Same Place

Inspired by Psalm 25:18, this song is about bringing both our suffering and our sin before God with honesty and surrender. Rather than demanding immediate relief from pain, it reflects a heart that longs even more deeply for forgiveness, trusting God with affliction while pleading for cleansing and mercy. Lyrics by Pingkian Saria [Verse 1] I been carrying this weight again Didn’t even know where it began Little aches in a restless heart Feel so loud in the dark Told You things I thought were small Like they didn’t matter much at all But You hear each quiet cry Even when I hide [Pre-Chorus] You don’t turn away from me Even when I can’t see [Chorus] So I bring it all to the same place All my sorrow, all my shame I won’t separate the pain from grace I just call Your name If You leave the hurt, I’ll still stay If You take it, I will praise Just don’t let me walk away With my sin unchanged [Verse 2] I would ask You take the pain Make it stop, just ease the rain Leave the deeper things alone Like I’m fine on my own But now I see it differently There’s a war inside of me I can live with heavy days Not with sin that stays [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need to understand I just place it in Your hands [Chorus] So I bring it all to the same place All my sorrow, all my shame I won’t separate the pain from grace I just call Your name If You leave the hurt, I’ll still stay If You take it, I will praise Just don’t let me walk away With my sin unchanged [Bridge] Look upon my trouble, Lord I won’t ask for something more Just be near me in the night Hold me in Your sight But for sin I’m crying out Wash me clean, remove the doubt I can’t carry this alone I need mercy at Your throne [Outro Chorus] So I bring it all to the same place Every wound and every stain Let Your mercy meet me face to face Let it fall like rain If the road is long, I’ll still stay If it’s hard, I’ll still believe Just don’t let me walk away Without being free
