From the recording Write About Jesus 2026
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to think You kept a list
Every rule I broke, 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
Tried my best, but my best 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 faith, comin' undone
Truckload of shame I couldn't outrun
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I had to climb my way to You
Tried my best, but my best 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
[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 starin’ down where I’ve been
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
