(Verse 1)
Life ain’t what I thought it’d be
I had big plans and dreams for me
Ain’t no one else to blame
I’m caught in my own head game
Every road I called my freedom
Led me farther from His door
I kept reaching for something
That always left me wanting more
(Verse 2)
I chased every empty promise
Looking for a little peace
Kept filling up the silence
With things that left me weak
Some people have it worse than me
Lord, I know that’s true
But pain don’t care who’s living it
It just keeps on pulling you
(Pre-Chorus)
When I finally quit pretending
That I could make it on my own
I whispered one last desperate prayer…
And He led this lost heart home
(Chorus)
When I ran out of answers
He was waiting there for me
When I couldn’t get out of my bed
His mercy set me free
He broke the chains I couldn’t break
When I had no strength to fight
I found my Higher Power…
His name is Jesus Christ!
(Verse 3)
I still stumble, I still struggle
But I don’t fight these wars alone
Every morning starts with mercy
Every night He leads me home
Now the chains that used to hold me
Don’t define the man I am
I’m still walking through the valley
Holding tightly to His hand
(Bridge)
He was there when I was running
He was there when hope was gone
He never stopped pursuing me
Even when I wandered on
I didn’t have find Him…
He was never far away
He was waiting with forgiveness
The moment that I prayed
(Final Chorus)
When I ran out of answers
He was waiting there for me
When I couldn’t get out of my bed
His mercy set me free
He broke the chains I couldn’t break
When I had no strength to fight
I found my Higher Power…
His name is Jesus Christ!
