(V. 1) Never thought I’d be in this position that you can find me in./ Represent a higher place but working for the lobby men./ Cause I wasn’t predestined and chosen for self boasting man./ It was graciously given for the benefit of saving other lonely men./ So break ‘em in, and show them life./ Oh you scared of death? But He lived twice./ Cause He overcame, when He took that pain./ For the sinners of this world, such amazing grace!
(HOOK) I’m on my way up! You can’t bring me down./ I can’t Him enough, I didn’t earn this crown./ I didn’t earn this now, nah I didn’t earn this crown./ Christ came and died, so I can live now. (x2)
(V. 2) So I’m screaming out “mercy, mercy”/ I’m so imperfect./ I’m so unworthy, such a sinful person./ How could you choose me? How could you love me?/ Show me compassion, when you could just judge me./ Look at my past and tell me if I was different./ From any other man, nor women or even children./ He opened up my eyes, gave me meaning and provision./ spread the love that He gave, teach repentance and forgiveness, like../
(HOOK) I’m on my way up! You can’t bring me down./ I can’t Him enough, I didn’t earn this crown./ I didn’t earn this now, nah I didn’t earn this crown./ Christ came and died, so I can live now. (x2)
(BRIDGE) I haven’t been the same since the day He came./ Yeah I haven’t been the same since the day He came./ I haven’t loved the same since the day He came./ Yeah I haven’t loved the same since the day He came./
I said I’ll ride for my King/ I’ll die for my King/ Spend every single night trying to fight for the King/ Do what’s right for the King, In sight of my King/ uh oh! Till the day that I go! (x2) …
(HOOK) I’m on my way up! You can’t bring me down./ I can’t Him enough, I didn’t earn this crown./ I didn’t earn this now, nah I didn’t earn this crown./ Christ came and died, so I can live now. (x2)
