hell train derailed

Verse 1

Lord, I speak to the shadow that followed my feet,

The echo of fear, every doubt in me.

We rode through the night on borrowed belief,

On rails made of regret and unbelief.

I thought this road only led me down,

Thought I’d gone too far to turn around,

But even in darkness, You called my name,

And the train still moved when when you broke the chain.

Pre-Chorus

I heard Your voice above the sound,

Grace was louder than the ground,

You said, “Child, this is not your end.”

Chorus

We were riding the night train headed for hell,

But mercy met us where we fell,

You stood between the fire and me,

And called my soul to believe.

You stopped the train in a better place,

Where broken hearts are saved by grace,

And when the time is right, by faith, not sight,

We’ll board the train to heaven.

Verse 2

Jesus, You saw what I tried to hide,

Every compromise, every time I died,

Still You stayed, You never turned,

Your love was constant, Your mercy burned.

The shadow bowed when You spoke light,

Chains fell off in the middle of the night,

I’m not who I was, I’m Yours again,

Redeemed by blood, restored as a friend.

Pre-Chorus

You rewrote every destiny,

The cross became the victory,

The grave could not outrun Your love.

Chorus

We were riding the night train headed for hell,

But mercy met us where we fell,

You stood between the fire and me,

And called my soul to believe.

You stopped the train in a better place,

Where broken hearts are saved by grace,

And when the time is right, by faith, not sight,

We’ll board the train to heaven.

Bridge (worship build – repeatable)

You are the way, You are the door,

You are the hope we’re waiting for.

You are the Lamb, You are the King,

You are the song the rescued sing.

Tag / Spontaneous

From death to life, from shame to glory,

You rewrote my whole story.

Final Chorus

We were riding the night train headed for hell,

But mercy met us where we fell,

Your love stood firm, Your cross stood tall,

Stronger than the weight of it all.

You stopped the train in a better place,

Where sinners stand in saving grace,

And when the time is right, by faith, not sight,

We’ll board the train to heaven.

Outro

All glory, all honor,

All praise to the Son—

The journey is finished,

But the worship’s begun.
