Higher Than the Pit

​[Intro] (Rap)

​(Ad-libs): Eyepiercinglove...

​(Ad-libs): Check the deed.

​(Ad-libs): No lie, I’m focused now.

​(Ad-libs): New day, new mercies.

​[V1] (Rap)

​I didn't rush to the phone, I just sat in the pew

Waiting on a Word 'cause I was done with the view

You told me to run, said the sin was a mess

While I was looking for a way to get out of the stress

I almost ran away, almost left it all behind

But I needed holy clarity to settle in my mind

​(Ad-libs): Sat in the pew

​(Ad-libs): No lie

​[PC] (Sung)

​Tired of the distance, tired of the dance

One step forward, then you lose the stance

I’m trading the "maybe" for a Holy "Yes"

Leaving the silence and the beautiful mess

​(Ad-libs): Trading it all!

​[C] (Sung)

​His love is higher than my sin, deeper than the pit

Standing on the promise where the broken used to sit

I’m rooted and established, I’m grasping for the height

Turning all my darkness into Sunday morning light

I’m a daughter of God, yeah, I’m claiming my worth

Reclaiming every inch of this Pennsylvania earth

​(Ad-libs): Higher!

​(Ad-libs): Deeper!

​[V2] (Rap)

​You push me away and I dive into my shame

But I’m done letting 'unworthy' be my only name

You say you're a mess, all over the place

While I’m just trying to find some mercy and grace

Maybe I should stay home, keep the door locked tight

'Cause even with a crowd, we can't do what's right

I’m asking for forgiveness as a sister in Christ

No more paying for the 'mess' at a heavy-duty price

​(Ad-libs): Sister in Christ

​[C] (Sung)

​His love is higher than my sin, deeper than the pit

Standing on the promise where the broken used to sit

I’m rooted and established, I’m grasping for the height

Turning all my darkness into Sunday morning light

I’m a daughter of God, yeah, I’m claiming my worth

Reclaiming every inch of this Pennsylvania earth

​[V3] (Rap)

​You said 'maybe it’s us' but I don't know what that means

I’m tired of the patterns and the static in between

If 'us' means a cycle that keeps pulling me down

Then I’m trading that 'us' for a permanent crown

I’m focused on the finish, I’m moving with the free

My boys are the reason, they're the only 'us' I see

I’m a Queen on the deed, yeah, my home is my throne

I’m breathing in the air and I’m standing on my own

​(Ad-libs): Ryan, Hayden, Dominic

​(Ad-libs): The only 'us'

​[C] (Sung)

​His love is higher than my sin, deeper than the pit

Standing on the promise where the broken used to sit

I’m rooted and established, I’m grasping for the height

Turning all my darkness into Sunday morning light

I’m a daughter of God, yeah, I’m claiming my worth

Reclaiming every inch of this Pennsylvania earth

​[R] (Sung)

​Higher than the pit, deeper than the shame

I’m a daughter of God, so remember the name

Rooted in the love, established in the light

I’m taking back my peace and I’m winning the fight

​[Outro] (Sung)

​Rooted and established.

​Measure of the fullness.

​Higher than the sin.

Deeper than the pit.

​(Ad-libs): I collected my thoughts. I’m good.
