Forward Momentum

For too long I've relied on my own strength,
I've been bruised, battered and broken,
So now that the picture is coming in clear,
I've taken the steps necessary to prepare,
What I'm about to reveal,

(CHORUS)
In the darkest times,
You were the light that shined the way,
When the world's weight began to crush me,
You showed the path for me to take,
When all seemed hopeless and pointless,
You gave me inspiration to keep pressing forward,
Even when you and I were distant,
You always said you'd take me back,
Thank you Lord for being in my life.

I've seen rock bottom,
It's like a pit of despair,
I've been built up to where I am now,
For the longest time I thought I was alone,
But hindsight has enlightened me,
Even in my rebellion,
God still loved me,
One day I hope to return the favor,
Show the world exactly what that means,
Be the person I was destined to be,


(CHORUS)
In the darkest times,
You were the light that shined the way,
When the world's weight began to crush me,
You showed the path for me to take,
When all seemed hopeless and pointless,
You gave me inspiration to keep pressing forward,
Even when you and I were distant,
You always said you'd take me back,
Thank you Lord for being in my life.

I'm not perfect,
But I am safe,
I'm not perfect,
But I'm saved by Grace.
