Sonny

I walked a heavy road, bound up by the chain

Lost inside the shadows of addiction and the pain

But the good Lord reached down, pulled me from the dark

And put a brand new rhythm deep inside my heart

Nineteen years of walking clean and living in the light

Every day's a blessing in His sight

Oh, I love to sing and worship, let the anthems ring

Telling every stranger 'bout the mercy of the King

I will be a loyal friend to help you bear the weight

Never giving up, just keep on striving to be great

Through the trials and the fire, I have found my place

Singing on the praise team, saved by grace

Learning how to stand up, learning how to pray

Walking in His presence each and every single day

But the greatest victory I have ever known

Was holding my sweet children, watching how they've grown

Looking in their eyes, I knew I had to stay the course

Guided by my Father and my source

Oh, I love to sing and worship, let the anthems ring

Telling every stranger 'bout the mercy of the King

I will be a loyal friend to help you bear the weight

Never giving up, just keep on striving to be great

Through the trials and the fire, I have found my place

Singing on the praise team, saved by grace

Every time I take the mic and lift my voice above

I just want to share the story of His saving love

Sonny, keep on pushing, keep your spirit strong

He turned a life of struggle to a gospel song

Oh, I love to sing and worship, let the anthems ring

Telling every stranger 'bout the mercy of the King

I will be a loyal friend to help you bear the weight

Never giving up, just keep on striving to be great

Through the trials and the fire, I have found my place

Singing on the praise team, saved by grace
