[Verse 1]
I was walking past midnight
Heart like a crime scene
Taped off
Every shadow knew my secrets
Every corner felt like a cut-off
They were waiting in the alley
Hate in their hands like chains
I could taste my own last heartbeat
Thought this was the end of my name
[Chorus]
He found me in the fire
Pulled me from the wire
I didn't call His name
He still broke my chains
I didn’t find God
He found me
On the floor of that dark dead end street
Now every breath I breathe
Is a witness I’m still free
[Verse 2]
I remember that cold hand
Reaching toward my face
Then a siren split the silence
Like a trumpet full of grace
I don’t know how it happened
They just scattered
Dropped their rage
All I saw was flashing mercy
Painting red on every page
[Chorus]
He found me in the fire
Pulled me from the wire
I didn't call His name
He still broke my chains
I didn’t find God
He found me
On the floor of that dark dead end street
Now every breath I breathe
Is a witness I’m still free
[Bridge]
I’ve wrestled with the nightmares
Still feel hands around my throat
But a stronger hand is holding
Every shiver in my bones
When the demons start their talking
Saying
“You were meant to die”
I throw back my living heartbeat
Like a fist into their eyes (yeah!)
[Chorus]
He found me in the fire
Pulled me from the wire
I didn't call His name
He still broke my chains
I didn’t find God
He found me
Where the blood met the concrete
Now every breath I breathe
Sings
“My God rescued me”
[Outro]
He found me in the fire
He found me in the fire
I didn’t find God
He found me
And He’ll find you when you can’t see
