[Verse 1]

A tempest inside — like Damascus stone

I fell blinded by the light I should’ve known

I was running wild in the shadows of my own control

Drunk on pride — starved in soul

Unworthy of the love You poured like oil on fools

Your mercy bled through every Tarsus night and afternoon

You carried a cross the world spit on

Still called my name when the old me was gone

And here I lie in pieces — breathing in Your grace

[Pre-Chorus]

I am just a man not a saint

feeling like a fake pretender

Slave to the world, slave to flesh

Redeemed only through surrender

[Chorus]

Because after the fall

I stand broken like Paul

Fear trembling in my bones

But Your voice still calls

Scared of your judgment

But You make me whole

I am forgiven and saved

Through surrender of control

Broken like Paul… but never alone

[Verse 2]

The choices I make — selfish and vain

Still You washed me clean again and again

You saved my soul, You broke my chains

Took a sinful man

And wrote his name forever in grace

Sin shattered me like glass

But mercy never looked back at my past

You forgave again and again — never asking for more

deeper than oceans, brighter than stars You restore

Your mercy outweighs everything I’ll ever be

[Guitar Solo]

lead raw spanish accoustic guitar solo, frin semi-hollow, melodic emotional tone with bends + sustain

[Pre-Chorus]

I am just a man not a saint

feeling like a fake pretender

Slave to the world, slave to flesh

Redeemed only through surrender

[Chorus]

Because after the fall

I stand broken like Paul

Fear trembling in my bones

But Your voice still calls

Scared of the judgement

But You make me whole

I am forgiven and saved

Through surrender of control

Broken like Paul… but never alone

[Bridge]

Road to Damascus the dust still on my feet

Where the Light I fought against gave perfect rest to me

It hit like thunder but felt like rain

And grace rewrote the ending of every shame

Lord kill my pride — resurrect me new

Make every prisoner bend toward You

[Final Chorus]

Because after the fall

I stand broken like Paul

I was a prisoner of sin

Now I answer Your call

Not scared of their judgement

Now Your Spirit enthrones

I am forgiven — I am saved

Your blood set the tone

Broken like Paul… now fully Your own
