[Verse 1]
Coffee gone cold in the cup by my seat,
Another long night and not much sleep,
Red brake lights stretching down Highway 9,
Just me and my thoughts at closing time.
Had a thousand excuses for the man I'd become,
Blamed my mistakes on where I came from,
Then a small church sign in the rain caught my eye,
Said, "Come as you are" as I drove by.
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn't know then what that moment would mean,
But grace was already chasing me.
[Chorus]
I was lost, now I'm found,
Grace reached down when I was sinking down,
When I thought my story was written in stone,
Jesus showed me I was never alone.
The shame I carried finally hit the ground,
Mercy spoke louder than the doubts I'd found,
Now every mile and every road I've seen
Points back to the day I was redeemed.
[Verse 2]
There was a worn-out Bible in the back of the pew,
Pages marked up by somebody who knew,
What it felt like to hurt, what it felt like to fall,
And still find a Savior who answers the call.
I heard about freedom, I heard about grace,
Felt tears rolling down a weathered face,
For the first time in years I could finally breathe,
Like a prisoner walking out with the key.
[Pre-Chorus]
The weight I'd carried started slipping away,
And I haven't been the same.
[Chorus]
I was lost, now I'm found,
Grace reached down when I was sinking down,
When I thought my story was written in stone,
Jesus showed me I was never alone.
The shame I carried finally hit the ground,
Mercy spoke louder than the doubts I'd found,
Now every mile and every road I've seen
Points back to the day I was redeemed.
[Bridge]
No lightning strike, no grand parade,
Just a broken man and amazing grace,
The past kept knocking but I locked that door,
'Cause that's not who I am anymore.
Now when the darkness whispers my name,
I remember the cross and the empty grave,
The One who saved me still walks with me,
And that's all the proof I need.
[Final Chorus]
I was lost, now I'm found,
By the blood of Jesus my feet are on solid ground,
What the world called broken He made complete,
Turned my wandering heart into a testimony.
The shame I carried finally hit the ground,
Mercy spoke louder than the doubts I'd found,
And every breath and every song I sing
Tells the story of a soul redeemed.
[Outro]
Coffee's still riding in the seat beside me,
The road's still long, but now I see,
The man I was is a memory,
I was an outcast, now redeemed.
