[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Darkness creeping in, smothering joy,
Memories fade to shadows I can’t avoid.
Once they were warm, now they turn to stone,
Grey reminders that I walk alone.
[Verse 2]
These moments wound me, they cut me deep,
New scars born from the pain I keep.
Lord, I’m breaking, I can’t stand tall,
I need Your light to cover it all.
[Chorus]
Lord, save me from myself,
My past is a prison, my present is hell.
I long for freedom, I long for grace,
To feel Your light on my broken face.
[Verse 3]
I was a young man once, with dreams untied,
Before the weight of the years pressed inside.
Now I’m too weak to dig out alone,
I need Your hand to guide me home.
[Chorus]
Lord, save me from myself,
My past is a prison, my present is hell.
I long for freedom, I long for grace,
To feel Your light on my broken face.
[Bridge]
Every man has two masters to serve,
Time and its ravages, both without reserve.
But I choose You, Lord, take me away,
Redeem my soul at the break of day.
[Final Chorus]
Lord, save me from myself,
My past is a prison, my present is hell.
I long for freedom, I long for grace,
To feel Your light on my broken face.
[Outro]
Lord… bring the light back.
