Pulled From the Trenches

Verse

I was worn down to a hollow shell

With dirt on my hands and no strength left to tell

Every road I took ran dead and dry

I could not stand, I could not even try

Pre-chorus

Then mercy came where I lay low

A steady hand I did not know

Chorus

The Lord lifted me out of the trenches

Pulled me up when I had no fight

He took my sorrow, He took my weakness

And gave this broken man new life

I was sinking, but He called me to rise

Now I walk in His light

Verse

I used to wear my pain like a coat

Cold as stone, with no hope left to hold

But He found me where the dark ran deep

And spoke peace to the parts of me I could not keep

Pre-chorus

Now every scar tells what He can do

When a battered heart is made brand new

Chorus

The Lord lifted me out of the trenches

Pulled me up when I had no fight

He took my sorrow, He took my weakness

And gave this broken man new life

I was sinking, but He called me to rise

Now I walk in His light

Bridge

I was helpless, I was undone

But grace came down like the morning sun

What was buried He brought to view

And made a living man out of me through and through

Chorus

The Lord lifted me out of the trenches

Pulled me up when I had no fight

He took my sorrow, He took my weakness

And gave this broken man new life

I was sinking, but He called me to rise

Now I walk in His light

Outro

I was sinking, but He called me to rise

Now I walk in His light
