I remember the shadows like ghosts in the dark
I can still taste the hopelessness that haunted my heart
But in my desperation Your mercy walked in
And I watched as my chains turned to dust in Your hands
I cried like a newborn that night
Oh woah, and in those tears I was baptized
When You showed up
I was headed straight for the gallows
But then You saved me
And now I'm living proof of a Savior
O what a Savior
O what a Savior
So I thank You for rescue, for setting me free
And Lord, I even thank You for the times I couldn't breathe
Cause I learned that I need You, I learned You're enough
And my life is now the evidence of Your amazing love
When You showed up
I was headed straight for the gallows
But then You saved me
And now I'm living proof of a Savior
O what a Savior
O what a Savior
No matter how far I run
Now matter how hard I fall
You're the one who shows up
Cause that's just who You are
And every single fear
Trying to hold me down
It's been broken by Your love
And it don't hold me now
When You showed up
I was headed straight for the gallows, for the gallows
But then You saved me
And now I'm living proof of a Savior
O what a Savior
When You showed up
I was headed straight for the gallows
But then You saved me
And now I'm living proof of a Savior
O what a Savior
O what a Savior
O what a Savior
