Verse 1 I was running through the shadows, thinking grace was out of reach, Carrying the weight of choices that kept breaking me to pieces. But even in my darkness, even when I turned away, There was a love that never wavered, A love that chose to stay. Pre‑Chorus I didn’t earn it, didn’t deserve it, But mercy found me anyway. Chorus (big, gospel‑lift) For God so loved the world, He gave His only Son. So whoever believes in Him Will find the battle’s won. We won’t perish in the shadows, We’ll rise when morning comes — ’Cause God so loved the world He gave His only Son. Verse 2 I’ve been standing in the ruins of the life I thought I knew, Wondering how a broken heart could ever be made new. But love stepped into the wreckage, whispered, “Child, you’re not alone,” And the cross became the doorway Leading all the lost back home. Pre‑Chorus I didn’t earn it, didn’t deserve it, But grace keeps calling out my name. Chorus (bigger, steel guitar soaring) For God so loved the world, He gave His only Son. So whoever believes in Him Will find the battle’s won. We won’t perish in the shadows, We’ll rise when morning comes — ’Cause God so loved the world He gave His only Son. Bridge (choir rises, emotional peak) Love that carried every burden, Love that broke the chains of fear. Love that walked into the darkness Just to pull me closer here. Love that conquered death forever, Love that said the work is done — Love that gave it all Through His Son. Final Chorus (stadium‑ready, full choir) For God so loved the world, He gave His only Son. So whoever believes in Him Will find the battle’s won. We won’t perish in the shadows, We’ll rise when morning comes — ’Cause God so loved the world He gave His only Son. Yeah, God so loved the world… He gave His only Son.
