Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I've been trying to do things right
But all I knew was a lie
Lost my grandpa, grandma, grandma too
And I couldn’t see You through
I was angry at the heavens
My heart was filled with blame
I shouted at a silent sky
Questioned even Your name
[Verse 2]
I wandered through the shadows
Feeling lost and all alone
Every prayer felt unanswered
Every tear carved in stone
I blamed You for the pain I knew
The empty chair, the fading light
But still I heard a whisper soft
“Child, I’ve never left your side”
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the silence started breaking
Like a whisper through the storm
“You don’t have to earn My love”
“I’ve already paid the cost”
[Chorus]
On my knees beneath the cross
I finally saw the light
Grace was written in Your scars
You were there the whole time
You carried all my anger
So I wouldn't have to hide
Jesus, You became my hope
When my faith had died
[Bridge]
It was never my strength alone
It was always Your love
Through the tears, through the loss
You were lifting me above
