I was more than just a prodigal
I was feelin' like a criminal
Undependable n' cynical
I was a wild child

Like a bullet coming from a gun
I was reckless, I was on the run
Couldn't fathom all the damage done
I was a wild child

I didn't think that I could ever change
Or that my heart would even want to
All the fears that I never faced
Were buildin' lies I couldn't break through
Nobody else could've reached for me
Could've pulled me out, could've set me free

Hallelujah, Jesus did

I see you're carrying a heavy load
All the shame from a broken road
And the secrets that nobody knows
You're not alone, child

There's arms stretching out for you
There's a voice of hope that speaks the truth
And the grace that wants to carry you back home
All I know is

I didn't think that I could ever change
Or that my heart would even want to
All the fears that I never faced
Were buildin' lies I couldn't break through
Nobody else could've reached for me
Could've pulled me out, could've set me free

Hallelujah, Jesus did
Jesus did

He could've just left me there where I was
Covered in all of my shame
Instead he reached out with mercy and love
Now all my sins are washed away

I didn't think that I could ever change
Or that my heart would even want to
All the fears that I never faced
Were buildin' lies I couldn't break through
Nobody else could've reached for me
Could've pulled me out, could've set me free

Hallelujah, Jesus did
Jesus did, yes he did, oh he did
Jesus did
Oh, he did
