Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I chased every backroad dream Burned up money, burned up time Thought I knew what freedom was With my hands on my own life Sunday songs just passed me by Like a station on the dial Never let Your words sink in I just drove another mile [Chorus] But I’m better off with You, Lord Better than I’ve ever been before Why’d it take a broken heart For me to see what I was living for? Now Your grace is in my story Where my pride once tried to win I’m better off with You, Lord Than I ever was back then [Verse 2] I wore out a barroom stool Called it “home” most every night Laughed along to cover up That quiet ache I felt inside Mama’s prayers kept holding on When I was hanging by a thread Didn’t know it was Your hand Catching all the tears I shed [Chorus] Oh I’m better off with You, Lord Better than I’ve ever been before Why’d it take a shattered plan For me to open up that dusty door? Now Your mercy walks beside me Where my fear once settled in I’m better off with You, Lord Than I ever was back then [Bridge] I don’t deserve this second chance (no I don’t) But You still called my name again (called me home) Now I’m praying for my neighbors For my family, for my friends That they’d find what I’d been missing In Your arms that never end [Chorus] ‘Cause we’re better off with You, Lord Better than we’ve ever been before If they’re feeling lost tonight Let Your love come rushing to their door I’m so thankful for this friendship For the peace You’ve pulled me into I’m better off with You, Lord And I hope they find You too

country, Warm modern country ballad with male vocals, gentle acoustic guitar and soft pedal steel; verses stay intimate and storytelling, chorus blooms with harmony stacks and light organ bed, brushed drums entering by second chorus. Subtle dynamic lift into a heartfelt bridge, then a tender, grateful final chorus that invites a crowd singalong.
