Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Boot prints on the barroom floor Whiskey stains on a motel drawer Cross on a chain I never wore Just swung on my chest like a rusted door Ashtray breath and a busted prayer Mama’s Bible in the rocking chair I heard my name in the midnight air Like thunder rolling through my own despair [Pre-Chorus] I was hollow as a dry old well Buying little sparks on the road to hell Then a crack of light cut straight through me Like a nail-scarred hand reaching in to pull me free [Chorus] Now this sinner’s singing I was lost, now I’m found Heart on fire on this holy ground I was knee-deep in my shame and doubt But You turned my grave to a shouting house (oh yeah) You broke my chains when You called my name Was a runaway train now I’m off that track You took this dust made a diamond back I was all burned out now I’m burning bright This sinner’s singing in the saving light [Verse 2] Sunday bells through the morning rain Hit me harder than the strongest drink Saw that steeple in the windowpane Like an arrow pointing where my heart should sink Hit my knees on a gravel road Tears ran black from the life I’d known Felt that mercy in my marrow bone Like a voice that said, “Son, you’re already home” [Pre-Chorus] I was broken as a busted wheel Couldn’t turn at all couldn’t even feel Then Your quiet truth cut through my lies Like sunrise spilling through these midnight eyes [Chorus] Now this sinner’s singing I was lost, now I’m found Heart on fire on this holy ground I was knee-deep in my shame and doubt But You turned my grave to a shouting house (hey!) You broke my chains when You called my name Was a runaway train now I’m off that track You took this dust made a diamond back I was all burned out now I’m burning bright This sinner’s singing in the saving light [Bridge] I don’t carry what You laid down I don’t wear that crooked crown Every scar You’ve signed Your name Holy handwriting on an old outlaw’s shame [Chorus] Now this sinner’s singing I was lost, now I’m found Heart on fire on this holy ground I was knee-deep in my shame and doubt But You turned my grave to a shouting house (woah) You broke my chains when You called my name Was a runaway train now I’m off that track You took this dust made a diamond back I was all burned out now I’m burning bright This sinner’s singing in the saving light This sinner’s singing in Your saving light

country, Dark cinematic country-gospel hybrid: low strings, tremolo guitars, and upright bass under a dusty baritone male vocal. Verse sits in a brooding half-time sway, choir whispers in the background. Chorus explodes into double-time stomps, bright fiddle runs, and full male choir answering the lead. Sub hits underline key lines, timpani rolls into a soaring final refrain with stacked harmonies and a long reverb tail., orchestral, healing, male vocals, happy
