Saved by hope

In the dark, I was lost, shadows all around

Struggling with my fears, trembling on the ground

But something pulled me close, whispered in my ear

A voice so clear, erased my pain and fear

Kneeling on the floor, tears falling like rain

Thought I was done, drowning in my pain

A knife at my neck, life slipping away

Then I opened a book, found my brighter day

People ask me why I pray, why I lift my hands

Why I trust a Savior they don’t always understand

I tell them I was broken, searching for a way

Trying to find the answers, but getting lost each day

It wasn’t just words, it was hope reborn

A light in my darkness, a new dawn

Though I have sins, I’m not proud to own

His grace covers me, I’m never alone

I was saved by a hope I couldn’t see

A love so deep, it set me free

It’s not about the rules, or what I can do

It’s about what He’s done, and what is true

I was lost in the storm, drowning in the night

Then He called my name and led me to the light

Now my heart beats strong with a faith that’s grown

His grace is the reason I’m never alone

I needed something greater than the strength I had inside

Someone who would stay with me when everyone said goodbye

When my heart was full of questions and my soul was torn apart

God met me in the silence and healed my wounded heart

Every scar I carry tells a story of His grace

Every road behind me shows the mercy I embraced

I don’t have all the answers, but this one thing I know

When I couldn’t take another step, He never let me go

So when they ask me why I need His name

I tell them I would never be the same

Without His mercy, without His love

I’d still be fighting battles on my own

I was saved by a hope I couldn’t see

A love so deep, it set me free

It’s not about the rules, or what I can do

It’s about what He’s done, and what is true

I was lost in the storm, drowning in the night

Then He called my name and led me to the light

Now my heart beats strong with a faith that’s grown

His grace is the reason I’m never alone

How do I explain the reason that I believe?

When I had nothing left, He never stopped loving me

When darkness tried to claim me and fear became my guide

He carried me through valleys I never could survive

I don’t control the road I’m on

His hands guide me when my strength is gone

Trusting in His plan, I come alive

With faith in my heart, I survive

So if you’re asking why I need God every day

Because His grace is the reason I found my way

Not because I’m perfect, not because I’m strong

But because He never left me when everything went wrong

I was saved by a hope I couldn’t see

A love so deep, it set me free

It’s not about the rules, or what I can do

It’s about what He’s done, and what is true

Through every valley, every trial I’ve known

His love has been the foundation I’ve built upon

And when my final day comes and this life is through

I’ll still be singing of the grace that carried me through
