[Verse 1]
Boots by the doorway
Dust on the Bible shelf
Whiskey ring on the table
I was poisoning myself
Midnight in my kitchen
Empty bottle, folded knees
Mumbled, “If You’re still listening
Could You come remember me”
[Pre-Chorus]
Thunder on the window
Something in me broke
I felt every failing
Like smoke in my throat
But a whisper cut through
Soft as Sunday rain
“I’ve been here beside you
Inside every pain”
[Chorus]
I was lost in the dark then Your mercy found me
I was chained to my shame but Your love unbound me
Heaven’s choir in my chest, beating time, beating time (oh-oh)
Now I’m singing I’m saved, I’m healed, I’m breathing
Every scar that I wear now sings I’m redeemed and
I’m alive, I’m alive, double time, double time in my soul
[Verse 2]
Truck in the driveway
Same road, different man
Sunrise on the dash now
Bible riding next to my hand
Mama’s old communion
Bread crumbs in my palm
Tears fall in the rearview
But my heartbeat hums a psalm
[Pre-Chorus]
I still hear the vultures
Circling my past
But Your grace rides louder
In a love that lasts
And the choir in my chest
Turns the sorrow sweet
Every failure fading
Under nail-scarred feet
[Chorus]
I was lost in the dark then Your mercy found me
I was chained to my shame but Your love unbound me
Heaven’s choir in my chest, beating time, beating time (oh-oh)
Now I’m singing I’m saved, I’m healed, I’m breathing
Every scar that I wear now sings I’m redeemed and
I’m alive, I’m alive, double time, double time in my soul
[Bridge]
I don’t hide my history
It’s the map back to Your heart
Every wrong road, every bruise
Turned to gold beneath the stars
In the hush between the heartbeats
I hear that holy sound
“You were lost, you were dying
Now you’re found, you’re found” (yeah)
[Chorus]
I was lost in the dark then Your mercy found me
I was chained to my shame but Your love unbound me
Heaven’s choir in my chest, beating time, beating time (oh-oh)
Now I’m singing I’m saved, I’m healed, I’m breathing
Every scar that I wear now sings I’m redeemed and
I’m alive, I’m alive, double time, double time in my soul
