Behind This Song
This song grew out of gratitude. We kept circling back to the mercy of Jesus - the way grace meets guilt, shame, and darkness, then calls us into real freedom.
It became a hallelujah song, but not a polished one. It was written from the joy of being pulled out of hiding and reminded again that new life in Jesus is not theoretical - it changes how we stand, sing, and live.
More than anything, this song is our way of remembering that what was lost in Adam has been restored in Christ, and that grace still has the final word.
Lyrics
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
I once was lost but now am found
I was blind, but now I see
How your grace it covers me
Amazing love, how can it be
That you, my King, would die for me?
I was blind, but now I see
How your grace it covers me
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I was hiding in the shadows before You called my name
So afraid in all my guilt and shame
Now you've called me out of darkness and washed my guilty stains
Hallelujah, hallelujah
What once was lost in Adam has been restored in Jesus
You've won my freedom, hallelujah
The serpent bruised your heel, but you crushed the serpent's head
You've won my freedom, hallelujah
My sin brought condemnation; Your blood my innocence, oh
You've won my freedom, hallelujah
The reign of fear and darkness has lost its grip of power
You've won my freedom, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I was hiding in the shadows before You called my name
So afraid in all my guilt and shame
Now I'm dancing in your freedom, you've broken every chain
Hallelujah
Now I'm dancing in your freedom, you've broken every chain
Hallelujah, hallelujah
