[Verse 1] Swamp thing, Bog creature, I was barely breathin' Mud caked, soul shackled, The demons were feastin' Pit deep, no escape, Thought I was a goner Life's levee broke, Washed out, no honor (huh) Stank of the swamp, The muck and the mire Heart a cold stone, Needin to be lit a fire [Chorus] Then His hand reached down Pulled me from the ooze Cleaned off the grime Wiped away the blues Huh New name, new game No longer a stray This adopted son Saw the light of day Yah My everlasting Father His love's a deep well Broke every curse Saved me from hell! [Verse 2] Used to chase shadows, A ghost in the night Now walk in sunshine, Bask in the light Patience unending, Devotion so true Like a grand oak, roots strong, Seen me through (huh) No more hidin', No more runnin' wild Just a loved son, Forever His child From the bottomless, To the top shelf He guided me To find my true self [Chorus] Then His hand reached down Pulled me from the ooze Cleaned off the grime Wiped away the blues Huh New name, new game No longer a stray This adopted son Saw the light of day Yah My everlasting Father His love's a deep well Broke every curse Saved me from hell! [Bridge | instrumental breakdown, 4 bars] Used to think I was trash, Garbage heap bound But His grace covered me, Turned my world around No conditions, no strings, Just open arms wide Now I walk in His strength, And in His love abide [Chorus] Then His hand reached down Pulled me from the ooze Cleaned off the grime Wiped away the blues Huh New name, new game No longer a stray This adopted son Saw the light of day Yah My everlasting Father His love's a deep well Broke every curse Saved me from hell! [Outro] New name, new game, No longer a stray This adopted son, Saw the light of day My everlasting Father, Love's a deep well Broke every curse, Saved me, ya He saved me From burnin' in hell
