Prompt / Lyrics
I got sawdust on my shoes, calluses on my hands Long days earning a living, doing all I can Alarm clocks before sunrise, home when the sky’s gone gray Learning how to keep standing when the weight won’t fade I’ve said words I regret, crossed lines I shouldn’t cross Tried to shoulder my pride, paid more than it cost I look back at the man I used to be And I’m amazed You never walked away from me I’ve seen the messes I made, the bridges I burned Every time I hit bottom, You showed me what I learned I’ve been angry, I’ve been broken, I’ve been lost and afraid But You turned my darkness into light and never looked away Through nights that I doubted, through mornings I cried You whispered hope in my heart, You never left my side I don’t deserve this life I’m living These open doors, these sins forgiven Every breath I take, every prayer You hear Is mercy I didn’t earn, grace that brought me here I know who I was, I know who I’m not Still You loved me anyway Yeah, God gave it to me anyway Got a roof overhead and food on the table People who love me when I wasn’t able I’ve got peace in my chest I never knew before A calm in the storm when the hard times roar There were nights I was lost, down on my knees Asking You for answers, You gave me belief You didn’t promise me easy, didn’t promise me fast You just walked every mile through my future and past I’ve seen storms come raging, I’ve felt pain and shame But I’ve seen You lift me up and call me by my name When I counted my failures, You counted my scars Called me Your child and said I was already Yours You took the pieces of my heart and made me whole You put Your light in the shadows, reaching down to my soul I don’t deserve this life I’m living These second chances, sins forgiven Every heartbeat, every day Is a gift I didn’t earn, love I can’t explain I know who I was, I know who I’m not Still You loved me anyway Yeah, You loved me anyway I didn’t earn the cross I didn’t pay the cost Still You paid it all for me When I was lost I was running blind You were waiting all this time With arms wide open, saying, “Son, come home” You caught me when I stumbled, held me when I fell Every word You’ve spoken, every prayer You’ve heard as well I don’t deserve this life I’m living But I’ll spend it thankful, God-forgiven Every sunrise, every day I’ll praise the name that made a way I know who I was, I know who I’m not Still You loved me anyway Yeah, You gave it to me anyway Sawdust on my shoes, heart finally changed Living proof of grace I didn’t earn That You gave me anyway I’ll keep walking this road, with You guiding me through Every step, every breath, every dream that comes true I may never understand it, I may never see Why You chose to love a sinner like me
