[chorus: mallory be.]
Oh, i know that you've been struggling lately
Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed and face it
Don't you know that god is walking with you, baby?
He gives you strength when you're in the secret place, yeah
You were wonderfully made for his glory
Don't you know he's about to change your story?
Let the brightness of the son shine upon your face
And let him wipe your tears away
[verse 1: clean slate]
Sometimes i wake up and depression gets the best of me
I need you, lord, come and take me out the recipe
Feel like i'm stuck off in this prison up inside my head
Voices telling me i'm worthless and i'm better dead
Your word says that you created me from your image
But on some days i can't face the man inside the mirror
I'm overcome with all this guilt and shame for things i've done
But still you love me, can't believe that you would send your son
It was your mercy and your grace that freed me from my chains
Your holy spirit came inside of me and lit the flame
But still sometimes it's hard to see myself the way you do
But i read your word and them red letters keep on gettin' me through
I'm holdin' on to the truth that there'll be brighter days
And when i'm speechless in my heart, i'm still gon' give you praise
I know you lookin' down on me through my struggles, lord
I thank you, jesus, that you walk with me through every storm
[chorus: mallory be., colicchie]
Oh, i know that you've been struggling lately

He gives you strength when you're in the secret place, yeah
You were wonderfully made for his glory
Don't you know he's about to change your story?
Let the brightness of the son shine upon your face (let's go)
And let him wipe your tears away (yeah)
[verse 2: colicchie]
From a sinner to a winner, surviving the coldest winters
I'm just tryna see it clearly, but my head, it just keeps spinnin'
As i try to grow from anguish, every ounce of pain
My doubt and shame tries to bury me and knock me out the game
Listen, i'm deep in prayer as i'm sittin' on my bed
I try to stay the course, but i'm slippin' off the edge
And, god, i need your guidance now more than ever
Extinguish every guilty pleasure, never givin' up, just hopin' it gets better
A singular set of footprints in the ashes as we walk
It's vital that my actions match the language that i talk
I can't ever let my spirit rot, sad as every tear
I drop
Constantly reminds me of my friends, every peer i lost
I feel your presence, god, i know you hear my cries
I'm not proud of every chapter, but i'm grateful i survived
I'm breathin', i keep marchin' as i'm holdin' on for brighter days
I'm thankin' you for everything 'cause i'm another life you saved
[chorus: mallory be., jimmy hunt, colicchie]
Oh, i know that you've been struggling lately

He gives you strength when you're in the secret place, yeah
You were wonderfully made for his glory
Don't you know he's about to change your story? (yeah)
Let the brightness of the son shine upon your face (yeah; it's vertical)
And let him wipe your tears away
[verse 3: jimmy hunt, colicchie]
My afflictions also brought in division
My younger brother took his life
So there were times when i just struggled with livin'
Had a heart of pure stone, i was so unforgivin' (yeah)
Felt religion and relationship were totally different
Facing prison 'cause i fit the description (what do you mean?)
A clear vision, there's a purpose for my life
So i pushed through the resistance (yeah)
Praying every now and then was hard to keep it consistent (yeah)
Witnessed tears from a father, wife and daughter went missin'
With no conditions, i just call on your name
The great exchange gave me beauty for the ashes
Gave me joy for the pain (yeah)
The lord of lords, king of kings, yahweh, forever you reign (forever you reign)
A new creature, so my heart ain't the same (yeah)
You're the lion and the lamb, your name be lifted up (lifted up)
And when i fail in my decisions, father, pick me up (father, pick me up)
As a reflection of your glory's what i'm livin' for (yeah)
Trusting you for brighter days, by faith i'm never givin' up
'cause you carry me through my struggles
[chorus: mallory be.]
