Chains broke loose but I never saw the key Trying to climb that ladder but it ain't the remedy The law’s a mirror showing dirt on my face But it can't clean me up that's a different kind of grace I was running in circles chasing my pride Counting all my steps but my soul still cried The weight of the law heavy like a stone Faith lit the fire now I'm never alone Mountains of rules but I couldn't reach the peak Every checkmark felt hollow every win felt weak The law was a shadow it pointed to the light But grace took my darkness and made it bright I tried to buy my way but the cost was steep Built my own bridges but the river ran deep Then faith stretched it's hand said “i got you here” Now the weight's off my chest and my mind is clear Not the wages I earn not the lessons I learn But the faith I return to the One who burns Faith over works that's the truth I know It ain't by the grind it ain't by the show Through the faith of Christ I found my flow Faith over works that's the way I grow This is Romans Woke up today with a battle inside A shadow whispers but my heart won't hide Good on my lips but my hands still shake Tugging at my soul which path do I take I wanna rise but the weight's so strong Right feels right but wrong sings its song I carry this war like a chain on my chest Can't shake the fight can't find no rest The law is holy but I'm breaking apart I know what's right but it ain't in my heart Like a thief in the night sin creeps in slow I try to resist but the cracks still show The good I want it's a fading flame The wrong I hate it still calls my name I'm two sides of a coin spinning in air Caught in this cycle a cross to bear Who can save me from this wretched state A prisoner of self a twisted fate But there's grace there's hope there's a name I know A light in the dark let the mercy flow It's the tig of war it's the pull and the push Wanna stand tall but I sink in the rush It's the tug of war between dark and light Caught in the middle of a sinner’s fight This is Romans Chains broke like thunder in the night A love so deep it redefines right While we were weak yeah drowning in sin He stepped in He stepped in let the healing begin Grace poured out like rain in a drought Mercy shouted louder than any doubt No condemnation no shame to hold His sacrifice bought my soul tenfold What can separate not height not depth Not life not death not my last breath Romans eight that promise stands tall Through it all through it all He catches my fall His blood rewrote the story of pain From wrath to peace He broke every chain While the world spins wild His love stays still A sovereign grace bending to His will Hope that won't fade a Spirit alive A heartbeat of mercy keeps me revived While I stumble while I stray His redemption light still paves my way Unbreakable love it never let's go Through fire through flood through highs and lows Grace unearned mercy untamed Redemption speaks I'm forever claimed This is Romans
