(Verse 1)
I was walking down that midnight street,
Shadows whispering at my feet.
A voice behind me called my name,
Promising fire, fortune, and fame.
I knew his face before I turned,
The devil’s grin, my soul he yearned.
Every step he followed close,
Tempting me with what I wanted most.
(Pre-Chorus)
But in the distance, a light broke through,
A steeple shining in silver hue.
I stumbled in, my heart undone,
Hoping for shelter from the One.
(Chorus)
I heard the preacher call my sin by name,
Spoke of a God who breaks every chain.
I fell to my knees, said, “Pray with me,”
The world slowed down to eternity.
Closed my eyes, felt my soul ascend,
Heaven’s gates opened, no more pretend.
God said, “My child, your fight is won,
You are forgiven, welcome home, my son.”
(Verse 2)
Golden streets and skies so wide,
I felt His mercy on every side.
No more weight, no need to run,
Love surrounded me like the sun.
Then a voice called soft and near,
“Wake, my son, you’re still needed here.”
(Bridge)
I opened my eyes, white walls all around,
Hospital lights and a steady sound.
The preacher came with a gentle smile,
“Are you ok?” he said after a while.
With tears in my eyes and a heart reborn,
I whispered softly, “I am forgiven.”
(Final Chorus)
I heard the preacher call my sin by name,
Spoke of a God who breaks every chain.
I fell to my knees, said, “Pray with me,”
The world slowed down to eternity.
Closed my eyes, felt my soul ascend,
Heaven’s gates opened, no more pretend.
God said, “My child, your fight is done,
You are forgiven, welcome home, my son.”
(Outro)
Now I walk a different road,
Grace is the only weight I hold.
The devil’s voice has lost its sway,
I am forgiven, forever, today.
