[Verse 1]
(Male)
I was running on empty
Blue light eyes
But a hollow heart
Built my pride like a fortress
Paper walls
They fell apart
[Pre-Chorus]
(Male)
Every night the questions
Echo loud
Then fade to gray
Then Your name cut through the chaos
One small word that turned the page
[Chorus]
(Male + Female)
Jesus
You’re my anchor in the fire
Holding when the ground starts giving way
You pulled me from the edge
From the wire
Broke my chains and called me by my name
I was lost in the noise and the storm-torn sky
Now I stand in the light
With my hands raised high
Jesus
You’re my anchor in the fire
My forever
My desire (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
(Female)
I was chasing the shadows
Every win still felt like loss
Smiled for every picture
But inside I dragged a cross
(Female)
Then I heard You in the silence
Soft and strong
A steady tone
“I have walked through death before you
You don’t have to walk alone”
[Pre-Chorus]
(Female + Male echoes)
I let go of every burden (let go)
All the scars
The hidden shame (hidden shame)
You rewrote my broken story
Signed it with a risen name
[Chorus]
(Male + Female)
Jesus
You’re my anchor in the fire
Holding when the ground starts giving way
You pulled me from the edge
From the wire
Broke my chains and called me by my name
I was lost in the noise and the storm-torn sky
Now I stand in the light
With my hands raised high
Jesus
You’re my anchor in the fire
My forever
My desire (yeah)
[Bridge]
[Music drops; distant vocal
Pulsing synths]
(Male)
When the night screams louder than my fear
I will shout Your name
Knowing You are near
(Female)
When my past comes rushing like a flood
I will trust the scars
I will trust the blood
(Male + Female)
You are holy
You are worthy
Every breath now
For Your glory (hey!)
[Chorus]
(Male + Female, full power)
Jesus
You’re my anchor in the fire
Holding when the ground starts giving way
You pulled me from the edge
From the wire
Broke my chains and called me by my name
I was lost in the noise and the storm-torn sky
Now I live in Your grace
In Your open eyes
Jesus
You’re my anchor in the fire
My forever
My desire
[Outro]
[Double-time drums
Guitars driving]
(Male)
From the ashes
I rise
(Female)
With Your promise alive
(Male + Female)
Every heartbeat
Every cry
Now belongs to Jesus Christ (oh-oh-oh)
