Description
[Intro - Spoken]
(soft piano... church ambience... distant thunder...)
I thought heaven wanted perfect words...
But all I had...
was silence...
and tears...
So...
I gave God the truth.
[Verse 1]
I came with empty hands... No speech... No script... No disguise...
Couldn't pull my eyes from cracked floor tiles beneath these tired skies.
Every fortress I had built crumbled slow, like leaves in fall's cold sigh,
Each lie untangling at last, truth flowing, deep and wide.
I wasn’t climbing ladders stacked with prayers... just gasping in the heavy air,
Breaths broken, souls worn thin beneath the weight they're made to bear.
[Pre-Chorus]
When silence swallowed all my pleas...
Your mercy stood fierce, relentless like seas.
When no sound lingered in the room...
Your love, a warmth that chased the gloom.
[Chorus]
Broken prayers... still, Heaven leans in close...
When words run dry, and my voice is ghost.
Every tear, a soft and quiet song...
Every scar, a place where I belong.
You found me low, where shadows grew...
Lifted me beyond the silent blue.
No polished words, no perfect lines...
All I needed was to find You.
[Verse 2]
Thought letting go meant crashing through...
But surrender sewed me whole and new.
Chains that held me tight dissolved at dawn's first gentle breath,
Grace never asked me to fix the mess before it crossed that path.
It whispered true, "Child, here’s your rest,
I’ll carry the load you can't confess."
No corners dark enough to hide the shame or late regret,
Mercy traced my broken edges, saying, "You’re as close as I get."
[Pre-Chorus]
I dropped the act, the flawless show...
Quit chasing love I thought I owed.
The quiet cracked the sky’s vast dome...
Heaven bending down to bring me home.
[Chorus]
Broken prayers... still, Heaven leans in close...
When words run dry, and my voice is ghost.
Every tear, a soft and quiet song...
Every scar, a place where I belong.
You found me low, where shadows grew...
Lifted me beyond the silent blue.
No polished words, no perfect lines...
All I needed was to find You.
[Bridge]
Brick by brick, You rebuilt me slow,
Wiping cracks no one else could know.
Daylight stretched across the dark,
Every wound catching light’s spark.
Every breath tastes like first rain,
Every step breaks through the chain.
[Final Verse]
Kneeling now with no disguise,
No scripted lines or polished lies.
Just a heart that still believes,
In the truth time softly weaves.
Still mending, still untying sun-streaked ways,
The loudest prayers don't shout—they whisper after the masquerade.
[Chorus] x2
Broken prayers... still, Heaven leans in close...
When words run dry, and my voice is ghost.
Every tear, a soft and quiet song...
Every scar, a place where I belong.
You found me low, where shadows grew...
Lifted me beyond the silent blue.
No polished words, no perfect lines...
All I needed was to find You.
[Outro]
Broken prayers...
Still pull Heaven near...
Because truth spoken...
Has always been the clearest sound to hear.
