Angels Close Shadow

Lost a lot… but I never lost faith Lights went dark… stimakinwalked that way Couldn’t see what You had for me Now I know—it was deeper than me Wasn’t alone though I felt that weight Through the fire, You were makin’ a way Angels close, in Your shadow I stay Now I rise—I don’t fear, I don’t break “I am with you”… yeah, that voice don’t fade Through the night, through the doubt, through the pain What I lost, You restored and remade Now I stand—yeah, I’m safe in Your name Lost a lot, but I never lost faith When the lights disappeared, couldn’t see my place Still a deeper love kept callin’ my name Through the silence, pressure, and the weight of the pain Where’s that better place? I stayed movin’ on Actin’ normal, stay busy, just holdin’ strong “Don’t be afraid, don’t be discouraged” Every step I took, I felt You encourage It was You all along, tryna take me home Even when I felt like I walked alone Now I see what I couldn’t before Every closed door led me closer to Yours Angels on my side, Most High my shade Losses turn to blessings, every debt repaid No fear in my bones, I’m safe and sound Even in the dark, I’m standin’ my ground “I am with you”—I hear that call No matter where I go, You held me through it all Every step I take is proof I believe What was meant to break me couldn’t take from me Safe and sound, I’m covered in grace Even in the valley, I can see Your face No fear now, I don’t walk alone You were with me the whole time—bringin’ me home Beneath that pale, cold winter sun Found hope and strength in what was left undone Faced my fear through the hurt and noise Truth spoke louder than the lies in my voice Words from the world tried to label my name Stories buried deep, covered in shame But the mirror don’t lie—I’m changin’ form Every old scar now a place reborn In the shadows, yeah, shame won fights But I’m standin’ now, bringin’ truth to light Lift the Word, speak life to the pain No more room for the fear or the chains Walls built up in a war unseen Now they fall down—every stronghold flee Chains break loose, hear the freedom sound I was lost, now I’m chosen, now I’m found Battle was long but the war been done “Thy will be done”—like the rising sun Bind my soul to the King above Shatter the silence—He speak in love Pulled from the dark, yeah, forged through pain Every loss I took wasn’t all in vain Favor restin’ on the ones who stand Now I rise up—I understand “I am with you”—still that call remains Through the fire, through the loss, through the rain What tried to break me fell apart Broken made chosen—rebuilt heart Lanterns lit, now I see my path Left the past, I ain’t goin’ back Slowly, steady—yeah, here I stand Not by might… but by Your hand Take control—I’ll do my part Didn’t just stop… I chose to start No fear left, no second guess Less confusion… more purpose… more rest Lost a lot… but I never lost faith Now I see… You were makin’ a way
