Lyrics
Intro
oh-oh, oh-oh (amen)
oh-oh, oh-oh (hallelujah)
Verse
I walked through a doorway that closed behind me
Left my name on the floor, left the light in the hallway
There were nights I counted losses like coins in my palm
Felt the weight in my chest like I couldn't breathe, couldn't pray
Broken photos on the shelf, promises on mute
I learned to speak in low tones just to get through
But something held steady, something never moved
A whisper turned to a word that cut right through
Pre-chorus
When sorrow spoke my language, He answered with a song
When I was bent and bleeding, He said, "Child, come on"
(come on) He rewires the wounds, He redraws the lines
(yeah) He takes the storm and gives me a new design
Chorus
He turns my pain into purpose, yeah (He does, He does)
He turns my wounds into wisdom, into truth (into truth)
He takes the night and makes it a road I can walk (I walk)
He turns my sorrow into strength, watch it move (watch it move)
He turns my pain into purpose, oh-oh (oh-oh)
He turns my pain into purpose, amen (amen)
Verse
I met a stranger whose eyes knew the map of my hurt
We traded broken stories, watched each other stitch the cuts
What I thought was wasted became a light in someone else's dark
What I kept in silence is the song that starts the heart
From hospital hands to whispered prayers across a table
From lonely rooms to open doors where grace is able
My scars become a language, my failures a new name
What was ash now fuels the fire, I sing it out the same
Pre-chorus
When the world says bury it, He says plant it deep
When I only saw endings, He taught me how to reap
(ta-ta-trust) He plants purpose in every cracked place
(na-na) He laughs at defeat and turns it into praise
Chorus
He turns my pain into purpose, yeah (He does, He does)
He turns my wounds into wisdom, into truth (into truth)
He takes the night and makes it a road I can walk (I walk)
He turns my sorrow into strength, watch it move (watch it move)
He turns my pain into purpose, oh-oh (oh-oh)
He turns my pain into purpose, amen (amen)
Bridge
Say it loud: hallelujah, hallelujah (hallelujah)
Say it now: He will use it, He will use it (use it)
Every scar is a sermon, every tear is a seed (is a seed)
Watch Him rewrite the story, watch it grow, watch it lead
(lead, lead, lead) uh-huh, yeah
Chorus
He turns my pain into purpose, yeah (He does, He does)
He turns my wounds into wisdom, into truth (into truth)
He takes the night and makes it a road I can walk (I walk)
He turns my sorrow into strength, watch it move (watch it move)
He turns my pain into purpose, oh-oh (oh-oh)
He turns my pain into purpose, amen (amen)
Chorus
He turns my pain into purpose, yeah (He does, He does)
He turns my wounds into wisdom, into truth (into truth)
He takes the night and makes it a road I can walk (I walk)
He turns my sorrow into strength, watch it move (watch i
