Intro
Yeah…
808s knockin’ like my heart did back then
I was dead on my feet, God brought me back in
Chorus
I was lost in the pit, now I’m saved by the flame
Cross on my chest, carved deep in the pain
Tried to drown my sins, but He called my name
Grace in the grave, yeah, He broke them chains
Devil had my soul in a death grip tight
God pulled me out when I lost my sight
From the dirt, from the drugs, from the sleepless nights
Only reason I’m breathin’—Christ
Verse 1
Walked through hell with a smile, yeah, I hid it well
Every vice I touched turned my life to a cell
Had demons in my head, had demons in my veins
Prayin’ to a bottle, thinkin’ that would ease the pain
Mama cried every night, said “boy, please change”
I was numb to the truth, yeah, addicted to shame
Mirror full of ghosts, couldn’t recognize me
Sold my peace for a hit, that’s the price I paid, see
Rock bottom felt like a permanent home
Every bridge I burned left me more alone
I screamed at the sky like, “God, where you at?”
Didn’t know He was there every step that I cracked
Chorus
I was lost in the pit, now I’m saved by the flame
Cross on my chest, carved deep in the pain
Tried to drown my sins, but He called my name
Grace in the grave, yeah, He broke them chains
Devil had my soul in a death grip tight
God pulled me out when I lost my sight
From the dirt, from the drugs, from the sleepless nights
Only reason I’m breathin’—Christ
Verse 2
Blood on the page when I write these lines
Every bar’s a confession, every word’s a sign
I ain’t proud of the past, but it shaped my voice
God gave me free will, still He gave me a choice
I was playin’ with death, thinkin’ life was a joke
Laughin’ through the smoke while my spirit broke
He met me in the dark, didn’t turn away
Loved me at my worst when I couldn’t pray
Now I walk with a light that I can’t explain
Still scarred, still flawed, but I ain’t the same
Devil still whispers, yeah, I hear that sound
But God louder than the grave when He shut it down
Bridge
If I die tonight, I know where I’m goin’
Not ‘cause I’m perfect, but ‘cause He was chosen
Washed in the blood, yeah, the debt got paid
From suicidal thoughts to unshakable faith
Chorus (Final)
I was lost in the pit, now I’m saved by the flame
Cross on my chest, carved deep in the pain
Tried to drown my sins, but He called my name
Grace in the grave, yeah, He broke them chains
Devil had my soul in a death grip tight
God pulled me out when I lost my sight
From the dirt, from the drugs, from the sleepless nights
Only reason I’m breathin’—Christ
