Lyrics

STRUGGLE

Verse 1

I was born into a world that was already breaking
Learning to stand while the ground kept shaking
Hands reached out, but trembled when they held me
Learning how to smile before life could tell me
I felt love with fear beside it
A heart barely surviving
Felt weight before I knew its name
Every whisper cracked with pain

Chorus

It’s a struggle to believe when I can’t see
It’s a struggle just to be who You made of me
It’s a struggle to forgive, to stay, to trust
It's a struggle when love turns to dust
Every road feels narrow, every heartbeat weak
Every prayer feels tired when I try to speak
But I keep walking through the struggle
’Cause somewhere deep…
You’re reaching me
You're reaching me

Verse 2

I stood at the altar, heart on fire
Swore I’d be stronger than before
But pride spoke louder than desire
And I learned real quick how love gets sore
We hurt the ones we’re trying to save
Say “I’m fine” while gasping for air
Carrying wounds we never gave
Still asking God to meet us there

Pre-Chorus

I tried to be right, tried to be strong
But grace stayed with me in my wrong

Chorus

It’s a struggle to love when I’m afraid
It’s a struggle when truth gets hard to say
It’s a struggle to stay when I want to run
It's a struggle when the damage is already done
Every road feels narrow, every heartbeat weak
Every prayer feels tired when I try to speak
But I keep walking through the struggle
’Cause somewhere deep…
You’re reaching me
You're reaching me

Bridge

Then You met me in the middle of it
Not with answers, not with ease
But with scars still in Your hands
And mercy that wouldn’t leave
You didn’t take away the pain
You stepped inside it with me
And every wound, every failure
Was teaching my heart how to see

Final Chorus

Every struggle was leading me here
Every struggle was pulling me near
The struggle bent my knees to pray
The struggle taught my heart to stay
I didn't lose my life in the struggle
You helped me find my way

From my first breath to my last surrender
Every doubt and every scar
You were the reason beneath the reason
The truth behind who we are
And when the struggle takes my final breath
I’ll see You as You are
Not the end of all my questions
But the answer from the start

Mmmmmm mmmmmm
Mmmmmm mmmmmm
