Lyrics

Intro

oh-oh, amen, oh-oh (yeah)

(yeah, yeah)

oh-oh, amen, oh-oh

Verse

I walked with my pockets full of questions

Hands in the sky like I'm trying to hold the horizon (hold it)

Spent a long time talking to the ceiling, getting answers slow

Streetlight confessions, midnight prayers under my breath

I carry names and mistakes like stones, yeah I carry 'em

Some nights I curse the quiet, some nights I sing it soft

You met me in the margin, you met me when I cracked

You showed me how to say the thing I couldn't say back

Pre-chorus

Speak to me, oh speak to me (speak, speak)

Break the glass of doubt, let the light come in

Hold my small hands, lead me out (lead me out)

I will follow, oh I will follow, yeah

Chorus

God, you're the word I whisper in the dark (in the dark)

God, you're the steady in a shaking heart (steady, steady)

God, I'm calling out, I'm calling out (calling out)

God, I'm calling out — amen (amen), yeah

God, you're the word I whisper in the dark (in the dark)

God, you're the steady in a shaking heart (steady, steady)

God, I'm calling out, I'm calling out (calling out)

God, I'm calling out — amen (amen)

Verse

You know the maps I burned and the roads I kept

You heard me when I laughed and when I wouldn't sleep

Found me in the kitchen, found me on the run

Found me with a single tear that tasted like forgiveness

Sometimes I stumble, sometimes I shout (shout)

Sometimes I fold like paper, fold back into you

You stitch the edges with a quiet kind of mercy

Pull me to the center, pull me into view

Pre-chorus

Speak to me, oh speak to me (speak, speak)

Tear the label off my fear, let me breathe again

Hold my small hands, lead me out (lead me out)

I will follow, oh I will follow, yeah

Chorus

God, you're the word I whisper in the dark (in the dark)

God, you're the steady in a shaking heart (steady, steady)

God, I'm calling out, I'm calling out (calling out)

God, I'm calling out — amen (amen), yeah

God, you're the word I whisper in the dark (in the dark)

God, you're the steady in a shaking heart (steady, steady)

God, I'm calling out, I'm calling out (calling out)

God, I'm calling out — amen (amen)

Bridge

Oh-oh, I don't need a roar to know you're here (no)

Soft as a promise, louder than my fear (louder)

If I lose my way, if my footsteps slide

You bend the map, you change the tide (change the tide)

Uh-huh, uh-huh, (yeah) breathe me whole again

Take these ragged parts and make them sing

Chorus

God, you're the word I whisper in the dark (in the dark)

God, you're the steady in a shaking heart (steady, steady)

God, I'm calling out, I'm calling out (calling out)

God, I'm calling out — amen (amen), yeah

God, you're the word I whisper in the dark (in the dark)

God, you're the steady in a shaking heart (steady, steady)

God, I'm calling out, I'm calling out (calling out)

God, I'm calling out — amen (amen)

Outro

Amen, amen, amen (o
