Mended Hands

Lyrics

Verse 1
I woke up with the floor still cold
Same old bruises, same old road
I hid my shame in a borrowed coat
Tried to smile, but you always know

I broke some hearts I can't replace
Left my footprints in a dark place
If I call your name, will you hear me now?
I'm learning how to come back down

Pre-Chorus
I'm tired of running from my name
Tired of feeding all this pain
If I fall, won't you help me stand?
I'm empty, but I lift my hands

Chorus
I'm on my knees, I need grace
For every tear and every trace
Forgive me for the hurt I gave
I'm trying hard to change my ways
I'm on my knees, I need grace
Pull me back from the edge today
Forgive me for the hurt I gave
I'm still here, I'm on my way

Verse 2
There were nights I didn't come home
Lies like stones I carried alone
You waited up with a wounded heart
While I kept choosing the darkest part

Now every day is a harder climb
One small step and a broken mind
But I see your face in the morning light
And I want to make it right

Pre-Chorus
I'm tired of running from my name
Tired of feeding all this pain
If I fall, won't you help me stand?
I'm empty, but I lift my hands

Chorus
I'm on my knees, I need grace
For every tear and every trace
Forgive me for the hurt I gave
I'm trying hard to change my ways
I'm on my knees, I need grace
Pull me back from the edge today
Forgive me for the hurt I gave
I'm still here, I'm on my way

Bridge
Let the old me fade away
Let my shame lose its say
I can't undo what I did
But I can live with open hands

If your heart is still aching
If your trust is still shaking
I will keep on showing up
One day at a time, enough

Final Chorus
I'm on my knees, I need grace
For every tear and every trace
Forgive me for the hurt I gave
I'm trying hard to change my ways
I'm on my knees, I need grace
Pull me back from the edge today
Forgive me for the hurt I gave
I'm still here, I'm on my way
