Lyrics

I spent years thinking love had to be earned
Like one wrong move could make Heaven disappear
I was praying like I'm auditioning
Like one mistake could shut the whole thing down
I kept performing, trying to earn affection
While grace was standing there waiting for me to sit down
You never asked for perfection
You only asked for me
Stop performing for what was already given
Stop reaching for what Heaven already decided
I spent my whole life trying to deserve love
But grace was already mine
But grace was already mine
I kept wearing masks, trying to look holy
Trying to sound right, trying to fit the role
But the louder I performed, the emptier I felt
Like I was losing myself trying to save myself
You never wanted the rehearsed version
You wanted the real one
Stop performing for what was already given
Stop begging for what grace already settled
I spent years trying to earn acceptance
But love already chose me
What if the pressure was never from God?
What if the fear was only in me?
What if grace was always waiting
For me to finally breathe?
Stop performing for what was already given
Stop fighting for what Heaven already finished
I wasted years trying to earn what love already decided
But now I know grace never asked me to perform
Maybe the greatest freedom is realizing
I was loved before I got it right
I realized I was loved before I got it right
God loved me before I got it right
