Thorns & Grace

Intro (Whisper)

Found comfort in the dark…

Got that twenty-twenty sight…

Blind in the day — yeah, but perfect at night…

⸻

Verse 1 — Haunted by Grace (ORIGINAL)

Found comfort in the dark, I got 20-20 sight,

Blind in the day, but I’m perfect at night.

Every scar’s a scripture, every breath’s a fight,

I’m baptized in the lake — reborn in the light.

I walked through the fire, made peace with the burn,

Learned what I lost was the price to return.

I’m haunted, I’m chosen, I’m built from the pain,

I’m haunted by grace — and the blood calls my name.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

The silence screams — I don’t run,

In the fire — the enemy can’t burn.

What tried to break me made me see,

This war ain’t flesh — it’s inside of me.

⸻

Chorus

I’m the calm inside the riot, the flame they couldn’t tame,

Grace in the violence running through my veins.

I see the truth when the whole world’s blind,

Forged by the storm — yeah, by His design.

I died in the dark, now I walk in the light,

Lost in the war but I’m built for the fight.

The enemy whispers but he don’t get a throne,

I’ve been bought — yeah, this body ain’t my own.

⸻

Verse 2 — Post-Crusade (ORIGINAL)

The blood in my eyes distorts the sin,

I see through glass once shattered within.

My faith is a sword that remembers the screams,

Still wet with the oil of anointing and dreams.

I crawl from the garden with thorns in my skin,

The serpent still whispers — but Christ cuts in.

My bones hum psalms of the wars I’ve won,

I fell in His shadow — and rose in His name.

⸻

Pre-Chorus (Repeat)

The silence screams — I don’t run,

In the fire — the enemy can’t burn.

What tried to break me made me see,

This war ain’t flesh — it’s inside of me.

⸻

Chorus (Repeat)

⸻

Verse 3 — Refined (Paul Energy)

Chief of the sinners with blood on my hands,

Built my own kingdom on sinking sand.

Scales on my vision, I called it sight,

Till He broke the dark and rewrote my light.

Pressed in the furnace, I learned His name,

Chains in the fire still fell in the flame.

I don’t boast crowns, I remember the scars,

His power made perfect in what we are.

⸻

Bridge

Hear the echo — it calls my name,

Not what I was, I’m not the same.

Every flame that tried to take me down,

Only proved I’m kingdom-bound.

Let it burn — every lie, every chain,

Every version of me built in pain.

I don’t fight for approval — I fight from grace,

The war’s been won — now I run my race.

⸻

Final Chorus

I’m the calm inside the riot, the storm they couldn’t break,

Mercy in the chaos with every step I take.

I see the truth when the whole world’s blind,

Forged by the storm — yeah, by His design.

I died in the dark, now I walk in the light,

Lost in the war but I’m built for the fight.

The enemy whispers — but I know the tone,

I’ve been redeemed — yeah, this life ain’t my own.

⸻

Outro (Whisper)

Found comfort in the dark…

Perfect at night…
