LYRICS
Verse 1
Wandering into the night
Wanting a place to hide
This weary soul
This bag of bones
And I try with all my might
But I just can’t win the fight
I’m slowly drifting
A vagabond
Pre-Chorus 1
And just when
I ran out of road
I met a Man I didn’t know
And He told me
That I was not alone
Chorus
He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I’m not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God
Verse 2
I cannot deny what I see
Got no choice but to beliеve
My doubts are burning
Like ashеs in the wind
So, so long to my old friends
Burden and bitterness
You can just keep it moving, hey
Nah, you ain’t welcome here
Pre-Chorus 2
From now ’til
I walk the streets of gold
I’ll sing of how
You saved my soul
This wayward son has found
His way back home
Bridge
Oh, hell lost another one
I am free
I am free
I am free
Vamp
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
