I was broken, now I rise

I woke with the weight of a borrowed name

A heart full of dust, a room full of blame

Then mercy found me where I fell

Pulled me from the wreckage I knew too well

You called me daughter, not defeated

You gave me breath when mine was leaving

I was broken, now I rise

With a battle cry beneath these scars tonight

The past can knock, but it won’t get through

I know who I am because I know You

Let them talk, let them point, let them say what they will

I’m held by grace and I’m standing still

Nothing can stop what You started in me

I’m God’s daughter, finally free

They trade my story from door to door

But I don’t wear their words anymore

Every judgment falls like rain

And washes clean the old refrain

You turned my wounds into a warning

You made a warrior out of mourning

I was broken, now I rise

With a battle cry beneath these scars tonight

The past can knock, but it won’t get through

I know who I am because I know You

Let them talk, let them point, let them say what they will

I’m held by grace and I’m standing still

Nothing can stop what You started in me

I’m God’s daughter, finally free

No, I won’t bow to the voice of shame

No, I won’t answer to a former name

The grave is empty, the chain is gone

You put a new song in my lungs to carry on

I was broken, now I rise

With a battle cry beneath these scars tonight

The past can knock, but it won’t get through

I know who I am because I know You

Let them talk, let them point, let them say what they will

I’m held by grace and I’m standing still

Nothing can stop what You started in me

I’m God’s daughter, forever free

Held, healed, made new

I belong to You

God’s daughter, standing free
