freedom found in your scars
in your grace my life redeemed

and in that moment you opened up the heavens
to the broken the beggar and the thief
lifted out the wreckage
i find hope in the aftermath

now all i have i count it all as loss
but to know you and to carry the cross
knowing i’m found
in the light of the aftermath
