Lyrics

From Rage To Grace

Chorus:
Even in my darkest, You kept me safe,
In my reckless hour, You still showed grace.
Not by power or strength--just love that stays,
I'm welcome in the Father's arms.

I'm gonna tell the whole wide world,
How You saved me from self, from sin, from the swirl.
You broke my chains, and calmed my storms, Oh sweet Lord--
Now I rest in the shelter of Your arms.

Verse 1:
I grew up chasing dreams with shattered feet,
A voice unheard, alone on every street.
They told me fight, but tied my hands so tight,
Still I pressed on, through every sleepless night.

Pre-Chorus:
At home, the storms would rage with no relief,
No shelter there, just silence and belief.
In every room, a different kind of pain,
And smiles were just umbrellas in the rain.

Chorus:
Even in my darkest, You kept me safe,
In my reckless hour, You still showed grace.
Not by power or strength--just love that stays,
I'm welcome in the Father's arms.

I'm gonna tell the whole wide world,
How You saved me from self, from sin, from the swirl.
You broke my chains, and calmed my storms, Oh sweet Lord--
Now I rest in the shelter of Your arms.

Verse 2:
I tried to carve my way and stand up tall,
But every step I took just made me fall.
This world felt rigged, no justice in the game,
And every loss just filled my heart with shame.

Pre-Chorus:
At home, the storms would rage with no relief,
No shelter there, just silence and belief.
In every room, a different kind of pain,
And smiles were just umbrellas in the rain.

Chorus:
Even in my darkest, You kept me safe,
In my reckless hour, You still showed grace.
Not by power or strength--just love that stays,
I'm welcome in the Father's arms.

I'm gonna tell the whole wide world,
How You saved me from self, from sin, from the swirl.
You broke my chains, and calmed my storms, Oh sweet Lord--
Now I rest in the shelter of Your arms.
