[Verse 1 – The Shadows]
🎶 I was just a shadow, an empty space,
A shell of a soul, lost in my own mistakes.
Chains I carried, both mine and theirs,
Locked in a prison, gaspin’ for air.
But the story didn’t end in that dark, cold cell,
That’s where the Son of God came and broke the spell. 🎶


---

[Chorus – Where Mercy Met Me] (Full choir swelling)
🎶 Ohhh… ohhh… ohhh… Jesus rescued me!
That’s where mercy met me, grace held my hand,
Love showed me the heart of the Great I Am.
The Word of Life spoke and breathed in me,
Now everything’s changed for eternity.
From the shadows to the light, from the grave to the sky,
Now I’m free, now I’m free — and I know the reason why. 🎶


---

[Verse 2 – The Turning]
🎶 Life or death, light or the dark,
Good or evil — it’s a narrow path to walk.
He won’t take lukewarm, I feel it deep inside,
Thirteen years later, I’m still sanctified.
Step by step, every lesson learned,
Old nature gone, in the fire it burned.
The Spirit’s the strength that keeps me clean,
It’s His work in me — not my own esteem. 🎶


---

[Chorus – Where Mercy Met Me] (Choir even fuller)
🎶 Ohhh… ohhh… ohhh… Jesus rescued me!
That’s where mercy met me, grace held my hand,
Love showed me the heart of the Great I Am.
The Word of Life spoke and breathed in me,
Now everything’s changed for eternity.
From the shadows to the light, from the grave to the sky,
Now I’m free, now I’m free — and I know the reason why. 🎶


---

[Bridge – His Shalom] (Gospel choir soaring)
🎶 I was a shell, cracked and torn apart,
The enemy came, tried to steal my heart.
But the Most High reached down, called me His own,
Restored me in full, set His glory on the throne.
Now His Shalom covers all my days,
Perfect love casting out fear in every way. 🎶


---

[Chorus – Climactic] (Every voice, full arrangement)
🎶 Ohhh… ohhh… ohhh… Jesus rescued me!
That’s where mercy met me, grace held my hand,
Love showed me the heart of the Great I Am.
The Word of Life spoke and breathed in me,
Now everything’s changed for eternity.
From the shadows to the light, from the grave to the sky,
Now I’m free, now I’m free — and I know the reason why. 🎶


---

[Outro – Tender & Intimate]
🎶 Who is like our God?
Shalom, shalom…
He is my life, my song, my home.
Now I’m free… ohhh Jesus rescued me. 🎶
