Amanda

I was tangled in the shadows of the choices I had made

Running to the bottle, watching all my daylight fade

Then the heartbreak hit so heavy with my best friend’s cancer fight

But somehow in that valley, You started pouring in Your light

You used the hardest season just to open up my eyes

To break through my rebellion and save me from the lies

You met me in the mess that I had made for myself

You reached into the deep when I was crying out for help

You loved me anyway and washed my spirit clean

Now I am a child of God, loved and fully free

Yeah, You met me in the mess and rescued me

You took away the craving and the chains of alcohol

Gave me back a clear mind to hear You when You call

I always had this singing voice, but I never understood

Why I carried all this music, or what it meant for good

Now the reason is so obvious, the purpose is so true

I was only given breath to sing my worship back to You

You met me in the mess that I had made for myself

You reached into the deep when I was crying out for help

You loved me anyway and washed my spirit clean

Now I am a child of God, loved and fully free

Yeah, You met me in the mess and rescued me

You called my name, Amanda, and You brought me back to life

Out of the addiction and the sorrow and the strife

Every melody I carry, every song I'll ever raise

Is an altar of thanksgiving, is an instrument of praise

'Cause You met me in the mess that I had made for myself

You reached into the deep when I was crying out for help

You loved me anyway and washed my spirit clean

Now I am a child of God, loved and fully free

Yeah, You met me in the mess and rescued me

I am a child of God, I am loved and I am free
