Lyrics Memoir - My Epic

Memoir

I was hopeless
Chained to vice after vice
And I defied You
'till I prayed You would just
Let me die
I was finished
And slept in grave after grave
And waited buried
But the end I deserved
Never came
The wrath that I was owed
Poured on Your blameless son
For every song I’ve sung
Still it seems senseless
The righteousness He owned
Free to us wicked ones
I fit it in my lungs
But it leaves me breathless
You were fearless
And took my shame upon shame
As I yielded
You were crushed by the weight
But It was finished
When by grace upon grace
Hell was silenced
As you stepped out
From your grave
The wrath that I was owed
Poured on Your blameless son
For every song I’ve sung
Still it seems senseless
The righteousness He owned
Free to us wicked ones
I fit it in my lungs
But it leaves me breathless
Oh, oh, oooh
Oh, oh, oooh
Oh, oh, oooh
Oh, oh, oooh
Since the first time
You spoke it
I’ve been winded
And gasping for air
I can barely repeat it
I believe but
I don’t understand
How for all of the violence
And rebellion that
Heaves in my chest
You could call me forgiven
And restore every
Last wasted breath
Hell go on and rage
Whatever you may say
My God, He speaks for me
And I’ll not be ashamed
Hell go on and rage
You can’t change a thing
My God
You speak for me
So I’ll not be ashamed
