I was a shadow of a man

Just barely holding on

Each day felt like a battle

I'd already lost

The nights were cold and empty

The silence cut like knives

I was staring at the bottom

Of a bottle for my life

But somewhere in the stillness

I heard a quiet call

A whisper in the darkness

Saying, \"Son, don't you fall\"

I found grace in the darkness

A light through the storm

When I was broken and battered

He kept me warm

He reached down to my heart

When I thought it was gone

I found God in the shadows

And now I'm moving on

The tears fell like a river

As I fell to my knees

Crying, \"Lord

If You're out there

Would You rescue me?\"

And just like that

The weight I'd carried for so long

Was lifted by His mercy

And I felt I'd finally belonged

Now every step I take feels

Like a brand-new start

With His love as my compass

There's a fire in my heart

I found grace in the darkness

A light through the storm

When I was broken and battered

He kept me warm

He reached down to my heart

When I thought it was gone

I found God in the shadows

And now I'm moving on

Oh, the road's still rocky

But I'm not walking alone

He turned my pain to purpose

And now I've found a home

No longer chained by sorrow

No longer lost in fear

His love has filled the emptiness

I carried all those years

I found grace in the darkness

A light through the storm

When I was broken and battered

He kept me warm

He reached down to my heart

When I thought it was gone

I found God in the shadows

And now I'm moving on
