Gospel - You lifted me from the dust

Lyrics

Verse 1

I was just a child on the streets, all alone
Lost my mother and my father, didn’t have a home
Empty hands, empty heart, nowhere I belonged
Hunger in my body, darkness in my soul

Verse 2

I fell deep into the shadows, chasing pain
Tried to numb the broken pieces in my veins
Every night I cried for mercy in the cold
Wondering if my life was worth anything at all

Pre-Chorus

But in the chaos, I heard a gentle voice
A preacher on the corner told me I still had a choice

Chorus

You lifted me from the dust
Gave me hope when I had none
Lord, You carried me through the fire
Held me close when life was rough
Now I stand here saved and free
’Cause Your love restored me
And I will go, preach Your name
To lift the lost like You lifted me

Verse 3

I walked into a church with trembling feet
Found forgiveness, found a love so pure and deep
You broke every chain that tied me to my past
Gave me strength, gave me purpose that will last

Verse 4

You opened doors I never dreamed I'd see
Gave me work, gave me joy, and dignity
Blessed my hands, now I give to those in need
What You gave, Lord, I give back willingly

Bridge

Now I stand on these same streets I once roamed
Telling every broken heart they’re not alone
If You changed me, You can set the captives free
Your grace is enough for every story

Chorus (Final)

You lifted me from the dust
Gave me hope when I had none
Lord, You carried me through the fire
Held me close when life was rough
Now I stand here saved and free
’Cause Your love restored me
And I will go, preach Your name
To lift the lost like You lifted me

Outro

You lifted me…
You lifted me…
Now I lift Your name forever…
