sin

But His mercy brought me in

I’m standing now, I’m alive again

By His grace, I begin

Bridge

No more running, no more lies

I face my guilt, I face my cries

Through penance, prayer, and sacrifice

I walk the narrow road of life

Final Chorus / Outro

God pulled me up from the ashes

He gave my broken heart a fight

He broke the chains of my failures

And brought me back into the light

I was dead inside, I was lost in sin

But His mercy brought me in

I’m rising now, I’m alive again

By His grace, I begin
