I walked alone through the city streets at night
Chasing dreams under flickering neon lights
I didn’t see the war behind the veil
Angels wept as shadows set my trail
A whisper called my name, sweet and low
Promised me the world if I’d just let go
I fell into the fire, chains around my soul
The devil’s smile took all control
But mercy broke the darkness, heaven heard my cry
God reached down and lifted me to life
In the pit with the weight of all my shame
Every echo spoke my guilty name
Then the light poured in like a rising sun
Jesus said, “My child, your race’s not done”
Chains rattled loud, the shadows tried to stay
But heaven’s love drove the dark away
I fell into the fire, chains around my soul
The devil’s smile took all control
But mercy broke the darkness, heaven heard my cry
God reached down and lifted me to life
Chains shattered, fear scattered, I could finally see
Grace had written my new melody
Lifted hands, heart reborn, crying out in praise
Forever thankful for amazing grace
Now I walk in the light, eyes on the King
Every step I take makes the heavens sing
Telling the world how the chains were undone
By the blood of Jesus, God’s own Son
I fell into the fire, chains around my soul
The devil’s smile took all control
But mercy broke the darkness, heaven heard my cry
God reached down and lifted me to life
