You Tore Them Down

Intro:
When I was drowning in my shame,
You walked the waves and called my name.

Verse 1:
I built my walls, brick by brick, so high,
A fortress standing, where no light could shine.
Thought I was safe in the dark of my pride,
But even there, Lord, You found me inside.
I heard You knocking, but turned away,
Afraid to answer, too lost to pray.
Yet still, You whispered my name in the storm,
A love unshaken, so patient, so warm.

Chorus:
Though with heavy sin, Your mercy finds me,
No depth too deep, no chain can bind me.
I shut You out, but still, You surround,
I built my walls… but You tore them down. (2x)

Verse 2:
No stone can stand against Your grace,
No heart too hard, no soul erased.
You break through fear, You break through doubt,
Till love remains… till love pours out. 2x Chorus

Bridge:
When I was drowning in my shame,
You walked the waves and called my name.
No chain remained, no fear could stay,
Your love broke through and made a way. Chorus
