Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Long before I knew You loved me,
Long before I spoke Your name,
You were working in the shadows,
Drawing me by grace.

Then You found me in my wandering,
Called me gently by my name,
And the moment mercy found me,
Nothing stayed the same.

[Chorus]

You were writing my story
Before I knew Your name,
Turning all my wandering
Into grace.

Grace rewrote my story,
Your love carried me on,
Now I’ll sing what You have done—
Faithful One.

[Verse 2]

In the valley of dry bones,
Hope was buried deep,
Even through my failing blood,
Hope was hard to keep.

Then Your breath became a wind,
Life began again,
You restored what I had squandered,
Raised me up to stand.

[Chorus]

You were writing my story
Before I knew Your name,
Turning all my wandering
Into grace.

Grace rewrote my story,
Your love carried me on,
Now I’ll sing what You have done—
Faithful One.

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

If He can lift one fallen man,
He can lift a thousand more,
If He can call one wayward son,
He can raise an army for the Lord.

If He can breathe on dry, dead bones,
He can make the broken whole,
The God who rewrote my story
Is still restoring souls.

[Verse 3]

When the road is long and steep,
You will guide us, You will keep,
Every promise You have made,
Still stands firm and will not fade.

In our weakness, You are strong,
You have led us all along,
With our hearts we lift Your name,
Yesterday and still the same.

[Final Chorus]

You were writing our story
Before we knew Your name,
Turning all our wandering
Into grace.

Grace rewrote our story,
Your love carried us on,
Now we’ll sing what You have done—
Faithful One.

[Outro]

We overcome.
We overcome.

By the blood of the Lamb,
We overcome.

Faithful One.
Faithful One.
