Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was running on empty
Heart so tired
Breathing thin
Thought I had to earn Your favor
Trying hard
Still caving in
[Pre-Chorus]
Then Your kindness found me
In the middle of my mess
Pulled me from the bottom
Wrapped me in Your rest (oh oh)
[Chorus]
Hold me in Your glory
Let Your mercy cover me
I am not my failures
I am who You say I’ll be
You lifted up my story
From the ashes
I can see
Hold me in Your glory
‘Cause there is where I’m free
[Verse 2]
All the labels I carried
Every name that brought me shame
You just spoke a gentle whisper
Gave me back my real name
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the weight is falling
As I’m dancing in Your grace
Every fear is fading
In the light of Your embrace (hey!)
[Chorus]
Hold me in Your glory
Let Your mercy cover me
I am not my failures
I am who You say I’ll be
You lifted up my story
From the ashes
I can see
Hold me in Your glory
‘Cause there is where I’m free
[Bridge]
When I lose my way
You sing over me
When my faith runs dry
You’re the strength I need
Every breath I take
Is a gift You breathe
So I’ll raise my hands
Let my whole soul sing
[Chorus]
Hold me in Your glory
Let Your mercy cover me
I am not my failures
I am who You say I’ll be
You lifted up my story
From the ashes
I can see
Hold me in Your glory
Hold me in Your glory
‘Cause there is where I’m free (oh yes)
‘Cause there is where I’m free
I was running on empty
Heart so tired
Breathing thin
Thought I had to earn Your favor
Trying hard
Still caving in
[Pre-Chorus]
Then Your kindness found me
In the middle of my mess
Pulled me from the bottom
Wrapped me in Your rest (oh oh)
[Chorus]
Hold me in Your glory
Let Your mercy cover me
I am not my failures
I am who You say I’ll be
You lifted up my story
From the ashes
I can see
Hold me in Your glory
‘Cause there is where I’m free
[Verse 2]
All the labels I carried
Every name that brought me shame
You just spoke a gentle whisper
Gave me back my real name
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the weight is falling
As I’m dancing in Your grace
Every fear is fading
In the light of Your embrace (hey!)
[Chorus]
Hold me in Your glory
Let Your mercy cover me
I am not my failures
I am who You say I’ll be
You lifted up my story
From the ashes
I can see
Hold me in Your glory
‘Cause there is where I’m free
[Bridge]
When I lose my way
You sing over me
When my faith runs dry
You’re the strength I need
Every breath I take
Is a gift You breathe
So I’ll raise my hands
Let my whole soul sing
[Chorus]
Hold me in Your glory
Let Your mercy cover me
I am not my failures
I am who You say I’ll be
You lifted up my story
From the ashes
I can see
Hold me in Your glory
Hold me in Your glory
‘Cause there is where I’m free (oh yes)
‘Cause there is where I’m free
