The Encounter - METALSIDED

Verse 1
In the silence, I was searching,
Wandering through my pain,
Every shadow felt so heavy,
I was lost, but still I came.
In my doubt, I cried for mercy,
With a heart that felt so cold,
Yet in my brokenness, You found me,
A love that makes me whole.
Chorus
You lifted me from the ashes,
Gave me strength to rise again.
In the depths of my despair, Lord,
You became my closest friend.
When I lost my way, You were there,
Shining light upon my path,
In the encounter, I found You,
You turned my pain to praise at last.
Verse 2
Every tear became a lesson,
Every scar, a story told,
In the struggle, I discovered,
Your embrace, my heart's stronghold.
You broke the chains that bound me,
With Your love, I found my way,
In the darkness, You are shining,
You are hope, my brand-new day.
Chorus
You lifted me from the ashes,
Gave me strength to rise again.
In the depths of my despair, Lord,
You became my closest friend.
When I lost my way, You were there,
Shining light upon my path,
In the encounter, I found You,
You turned my pain to praise at last.
Bridge
Now I stand in Your presence,
My heart sings a new song,
Every moment of my journey,
You have been where I belong.
With a grateful heart, I worship,
In Your love, I am renewed,
In the loss, I found my Savior,
In the dark, I found You.
Chorus
You lifted me from the ashes,
Gave me strength to rise again.
In the depths of my despair, Lord,
You became my closest friend.
When I lost my way, You were there,
Shining light upon my path,
In the encounter, I found You,
You turned my pain to praise at last.
Outro
So I’ll lift my voice in worship,
For the love that sets me free,
In the journey of the lost, Lord,
You have been everything to me.
With my heart now full of gratitude,
I’ll praise Your holy name,
In the beauty of Your presence,
I’ll never be the same.Verse 1
