[Verse 1]
Wake up choking on the shame
Same stain on a different day
Hands clean
But my heart’s still rusted
Pray hard
But I don’t trust it
Mud on my boots from the places I swore
I would never go back to anymore
Every step feels like a loaded gun
Pointed at the One I run from
[Chorus]
I keep falling with these nails in my hands
But You took the scars
I don’t understand
I’m chained to the weight I swore I’d leave
Still You say my name
Tell me “just believe”
I break
I bleed
I crawl
I cry
You don’t walk away
You stay by my side
In the wreck I made of this life I planned
You reach through the dark
Pull me to stand
[Verse 2]
I hear Your words in a cracked old page
But I spit back rage in a quiet cage
Talk big faith with a forked
Split tongue
Then I run with the wolves when the bell is rung
I wear that cross like a painted mask
Sunday shine
Then I snap like glass
But when my halo hits the floor again
You’re still there
Calling me Your friend
[Chorus]
I keep falling with these nails in my hands
But You took the scars
I don’t understand
I’m chained to the weight I swore I’d leave
Still You say my name
Tell me “just believe”
I break
I bleed
I crawl
I cry
You don’t walk away
You stay by my side
In the wreck I made of this life I planned
You reach through the dark
Pull me to stand
[Bridge]
[Spoken-growl
Half-time]
I am the liar
I am the thief
I am the riot
Tearing up my own belief
[Build
Screamed]
Yet You
Call me
Child
Not
Enemy
You walked that hill I built with my pride
Took my curse
Put it deep inside
Every hammer swing
Every hateful phrase
You turned my wrath into amazing grace (yeah)
[Chorus]
I keep falling with these nails in my hands
But You took the scars
Now I understand
These chains crack open when I believe
Your blood bought the breath in my lungs to breathe
I break
I bleed
I rise
I fight
You light up the holes in my deepest night
In the wreck I made of this life I planned
You reach through the dark
Pull me to stand
[Outro]
Fade of the echoes
I’m still not pure
But I’m held by a love that is strong and sure
Stumbling forward through the smoke and fire
Eyes on the cross
Not my old desire
