The Journey

Verse 1

I was walkin’ through the valley with the shadows on my back,

Every heartbeat felt like thunder, every step a heart attack.

I was fightin’ with the silence, with the lies inside my head,

But You whispered through the darkness, “Son, you’re not the walking dead.”

Pre‑Chorus

I felt Your fire start to rise,

Like a dawn behind my eyes—

And the chains I wore for years

Started fallin’ as You drew me near.

Chorus

This is the Journey—

From the night into the glory,

From the ashes to the story

You were writing all along.

You pulled me out of the graveyard,

Set my feet on holy ground—

Now I’m standin’, saved and steady,

And my soul is shoutin’ loud.

Jesus, You’re the One who brought me home.

Verse 2

I was runnin’ from the mercy that kept chasin’ down my name,

Tryin’ hard to earn forgiveness, drownin’ deep in all my shame.

But You met me like a father, arms wide open in the dust,

Lifted me from where I’d fallen, said, “Come rise and learn to trust.”

Pre‑Chorus

Now every fear begins to fade,

Every lie You overtake—

And the man I used to be

Is a ghost You’ve buried in the sea.

Chorus

This is the Journey—

From the night into the glory,

From the ashes to the story

You were writing all along.

You pulled me out of the graveyard,

Set my feet on holy ground—

Now I’m standin’, saved and steady,

And my soul is shoutin’ loud.

Jesus, You’re the One who brought me home.

Bridge (Gospel + Rock Lift)

Oh, I once was broken—

But now I’m breathin’.

I once was hopeless—

But now I’m singin’.

You split the darkness—

The light came runnin’.

And now my heart beats

Like resurrection drummin’.

Final Chorus (Bigger, Anthemic)

This is the Journey—

From the night into the glory,

From the ashes to the story

You were writing all along.

You pulled me out of the graveyard,

Set my feet on holy ground—

Now I’m standin’, saved and steady,

And my soul is shoutin’ loud.

Jesus, You’re the One who brought me home.

You’re the One who brought me home.
