Started out young with a hunger in my chest
Eyes on the prize, chasing after what’s next
Money on my mind, got that suit and that tie
Burning daylight, just to reach for the sky
Success on the surface, external gold
Inside I was empty, my heart running cold
Chasing that woman I dreamed I could hold
But I was lost—truth be told
Pre-Chorus:
Every late night grinding, staying up in my mind
Thought my own two hands could change my timeline
But every door closed, every plan went wrong
All I built myself—it didn’t last long
Chorus:
Didn’t see my sin, blinded by the flash
Ignored the cross, thought I’d earn every stash
But you reached through the night, sent a friend my way
Spoke Your truth and showed me a better way
Now I’m relying on You, let Your will be done
I found grace in the love of your only Son
Verse 2:
He said, “Man, you’re living like the world’s your hope
Got the ladder, got the lead, but you missing the rope
God’s reaching for you, just open your eyes
He paid it in full, no need to disguise”
I listened, for once I put pride aside
My brokenness laid at the foot of the light
Saw my own sin, but saw mercy first
On that cross, He showed love’s worth
Pre-Chorus:
Not by my strength, but by His hand
Was chasing the world, now I follow His plan
Surrendered my pain, then He gave me peace
Found true life when I dropped to my knees
Chorus:
Didn’t see my sin, blinded by the flash
Ignored the cross, thought I’d earn every stash
But you reached through the night, sent a friend my way
Spoke Your truth and showed me a better way
Now I’m relying on You, let Your will be done
I found grace in the love of your only Son
Bridge:
Now I run after dreams with You in the lead
You provide all I need, You’re the hope that I breathe
Every blessing, every lesson, every battle I meet
I’m standing on the rock with the world at my feet
Outro:
Now my life ain’t mine, been bought with a price
Walking with my Savior, I’ve been raised to new life
No more chasing shadows, I’m running to the sun
Fully relying on You—let Your kingdom come.
