[Intro]
Yeah
This Jayson
All glory up
Never us
[Verse 1]
Used to wake up with a weight on my chest
Dark in my room, dark in my head
Hands on the bottle, heart on the floor
Still heard You knock, soft at the door
I was chasing the smoke, they were calling it love
Trading my peace for a momentary buzz
Ran from my pain till I ran out of road
Knees hit the carpet, heavy with the load
I said, "Jesus, if You real, I need You now"
Tears on my face, couldn’t fake it, couldn’t smile
Felt those chains snap, drop to the ground
Still hear that freedom in the silence now
[Chorus]
I lay my life down for Jesus
He laid His life down for me
He broke my chains to free us
Pulled me up out that deep
When demons circle around me
He stands in front of the heat
I lay my life down for Jesus
He laid His life down for me
[Verse 2]
Used to see shadows in the corner at night
Voices in my head trying to twist what’s right
You walked me through the valley, hand on my back
Said, "Keep your eyes on Me, don’t look at the trap"
I seen friends fall, some never got up
Seen mamas pray, eyes swollen, hands cuffed
You kept breath in my lungs when I swore I was done
Now every bar that I spit just points to the Son
Bible on the dashboard, faith in the ride
Armor on daily, You my guard, my guide
When that old fear whispers, trying to drag me again
I just speak Your name, and that darkness thins
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
If it wasn’t for the blood, where would I be? (where?)
Probably six feet down, or locked, not free
But You stepped in the fire, stood in my place
Now I carry that cross, unashamed by grace
[Chorus]
