My Epic – Memoir lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was hopeless
Chained to vice after vice
And I defied You
'till I prayed You would just
Let me die

I was finished
And slept in grave after grave
And waited buried
But the end I deserved
Never came

[Chorus]
The wrath that I was owed
Poured on Your blameless son
For every song I've sung
Still it seems senseless
The righteousness He owned
Free to us wicked ones
I fit it in my lungs
But it leaves me breathless

[Verse 2]
You were fearless
And took my shame upon shame
As I yielded
You were crushed by the weight

But It was finished
When by grace upon grace
Hell was silenced
As you stepped out
From your grave

[Chorus]
The wrath that I was owed
Poured on Your blameless son
For every song I've sung
Still it seems senseless
The righteousness He owned
Free to us wicked ones
I fit it in my lungs
But it leaves me breathless

[Interlude]
Oh, oh, oooh
Oh, oh, oooh
Oh, oh, oooh
Oh, oh, oooh

[Bridge]
Since the first time
You spoke it
I've been winded
And gasping for air
I can barely repeat it
I believe but
I don’t understand
How for all of the violence
And rebellion that
Heaves in my chest
You could call me forgiven
And restore every
Last wasted breath

[Outro]
Hell go on and rage
Whatever you may say
My God, He speaks for me
And I'll not be ashamed

Hell go on and rage
You can't change a thing
My God
You speak for me
So I'll not be ashamed
