[Intro]Yeah...I seen the darkness,Now I'm walkin' toward the light.This ain't about perfection—It's about redemption.
[Verse 1]I saw the light, opened up and let Him in,Truly disgusted by the life I lived in sin,Old ways had me headed to a dead-end road,Heavy with baggage, carryin' a crushing load.
Destructive habits had me driftin' from the path,Narrowly escaped the judgment and the coming wrath,Used to think the voice inside my head was truth,But the Devil wore a mask and manipulated youth.
Whispered in my ear, "Do whatever feels right,"Kept me blind to the darkness while I searched for light,Thought I had control, thought my way was the plan,Till God's mercy reached down and took hold of this man.
[Hook]I'm not who I was, but I ain't there yet,Learning how to walk in the Spirit, don't forget,He died for me so I could truly live,Gave me strength through grace and taught me how to forgive.
The chains are broken but the battle remains,Freedom from death ain't the absence of pain,So until that day when His glory I see,I'll be a light in the darkness for all to see.
[Verse 2]My will met God's plan, led me to the Savior's hands,He promised more than heaven, gave me strength to stand,Not only saved my soul from the grave below,But gave me power every day to continue to grow.
Every breath I take is evidence of mercy,Covered by His grace when I know I don't deserve it,Without the Good Shepherd I'd be hopeless today,Lost in the wilderness, wanderin' away.
Never perfect, just forgiven,For the King of Kings is the reason that I'm livin',Not finished, just redeemed,Still becoming the son that the Father sees.
No more emptiness defining who I am,Now my future's anchored in the Great I Am,This road is hard but I'll never turn back,Jesus paid too much for me to leave the track.
[Hook]I'm not who I was, but I ain't there yet,Learning how to walk in the Spirit, don't forget,He died for me so I could truly live,Gave me strength through grace and taught me how to forgive.
The chains are broken but the battle remains,Freedom from death ain't the absence of pain,So until that day when His glory I see,I'll be a light in the darkness for all to see.
[Bridge]His truth...His Word...And the Holy Spirit—Three things I need when the world's chaotic.
His truth...His Word...And the Holy Spirit—Hold me steady when the storms get violent.
The flesh still fights and temptation calls,But Christ keeps pickin' me up when I fall,Sanctified daily, that's the process I'm in,Saved from the penalty, still fightin' sin.
[Verse 3]He changed my vision, changed the way I see,People aren't enemies, they're neighbors to me,I traded old hatred for His perfect love,A gift from the Father who reigns above.
Now I see the hurting through a different lens,Prayin' for the lost instead of judging them,'Cause I remember where I used to be,Bound by chains till Jesus came and set me free.
And in the end I know I'll be with Him,Living through eternity, finally f
