Hero In The Making Lyrics

I used to be ashamed of where I've been

Caught up in a cyclone of guilt and sin

And if I saw a picture of myself back then

I never thought I'd be a hero in the making

I know you've got a story that you can't admit

Broken floorboards with a throw rug fix

And I don't know the ending, all I know is this

I never thought I'd be

A hero in the making

I was looking for the light on the inside

But there was only darkness before you rushed in

It took some time to believe that I was

Buried and raised with you

I'm moving forward, never looking behind

I'll drink the Covenant Cup

And spend the rest of my life

On a marathon of Grace

I never thought I'd be

A hero in the making

I know I'm not the hero that I must become

But I'm not an orphan when you call me son

So I won't rest until the war is won

I never thought I'd be a hero in the making

You have taken hold of this sinful man

Lifted me up with your righteous hand

Raised with Christ, I have been born again

I never thought I'd be

A hero in the making

I was looking for the light on the inside

But there was only darkness before you rushed in

It took some time to believe that I was

Buried and raised with you

I'm moving forward, never looking behind

I'll drink the Covenant Cup

And spend the rest of my life

On a marathon of Grace

You're the hero I've embraced

It's the meaning of being made in the image of You

Heaven and earth kiss

Skin and bone confess

(Jesus)

Green and stone

Jealous for it

(Glory)

Adoption

Father, Spirit, Son

Where have all the heroes gone?

I used to think that heroes were a perfect breed

Blessed is the sinner on a bended knee

There's not a death I wouldn't die for my King

I never thought I'd be

A hero in the making

I was looking for the light on the inside

But there was only darkness before you rushed in

It took some time to believe that I was

Buried and raised with you

I'm moving forward, never looking behind

I'll drink the Covenant Cup

And spend the rest of my life

On a marathon of Grace

I never thought I'd be

A hero in the making
