Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to think You kept a list
Every line I crossed, every mark I missed
Cross on my neck, weight on my chest
Perfect Sunday smile, but my heart got no rest

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I had to climb my way to You
But mercy broke in where my strength fell through

[Chorus]
You’re more than a Judge starin’ down where I’ve been
Your grace came walkin’ right into my sin
With Your hand on my shoulder in the middle of my dirt
You’re more than I thought You were
More than I thought You were

[Verse 2]
Bible on the dash, wipers keepin' time
All my excuses runnin' through my mind
White-knuckle grip, losin' control
Playin' the part, still no rest for my soul

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep tryin’ to climb my way to You,
But mercy breaks in where my strength falls through

[Chorus]
You’re more than a Judge starin’ down where I’ve been
Your grace comes walkin’ right into my sin
With Your hand on my shoulder in the middle of my dirt
You’re more than I thought You were
More than I thought You were

[Bridge]
Sittin’ in my pickup in the church parking lot
Engine runnin’, my heart shut off
Head on the wheel, too worn out to pray
Your hand on my shoulder, not a finger in my face
That’s where my best ran into Your grace

[Chorus]
You’re more than a Judge with nail-scarred hands
You took my broke-down life and remade who I am
With Your hand on my shoulder in the middle of my dirt
You’re more than I thought You were
More than I thought You were
