[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Final Chorus]
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
