I’ve known pain, and deep regret
I’ve known the weight of my mistakes like the back of my hand
I’ve known deception and all its games
I’ve known the way it feels to drown in my own shame

But I never knew love
I never knew truth
I never knew peace the sweet release that brought me through
I never knew freedom, What grace could do
The broken chains the hope that saves
A life made new
Till I met you

I’ve known rejection, I’ve bought the lie
That I could never overcome the hurt inside
With arms of mercy, You reached for me
Tore the veil away and gave me eyes to see
You’re all I need

And I never knew love
I never knew truth
I never knew peace the sweet release that brought me through
I never knew freedom, What grace could do
The broken chains the hope that saves
A life made new
Till I met you
Till I met you
I was empty I was hopeless
Till I met you
I was stumbling in the darkness
