Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I was burned out, blacked out Sleeping in my truck outside the bar Had a Bible on the floorboard Collecting dust like my old guitar Mama kept on praying Daddy said, "Boy, you’re breaking her heart" But I just laughed it off Till I finally fell apart [Chorus] I should've been gone, in the ground, in the grave But somehow, someway, I got saved Pulled from the ditch where I laid in my shame Given a name I could never earn I ran and I ran, but Your love stayed Met me in the mess that I made Yeah, I was lost on a road I paved But You turned it around Now I'm standing here Saved [Verse 2] I remember that Sunday Sat in the back, hat in my hands Preacher talked about mercy Said, "It ain't about the kind of man you’ve been" Felt that flood in my chest When I heard there was grace for me Hit my knees on that worn-out rug And I finally got set free (oh yeah) [Chorus] I should've been gone, in the ground, in the grave But somehow, someway, I got saved Pulled from the ditch where I laid in my shame Given a name I could never earn I ran and I ran, but Your love stayed Met me in the mess that I made Yeah, I was lost on a road I paved But You turned it around Now I'm standing here Saved [Bridge] Now this ring on my finger These kids in the yard This peace in my pillow This healed-up heart Every breath, every blessing Every step that I take Is a story I’m singing Of a sinner You Saved [Chorus] I should've been gone, in the ground, in the grave But somehow, someway, I got saved Pulled from the ditch where I laid in my shame Given a name I could never earn I ran and I ran, but Your love stayed Met me in the mess that I made Yeah, I was lost on a road I paved But You turned it around Now I'm singing it loud Jesus, I am Saved

country, Modern arena country with male vocals, driving drums and gritty overdriven guitars under a wide-open steel guitar that cries on the turnarounds. Verses start in a mid-tempo, storytelling pocket, then the chorus hits bigger with stacked harmonies and a soaring steel hook. Dynamic bridge drops to half-time with intimate vocal before a final, triumphant chorus.
