[Intro]
[Low male choir]
Mmm, mmm
There’s grace down here
[Verse 1]
I came up where the red dirt stains
Where a man learns faith through loss and pain
Cracked old dash and an empty tank
Still drove that road with a heart full of hate
Kept my jaw locked tight, held my pride up high
Told the whole world I was doing just fine
But the truth gets loud when the night gets still
And a runaway soul can’t outrun His will
I had smoke in my lungs, rage in my chest
A fistful of reasons and no real rest
I fell in the dust with nowhere to travel
Then I found His grace in the gravel
[Pre-Chorus]
[Handclaps and choir]
When the road went dark
(He found me)
When I fell apart
(He found me)
When I lost my way
I heard Heaven say
[Chorus]
[Full gospel choir]
There’s grace in the gravel
Light in the rain
God met me broken
And called me by name
There’s hope in the holler
Fire in these bones
I walked through the valley
But I didn’t walk alone
I still got scars
But I’m not who I was
There’s grace in the gravel
There’s power in His love
[Verse 2]
[Country rap]
I clock in early with the sun still low
Steel-toe faith everywhere I go
Bills on the table, weight on my back
But I won’t let fear knock my soul off track
I’ve prayed face-down on a concrete floor
Asking if the Lord could still use me anymore
He said, “Son, I don’t waste one wound or tear
Every mile that you ran still brought you here”
So I carry that truth like a hammer and nail
When the enemy talks, I remember he failed
Let the bass roll deep, let the old boards rattle
I found my King in the middle of the battle
[Pre-Chorus]
When the road went dark
(He found me)
When I fell apart
(He found me)
When I lost my way
I heard Heaven say
[Chorus]
There’s grace in the gravel
Light in the rain
God met me broken
And called me by name
There’s hope in the holler
Fire in these bones
I walked through the valley
But I didn’t walk alone
I still got scars
But I’m not who I was
There’s grace in the gravel
There’s power in His love
[Bridge]
[Half-time, call and response]
Who held me up when my strength was gone?
(The Lord held on)
Who gave me breath for another dawn?
(The Lord held on)
Who broke the chains that were buried beneath?
(Jesus set me free)
Who put a new song down deep in me?
(Jesus set me free)
[Final Chorus]
[Massive choir]
There’s grace in the gravel
Light in the rain
God met me broken
And called me by name
There’s hope in the holler
Fire in these bones
I walked through the valley
But I never walked alone
I still got scars
But I’m not who I was
There’s grace in the gravel
There’s power in His love
[Outro]
[Acoustic guitar and fading choir]
Led me home
Through the dirt and the stone
There’s grace in the gravel
And the gravel led me home
