Redemption Lyrics

Dear Father God

It's that David and Goliath type of relationship

You know I'm playing with fire

And lately, Goliath's been kicking my tail

And I'm getting kind of sick of it

Cause I've been struggling

I need some help

And I don't know where to go

In wanting worldly desires

I don't know what to do

Came up from the bottom, I was deep in the flames

Chain smoking my pain and I got lost in the shame

Every bottle, every pill was a road to my grave

But I whispered in my soul, son, you were born to be brave

Knights on my knees, tears flood the floor

And I'm begging God for a purpose, Lord, I can't take no more

He said, child, you're chosen, it's time to rise

You're not defined by the scars but fight that's in your eyes

So I climbed out the wreckage, left that poison behind

And with his hand on my shoulder, I can steady my mind

No longer chasing the numb, now I'm chasing the light

And every step is redemption, I'm reclaiming my life

Why am I so weak

When I claim to be strong

Why don't I listen to you speak

When I know I'm wrong

I'm in the streets where I used to run, wild and reckless

Now I'm speaking life, and I'm giving hope to the helpless

Telling my story so they know they're not alone

If I made it out the darkness, then you too can find a home

Used to drown my demons, now I face them in fight

With God's armor on me, I'm a soldier in the light

And I'm building bridges where they used to burn

And I'm showing love to the lost, teaching them where they should turn

Cause I know what it's like to feel trapped in despair

But his mercy rescued me when nobody else cared

Now I'm giving back, and I'm making my life a sign

That his power can save, transform, and even shine

Why am I so weak

When I claim to be strong

Why don't I listen to you speak

When I know I'm wrong

This is for the broken, the lost, the afflicted

For every soul that addiction has constricted

God's love is greater than the depths of your fall

And when you feel like you're drowning, just give him a call

Every stumble, every scar is a piece of the plan

He turns pain into purpose, you just gotta stand

Look at me, I'm living proof, you can rewrite the end

With God on your side, every wound will mend

So I thank you, Lord, for the life that you've given

For the grace, the strength, and the hope that I'm living

From the dirt to the sky, I'm a new creation

Forever praising your name and appreciation

Cause I beat the odds, and I broke the chains

And through all the fire, and through all the rain

Now I'm standing tall, and I'm living proof

That God's grace is real, and he's the living truth

This one's for anyone who's ever felt lost in your life

With any reason, just know that God has got you

One step, one prayer, one day

Call out to him, he's waiting for you

He wants to fix you

He loves you

More than anything

Go and get some of that love

Go and get something like that

Dear Father God, I pray right now

That you receive the broken when they call out to you

Lord, and that you come in and you mend

Each and every scar, piece by piece

And build them back up into the mighty child of God

That you want them to be, that they are

You're the ultimate dad, God

And I love you, and I know

That you're gonna fix some broken people

Because you fixed me

In Jesus's holy, holy name

Amen
