Rescued Me

(Verse 1)

I was lost in the shadows I created myself,

Trying to numb every wound, every cry for help.

Every night I kept running farther from Your light,

Till I couldn’t recognize the man inside.

Empty bottles and broken prayers on the floor,

A heart so ashamed it couldn’t take anymore.

But right there in the wreckage of my deepest pain,

I heard Your mercy softly call my name.

(Pre-Chorus)

When I thought the battle was over,

When I thought the darkness had won,

You reached down into my ruin

And reminded me who I was.

(Chorus)

You rescued me,

Your love pulled me out of the dark and into the light,

Turned me back onto the path that’s right.

You helped me flush the bottles and the pills,

And pulled me out of this addictive hell.

Now my tears of pain have turned to tears of joy,

My cries for help are now cries of rejoice!

Lord, You have rescued me!

(Verse 2)

There were nights I was shaking, begging for release,

Trying to find freedom but forgetting where You’d be.

The enemy kept whispering, “You’ll never change,”

But Your voice kept cutting through the shame.

You never turned away from my shattered soul,

Never stopped chasing me through the storm.

Now every breath I breathe is living proof

That grace can make a dead heart new.

(Pre-Chorus)

When I thought the battle was over,

When I thought the darkness had won,

You reached down into my ruin

And reminded me who I was.

(Chorus)

You rescued me,

Your love pulled me out of the dark and into the light,

Turned me back onto the path that’s right.

You helped me flush the bottles and the pills,

And pulled me out of this addictive hell.

Now my tears of pain have turned to tears of joy,

My cries for help are now cries of rejoice!

Lord, You have rescued me!

(Bridge)

At the foot of the cross

Is where I let my shame go.

Every sin, every scar

Was washed whiter than snow.

The chains that once held me

Now lay beneath Your feet.

And the sinner I once was

Has been redeemed.

(Chorus)

You rescued me,

Your love pulled me out of the dark and into the light,

Turned me back onto the path that’s right.

You helped me flush the bottles and the pills,

And pulled me out of this addictive hell.

Now my tears of pain have turned to tears of joy,

My cries for help are now cries of rejoice!

Lord, You have rescued me!

You rescued me,

Your love pulled me out of the dark and into the light,

Turned me back onto the path that’s right.

You helped me flush the bottles and the pills,

And pulled me out of this addictive hell.

Now my tears of pain have turned to tears of joy,

My cries for help are now cries of rejoice!

Lord, You have rescued me!
