Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
Dust on my boots
Grace on my name (hey)
Let’s go

[Verse 1]
Used to chase every high in this small town
Red cup, tailgate, trying to feel proud
Heart like a truck with the tank on E
Smiling in the crowd, but it wasn’t really me

Mama kept praying in that kitchen light
“Boy, you’re gonna find truth one night”
I was running from the peace I was needing
Till He caught me when my soul was bleeding

[Chorus]
He is the reason
I’m still breathing
Got my hands up high and my knees down low
In the dust, in the rain, on that winding road
He is the reason
My heart’s beating
Through the hurt, through the hurt, yeah, He made me whole
Now I ride with the Maker in control
He is the reason

[Verse 2]
Tattooed past, yeah, the scars still show
But the shame washed off like a river flow
Sunday morning, church doors open wide
Found a different kind of freedom on the inside

Now I rap my prayers over steel-string strums
Choir in my chest when the Spirit comes (woo)
I ain’t perfect, but I ain’t who I was
Every step, every breath, man, I know what it does

[Chorus]
He is the reason
I’m still breathing
Got my hands up high and my knees down low
In the dust, in the rain, on that winding road
He is the reason
My heart’s beating
Through the hurt, through the hurt, yeah, He made me whole
Now I ride with the Maker in control
He is the reason

[Bridge]
When the night gets loud
And my faith feels thin
I remember that grave
And that stone rolled in
Then I think ‘bout that stone
Rollin’ out, new day
And I hear that voice
In my chest still say

(Keep going)
(Keep singing)
(I’m with you)
From the start to the ending

[Chorus]
He is the reason
I’m still breathing
Got my hands up high and my knees down low
In the dust, in the rain, on that winding road
He is the reason
My heart’s beating
Through the hurt, through the hurt, yeah, He made me whole
Now I ride with the Maker in control
He is the reason

[Outro]
Boots on the ground
Eyes on the Son (yeah)
Story ain’t mine
It’s what He’s done
He is the reason
