I Met The Lord

Verse 1 I was walking through a restless night, Searching hard for truth and light. Every road I chose to roam Still left my heart so far from home. I tried to fill the empty space With fleeting dreams I couldn’t chase— But in my brokenness outpoured, That’s the night I met the Lord. Chorus Oh, I met the Lord on a lonely road, When I was bent beneath my load. He called my name, I heard His word, And peace like I had never known stirred. He took my sin, He healed my scars, He placed His hope within my heart. My life has never been the same Since the night I called His name. Verse 2 There were tears upon my face, But mercy met me in that place. No thunder rolled, no mountain moved, Just quiet love that gently proved That He had known me all along, Every weakness, every wrong. Yet still His arms were open wide When I knelt down at His side. Chorus Yes, I met the Lord on a lonely road, When I was crushed beneath my load. He spoke forgiveness to my soul, And suddenly my heart was whole. He took my fear, He gave me grace, He set my feet in a wider place. My life has never been the same Since the night I called His name. Bridge Now the road is sometimes steep, And there are valleys dark and deep, But I remember where He found me And the price He paid to turn me around. And when the tempter whispers lies, I lift my head and fix my eyes On the One who saved my soul And made this broken sinner whole. Final Chorus (strong and hopeful) Oh, I met the Lord on a lonely road, And He lifted up my heavy load. He filled my heart with heaven’s song, And gave me strength to carry on. From that day till eternity, His love keeps walking close to me. My life has never been the same— Since the night… Yes, the night… I called His name.
