Lyrics

I ain't come to You strong
I came tired
Didn't have faith left to quote scripture
Didn't have pride left to pretend
All I had was my knees on the floor
And a thank You
For somethin' I hadn't seen yet
The house was dark phone face down
Bills still sittin' on the table
I stared at the wall till my eyes burned red
Ask myself how much more I was able
First marriage gone last name heavy
Dreams packed up in cardboard shame
Everybody swear God got a plan
But it didn't feel like He knew my name
I didn't pray pretty
Didn't pray long
Just said "Lord"
And sat there wrong
You held me up
When I couldn't stand
You stayed quiet
But You took my hand
I didn't feel strong
Didn't feel complete
But You met me right there
On broken knees
I lost my way more than once or twice
Lost my faith before I lost my pride
Smiled in public cracked at night
Cried where nobody heard me cry
Blessings came slow came soft
Didn't show up how I asked
But lookin' back now I thank You Lord
For every prayer You didn't pass
If You'd fixed it when I demanded
I'd still think I did it myself
So You waited till I was empty
Till I had nothin' left but help
You held me up
When I couldn't stand
I had no strength
Left in my hands
Didn't save me loud
Didn't save me fast
You saved me slow
And I felt that
I don't thank You for the breaking
But I thank You for the stay
For not leavin' when I questioned
For not rushin' me away
You let me sit inside the silence
Till my heart learned how to hear
Turns out faith ain't feeling fearless
It's knowin' You're still here
You held me up
When I couldn't stand
Not when I was sure —
When I didn't understand
And every time I thank You now
I remember where I been
I don't thank You for the mountain
I thank You for when I couldn't stand
That's where You found me
