(When My Story's Told) 🕊️
(Verse 1)
The curtain is closing, the long road is done,
I look up and see Him, brighter than the sun.
No more shadows dancing, no more earthly fight,
Just the brilliant promise of that glorious light.
And I feel the ground shake, the final battle call,
I'm standing beside Him, ready for the fall...
Of the fallen and the sinners, the darkness below,
We face them together, where else would I go?
(Chorus)
Oh, Lord, You know I cannot be without,
My compass, my anchor, dispelling all doubt.
I need You like I need breath, I need You today,
And more with each second of the time I have left, I pray.
Please don't give up on me, never let me stray,
You're the best part of my story, come what may.
We'll walk the bright path, where the victory's won,
My hand in Your hand, 'til the ages are run.
(Verse 2)
The old enemy, Lucifer, stands there and stares,
But his whispers are silent, lost in the air.
I look at Your face, and I see a soft smile,
And the chaos outside fades for a while.
What will we laugh about? The tiny, brief things,
The worries I carried on fragile, worn wings.
We'll talk about grace, how it covered the score,
And how I kept choosing You, needing You more.
(Chorus)
Oh, Lord, You know I cannot be without,
My compass, my anchor, dispelling all doubt.
I need You like I need breath, I need You today,
And more with each second of the time I have left, I pray.
Please don't give up on me, never let me stray,
You're the best part of my story, come what may.
We'll walk the bright path, where the victory's won,
My hand in Your hand, 'til the ages are run.
(Bridge)
Thank You for being so thoughtful and great,
For meeting me here, at the ultimate gate.
Thank You for the trials and tribulation, the weight,
You never put too much on my soul, it's my fate,
To know that Your strength was the measure of mine,
You knew I could handle the curve of the design.
And now that I'm here, I can finally see,
Every struggle You gave was a lesson for me.
(Outro)
So we take the first step, away from the fight,
Into the kingdom, bathed in pure light.
No more tears, no more striving, just freedom and peace,
The promise delivered, the final release.
(Walk with me, walk with me, forever by Your side...)
You are the best, You are the best... My story's justified.
I'm happy to refine any part of this song if you have any changes in mind!
