Memoir - My Epic

I was hopeless

Chained to vice after vice

And I defied You

'till I prayed You would just

Let me die

I was finished

And slept in grave after grave

And waited buried

But the end I deserved

Never came

The wrath that I was owed

Poured on Your blameless son

For every song I’ve sung

Still it seems senseless

The righteousness He owned

Free to us wicked ones

I fit it in my lungs

But it leaves me breathless

You were fearless

And took my shame upon shame

As I yielded

You were crushed by the weight

But It was finished

When by grace upon grace

Hell was silenced

As you stepped out

From your grave

The wrath that I was owed

Poured on Your blameless son

For every song I’ve sung

Still it seems senseless

The righteousness He owned

Free to us wicked ones

I fit it in my lungs

But it leaves me breathless

Oh, oh, oooh

Oh, oh, oooh

Oh, oh, oooh

Oh, oh, oooh

Since the first time

You spoke it

I’ve been winded

And gasping for air

I can barely repeat it

I believe but

I don’t understand

How for all of the violence

And rebellion that

Heaves in my chest

You could call me forgiven

And restore every

Last wasted breath

Hell go on and rage

Whatever you may say

My God, He speaks for me

And I’ll not be ashamed

Hell go on and rage

You can’t change a thing

My God

You speak for me

So I’ll not be ashamed
