For so long I carried the weight of my past

for so long i carried the weight of my past
cripple by burdens like stones on my back
i thought i had fallen too far from your grace
but you came and showed me the way


when i was lost soul searching
you were the ground beneath my feet
when i was blind man begging
you were the eyes so i could see
when the smoke was rising up
you were the air that i could breath
you gave me hope you gave me something to believe


now i’m alive and born again
rescued from the grip of sin
god your love came crashing in
and pulled me out of the fire
i’m a survivor


now all i can see are the fields of your grace
wherever i run your leading the way
you shook the shackles off my feet
i found redemption on my knees
you gave me hope you gave me something to believe


now i’m alive and born again
rescued from the grip of sin
god your love came crashing in
and pulled me out of the fire
i’m a survivor
oh i’m a survivor


you’re my god
you’re my fighter
you make me a survivor


now i’m alive and born again
rescued from the grip of sin
god your love came crashing in
and pulled me out of the fire
i’m a survivor
oh i’m a survivor
you pulled me out of the fire
i’m a survivor
