VERSE 1

I been running from my shadow,
tryna hide from what I’ve done.
I keep losing to my habits,
I keep breaking what I’ve become.
There’s a voice inside that tells me
I ain’t worthy of Your grace,
But You whisper through the wreckage,
“Child, I never looked away.”

PRE-CHORUS

And all the nights I cursed my breathing,
all the tears I tried to drown—
You were holding every heartbeat,
You were kneeling on holy ground.

CHORUS

If You saw my worst… why did You love me first?
If I fall again, Lord, will You hold me like You did?
I’m a mess of bones and mercy,
just a fragile, foolish kid—
But You call me Yours…
You call me Yours anyway.
A perfect God who loves an imperfect man—
I don’t understand…
but You love me anyway.

VERSE 2

I got secrets I don’t mention,
sins that sleep beneath my skin.
I try praying like a saint does,
but I tremble when I begin.
‘Cause I know I don’t deserve You,
Lord, You know I never did…
But still You wrap me in forgiveness
like a father to a frightened kid.

PRE-CHORUS

You see the memories that haunt me,
You see the battles that I lose.
Yet You call my name so gently—
like my brokenness was something You could use.

CHORUS

If You saw my worst… why did You love me first?
If I fall again, Lord, will You stay the way You stayed?
I’m a canvas full of bruises,
but You paint me unafraid.
And You call me Yours…
You call me Yours anyway.
A perfect God who loves an imperfect man—
I’ll never understand…
but You love me anyway.

BRIDGE (soft, trembling, bluesy)

Maybe mercy isn’t earned,
maybe grace is letting go—
maybe You’ve been teaching me
that broken things can still be whole.
Maybe love is not a trophy,
maybe love is where You sit—
right beside me in my failure,
calling beauty out of it.


---

FINAL CHORUS (bigger, emotional)

If You saw my worst… why did You love me first?
Why choose a heart this clumsy,
why hold a soul that hurts?
Yet You lift my shame like morning,
You rewrite my every scar—
And You call me Yours forever,
like You never saw the dark.

A perfect God who loves an imperfect man—
I’ll never understand…
but somehow, You love me anyway.
