Verse 1
I knew all the words they told me,
He leaves the ninety-nine.
I heard that grace could move a mountain,
Just never thought it’d move mine.
I memorized every promise,
Like they were somebody else’s name.
Read every page about forgiveness…
Still walked away in shame.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted…”
If that was true…
Why did I still feel broken?
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I kept looking at the ceiling,
Waiting for the sky to move.
Thinking silence was Your answer…
Maybe I just wasn’t listening.
⸻
Chorus
I thought I was too far gone.
Too lost to ever come back home.
I built a prison with my own hands,
Locked the door and blamed the dark.
I was running…
You were waiting.
I stopped believing…
You stayed the same.
Even when I couldn’t find You…
You were already finding me.
⸻
Verse 2
I called my fear “reality.”
I called my chains “just who I am.”
Every mirror showed a stranger…
I didn’t think You’d understand.
“Fear not, for I am with you.”
I read those words a thousand times…
But never let them reach my heart.
I thought Your love had conditions.
I thought I’d crossed the line.
Didn’t know the cross was drawn…
Long before I crossed mine.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Every road I swore would end me…
Led me back into Your hands.
⸻
Chorus
I thought I was too far gone.
Too lost to ever come back home.
But You walked into my wilderness
Like You had known the way all along.
I was hiding…
You still called me.
I kept falling…
You still caught me.
Even when I couldn’t find You…
You were already finding me.
⸻
Bridge
“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
So I came…
Not because I had it all together.
Not because I finally deserved it.
Because I couldn’t carry myself anymore.
“My grace is sufficient for you,
for My power is made perfect in weakness.”
That’s where You found me.
Not on the mountain.
Not when I was strong.
Not when I finally figured life out.
But on my knees…
With nothing left to hide.
⸻
Final Chorus
Now I know…
I was never fighting by myself.
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
You were there in every unanswered prayer.
You were there in every sleepless night.
You were there when I was angry.
You were there when I stopped trying.
You saved me…
Not from the storm.
You saved me…
From myself.
Now every promise reads different.
Every verse has my name in it.
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
So if tomorrow feels heavy…
I’ll remember yesterday.
The God I thought had left…
Was carrying me home the whole time.
