Lyrics

I was lost out on a back road bend,
Running from the love I need.
Then Your mercy found me at the edge,
And Your grace came pulling me in.
You reached down when I was far gone,
Pulled me close and set me free,
Now the love I give You, Lord,
Is the song You put in me.

I was drifting, losing ground,
Didn't know what I had found.
A quiet whisper, then a shout,
Turning all my fear to doubt.

You stayed with me,
When I had nothing left to bring.
Every breath
Turns back into praise.
You carried me, Lord,
Every step of the way.

Like a river finding the sea,
Your love kept coming after me.
Through the valleys, through the hard parts,
You were steady under me.
I didn’t earn that kind of touch,
I didn’t talk my heart to peace,
But You came and called me home,
And now my voice won’t leave.


I was drifting, losing ground,
Didn't know what I had found.
A quiet whisper, then a shout,
Turning all my fear to doubt.

You stayed with me,
When I had nothing left to bring.
Every breath
Turns back into praise.
You carried me, Lord,
Every step of the way.

I was out there with the engine idling,
Keys in my hand, half turned around.
Then You said, “Come in, the door’s open,”
And I let that silence settle down.
No more sleeping in the porch light,
No more running from the welcome sign—
I was gone, but You kept the table warm,
And You saved me a seat inside.

I was drifting, losing ground,
Didn't know what I had found.
A quiet whisper, then a shout,
Turning all my fear to doubt.

You stayed with me,
When I had nothing left to bring.
Every breath
Turns back into praise.
You carried me, Lord,
Until my dying day.

Your mercy carried me,
You made the captive free.
Every breath
Turns back into praise.
You carried me, Lord,
