He said

Verse 1:

I’ve been broken down at the edge of the end,

Fought through battles I never could defend.

Cried through pain that nobody saw,

Thoughts so loud they could shake the floor.

Verse 2:

And I’ve been the one who wanted to leave,

But something unseen wouldn’t let me breathe.

Held me close when I tried to fall,

Whispered, “Child, you’re not done at all.”

Chorus:

He said—

“I don’t lead the perfect, I lead the broken,

I speak in silence, and hearts left open.

Lift your head, your work’s not through,

I’ve always had My hand on you.”

Verse 3:

I’ve walked through valleys, felt the cold,

Wrestled with shadows that never grow old.

I’ve lived past my own prediction,

Still breathing through this strange conviction.

Bridge:

I’ve sinned, I’ve strayed, I’ve cursed the sky,

Felt too unworthy to even try.

But You pick me up when I’ve had enough,

With a voice that’s fire, and a shove that's love.

Chorus:

You said—

“I don’t lead the perfect, I lead the broken,

The ones whose hearts are barely open.

You're here for love, to teach and show

That mercy’s more than they’ll ever know.”

Verse 4:

Teach them how to wait, how to see,

How to love with no judgment, just empathy.

Never settle, never stall,

Always rise when you start to fall.

And now I stand tall.
