[Verse 1]
I found you broken and lost
Shaking hands
Shallow breath
World on your shoulders
Crushing
Eyes that had forgotten rest
I watched the weight pile higher
Bills and voices
Every side
You thought you were disappearing
You thought you had to hide
[Chorus]
But I gave you trials to build your strength
Storm by storm
Step by step
I gave you chances just to serve
So your pride could catch its breath
Every crack and every crisis
Cut and carved you through the stress
I built you
A diamond priceless
Shining fearless from your chest
[Verse 2]
You washed the feet no one saw
Held the door
Swept the floor
Stayed up late with the lonely
Took the call at half past four
Those little yeses in the shadows
Where applause could never reach
Turned your heart into a lantern
Turned your hurting into peace
[Chorus]
’Cause I gave you trials to build your strength
Storm by storm
Step by step
I gave you chances just to serve
So your pride could catch its breath
Every crack and every crisis
Cut and carved you through the stress
I built you
A diamond priceless
Shining fearless from your chest
[Bridge]
You were certain you were shattered (oh)
But you were only being shaped
Pressure turned to clarity
Now you light up every place
[Chorus]
I gave you trials to build your strength
Storm by storm
Step by step
I gave you opportunities to serve
So your soul could find its rest
Every crack and every crisis
Cut and carved you through the stress
I built you
A diamond priceless
Now you know that you are blessed
