Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Woke up with the weight
Of my own words on my chest
Coffee gone cold
Bible open on the desk
Every page feels heavy
Every prayer feels thin
I’m circling the questions
Afraid to look within

[Pre-Chorus]
Are You in the silence?
Are You in the ache?
If I hand You all my damage
Will it finally break?

[Chorus]
I got nails in my hands that I drove in myself
But You took the hammer
You took all my hell
You were bleeding on a hill while I was breaking at home
Now Your name on my lips feels like flesh and like bone
In the dark
In the doubt
In the ruin of my plans
You are hope
You are truth
In these nail-scarred hands

[Verse 2]
Sunday in a side pew
Singing words I barely mean
Face in the stained glass
Heart in the in-between
Every song like thunder
But I’m whispering along
Trying to find a Savior
Inside a borrowed song

[Pre-Chorus]
Are You in the quiet?
Are You in the rage?
If I tear down all my idols
Will You fill this empty stage?

[Chorus]
I got nails in my hands that I drove in myself
But You took the hammer
You took all my hell
You were bleeding on a hill while I was breaking at home
Now Your name on my lips feels like flesh and like bone
In the dark
In the doubt
In the ruin of my plans
You are hope
You are truth
In these nail-scarred hands

[Bridge]
I am tired of pretending
I am done with playing strong
If Your grace is for the broken
Then this break is where I belong (oh)
If Your cross is still enough
For the mess I can’t outrun
Then I’m falling at Your feet now
Let Your mercy say “it’s done”

[Chorus]
I got nails in my hands that I drove in myself
But You took the hammer
You took all my hell
You were bleeding on a hill while I was breaking at home
Now Your name on my lips feels like flesh and like bone
In the dark
In the doubt
In the ruin of my plans
You are hope
You are truth
In these nail-scarred hands

[Outro]
Yeah
In the breaking and the bruise
Jesus
I still choose
You
