The Hands That Held Me

Verse 1: I’ve walked through fire I never chose, Carried the weight nobody knows. Tried to be strong, but I came undone, Lost in the dark, I reached for the Son. And when the silence was louder than prayer, Your whisper found me standing there. You didn’t wait for me to stand tall, You met me broken — You met me all. Chorus: You were the hands that held me, When I was too far gone. The mercy that rebuilt me, When all my faith was gone. Every scar and story, You’ve written grace through pain. I once was lost in my own glory, But You called my name again. Verse 2: The church bells rang, but I stayed outside, Ashamed of the mess I tried to hide. But You don’t build walls — You tear them down, And call the prodigals back to town. You took the sinner I’d come to fear, And turned my guilt into something clear. Now I can see, it was never me, It was Your love that set me free. Chorus: You were the hands that held me, When I was too far gone. The mercy that rebuilt me, When all my faith was gone. Every scar and story, You’ve written grace through pain. I once was lost in my own glory, But You called my name again. Bridge: And now I’m standing in the light, Not because I got it right — But ‘cause Your cross still stands in sight, And every wrong You’ve made it right. Final Chorus (lifted): You were the hands that held me, Through every shattered song. You were the hope that filled me, When I had none at all. Every scar now tells Your glory, Every tear became a prayer. You were the hands that held me there… And You’re still holding me here.
