Lyrics

I used to bend till I was breakin'
Pour from an empty cup
Tryna save everybody else
While forgettin' my own love
I wore pain like it was purpose
Called survival strength
But God whispered, "Daughter, rest
This ain't how I planned."
I learned the hard way
Peace don't come from pleasing them
If I lose myself in the process
I still don't win
In my next chapter, I choose God first
Then I choose me, no guilt, no hurt
I lay my burdens at His feet
And finally give myself permission to breathe
I'm walking taller, I know my worth
Covered in grace, reborn through faith
This is the woman I'm becoming now
Whole, healed, and holy somehow
I stopped explaining my healing
To people who loved my pain
I stopped watering dead soil
Just to keep things the same
I learned boundaries are blessings
Not walls of fear
And solitude with God
Made my vision clear
I don't chase love that costs my soul
Or dim my light to make them whole
In my next chapter, I choose God first
Then I choose me, no guilt, no hurt
I lay my burdens at His feet
And finally give myself permission to breathe
I'm walking taller, I know my worth
Covered in grace, reborn through faith
This is the woman I'm becoming now
Whole, healed, and holy somehow
I forgive the woman I had to be
To survive what I didn't understand
I honor her…
But I'm not her anymore
Thank You God
I'm listening now
I trust the timing
I trust the pruning
If You removed it
I don't need it
I'm not afraid of starting over
When You're the author of my story
In my next chapter, I choose God first
Then I choose me, aligned and secure
No more shrinking, no more shame
I love myself the way He does the same
I'm not broken, I've been rebuilt
By mercy, truth, and holy love
This is the woman I'm becoming now
And heaven knows… I'm ready now
I'm choosing peace
I'm choosing purpose
I'm choosing God
And myself on purpose
Next chapter
God first
Then me
