Lyrics

I’ve walked roads that felt endless, where the pain was hard to hide. And the weight of all my failures pulled me down from every side. Way deep in those dark shadows, faith and hope were running thin. On the edge and at rock bottom, I heard Your footsteps walking… walking toward my sin. Lost and unforgiven, I said to Bart: I’ll follow Him. June started with days of thunder, but in the end I found my kin. You didn’t ask me for perfection. You didn’t tell me to be strong. You simply lifted me in mercy and showed me I belong. You set me free no chains on me I can’t explain, and don’t know why. You made me lie in pastures green and led me to the quiet waters. You placed peace inside my trembling heart and restored my weary soul. Even in the darkest valley I am never alone. You are always with me. Your rod and staff will bring me home. A table stands before me in the presence of my fear. And the enemies that broke me start to tremble when You’re near. You pour oil upon my wounds until the hurt begins to fade. And the cup I thought was empty overflows with endless grace. Surely goodness and Your mercy have been running after me. Through the storms I tried to run, through the nights I could not breathe. All my life You carried me, even when I walked away. Goodness followed through my wandering. Mercy met me in my shame. And when this life is over, when I breathe my final sigh, Your hand will lift me gently to the house where I’ll abide. You lead me through the shadows, always at my side. I found the quiet waters and everlasting light. You restored what life had stolen. Even in my final valley You will never let me go. For You are with me. That is how great You are. For those still not understanding, I’ll end with one more line: Seek the truth and you will find Him. Walk his word and you’ll be fine.
