[Verse 1]
Before the dawn could find the trembling heart,
You whispered mercy, waking every dark.
A river sweeping doubts away like sand,
You turned my night to morning with Your hand.
You walked into the wreckage of my fear,
You picked the shattered pieces, drew them near.
Where silence lived, You planted songs to sing —
A banner high of hope and healing in the wind.
[Pre-Chorus]
When hope runs dry and shadows start to fall,
Your promise is our all-in-all.
We lift our eyes, we lift our weary hands,
You meet us here and make us stand.
[Chorus]
God of grace, God of liberty —
You broke our chains and set us free.
By Your righteousness we rise redeemed,
With hearts aflame we lift Your name. (Lift Your name)
(Hallelujah!) You called us by a brighter name,
(Hallelujah!) In liberty we stand reclaimed.
[Verse 2]
A river moves, it carries every doubt,
It carves a faith where fear can’t find a route.
You braid the morning through our tangled days,
Your justice lights the corners of our ways.
You wear the wounded like a crown of gold,
You teach the weak how beautiful and bold.
From prison walls to streets of liberty,
Your righteousness becomes our melody.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When every shore seems distant from our dreams,
Your steady hand is closer than it seems.
We sing the truth that sets the captive free,
Your love, our shield, our timeless legacy.
[Chorus]
God of grace, God of liberty —
You broke our chains and set us free.
By Your righteousness we rise redeemed,
With hearts aflame we lift Your name. (Lift Your name)
(Hallelujah!) Your mercy writes our victory,
(Hallelujah!) We stand alive in liberty.

You who counted every tear now calls us family.
You who named the stars now names our destiny.
We will not hide this love — we will not keep it small,
Your light has come and now we answer to the call.
[Climactic Chorus — Key change / Full Choir]
God of grace, God of liberty —

We rise, we sing, we go where Your glory goes!
[Outro]
Grace and liberty, Your love has set us free,
Forever we will sing — our King, our sure decree.
By Your righteousness we stand, redeemed and brave,
In Your arms we find the home that saves.
