Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Met her on a back pew August dust on our Sunday shoes She laughed at the way I sang off-key Said, “Boy, that’s still a hymn to me” We carved promise rings in pine Talked kids, talk forever time Thought a little house and a porch swing Was all that Heaven’d ever need to bring [Chorus] I found love, I lost love Cried out, “Jesus, is this what it’s made of?” All these prayers in the dark of my truck All this hurt and this stubborn hope stuck You give and You take, I don’t understand But You’re holdin’ my heart in Your nail-scarred hands If this ain’t the end of the story above Then You’re gonna turn this heartbreak Back into true love [Verse 2] Her note on the counter said “I’m sorry, but my heart’s somewhere else” Coffee cold, my knees hit the floor Talked to God like I never had before “I did every little thing right Said grace, held her close at night If this is Your road, it’s rough and steep Why’d You put a promise where I couldn’t keep?” [Chorus] I found love, I lost love Cried out, “Jesus, is this what it’s made of?” All these prayers in the dark of my truck All this hurt and this stubborn hope stuck You give and You take, I don’t understand But You’re holdin’ my heart in Your nail-scarred hands If this ain’t the end of the story above Then You’re gonna turn this heartbreak Back into true love [Bridge] One day on some quiet pew I’ll look left and it won’t be you But I’ll feel a peace sit down beside me (oh) Hear a still small voice inside me Saying, “Son, I was there in the loss I was there when you cursed the cross Every tear that you thought fell in vain I was planting somethin’ deep in your name” [Chorus] I found love, I lost love Cried out, “Jesus, look what my heart’s made of” All these scars that I wear like rust Turnin’ into somethin’ You can trust You give and You take, now I understand You were holdin’ my heart in Your nail-scarred hands This ain’t the end of the story above You’re gonna turn this heartbreak Yeah, You’re gonna turn this heartbreak Right into true love (oh, true love)

country, Warm modern country ballad with male vocals; gentle strummed acoustic and soft piano under a storytelling verse, brushed snare and subtle pedal steel easing in. Big, harmony-lifted chorus with roomy drums and a singalong hook, then a stripped-down bridge that leans on vocal grit before one last full-band, arms-around-shoulders chorus.
