(feat. Shane & Shane)
I was buried beneath my rebellion
Lost without hope of redemption
Blind in my need for a Savior
Oh but God
Crushed by the weight of my failure
Living the lie I created
Digging my grave without knowing
Oh but God, oh but God
Chorus:
Rich in mercy how You loved me
Too much to let me stay lost
My salvation sent from heaven
Nailing my sin to a cross
Oh but God
You gave me a truth worth believing
And I traded my chains for Your freedom
Cause You were the one that I needed
Oh but God
Resurrecting my heart from the ruins
My rescue came through like the morning
Now this is my sure testimony
Oh but God oh but God
Bridge:
All the wreckage of my choices
You have turned to life from ashes
Lifted from death risen with Him
Now I stand in confidence

The lyrics emphasize being rescued from spiritual death, having sins nailed to the cross, and being raised to new life. The song celebrates God's rich mercy and love that refuses to leave anyone lost. It reflects on the exchange of chains for freedom and the confidence that comes from being resurrected with Christ. The message is rooted in the gospel narrative of redemption and grace.
