[Verse 1]
Used to wake up with the weight on my chest
Scrollin' through the mess, tryna outrun stress
Then I cracked that Book, dust on the spine
Red letters hit, felt a hand on mine
Walkin' past the church, beat in my ear
Thought I had to be perfect to appear
But they opened up the doors, “come as you are”
Stained glass colors on my old scars
[Chorus]
I’m grateful for Jesus, that’s my lifeline
Mercy on replay in my mind
Hope in my chest when the days get cold
Every verse that I read feels like pure gold
I’m grateful for Jesus, that’s my lifeline
Mercy on replay in my mind
Hope in my chest when the days get cold
Every verse that I read feels like pure gold
[Verse 2]
Highlighters all over those thin white pages
Little notes in the margins from my younger ages
Every promise like a light in the hall
When my faith feels small, still I hear that call
Yeah, I stumbled in the dark, but I’m still His
Grace in the middle of the things I did
When the guilt plays loud, tryna steal my sleep
I remember that the Shepherd doesn’t lose His sheep
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Hands up, eyes closed, in my own room
Heart beating like a kick drum, boom
Whispered prayers over midnight fear
“I’m with you, I’m with you,” that’s all I hear
[low vocal register]
Even when I’m broken, I’m not alone
Even when I’m lost, I’m already known
[Chorus]
