"Godsend" lyrics

"Godsend"

I had added it up
I had made all my plans
But the road I had paved turned into dust
And I just didn't understand

I prayed for You to show up
I laid my weapons down
Surrendered to Your Love
No looking back now

Oh, every closed door, every single sharp thorn
Every answer that didn't make sense
What if maybe
They were just teaching me to depend on
Your strength in the dark days
All my tears got me crying out to You again
What if maybe
Every broken place I've been was a godsend?
Godsend
It was a Godsend

I remember being convinced
There'd never been a winter so cold
Turns out spring was around the corner
You were turning it into gold

And when I couldn't feel You
And it was hard to breathe
I realized I need you
Now I see the beauty in

Every closed door, every single sharp thorn
Every answer that didn't make sense
What if maybe
They were just teaching me to depend on
Your strength in the dark days
All my tears got me crying out to You again
What if maybe
Every broken place I've been was a godsend?
Godsend
It was a Godsend

God, send more mountains that I need Your help to move
God, send me through the storm if it gets me back to You
God, send a light to lead me when I don't know what to do
God, send me to my knees just to bring me close to You

Every closed door, every single sharp thorn
Every answer that didn't make sense
What if maybe
They were just teaching me to depend on
Your strength in the dark days
These tears got me crying out to You again
What if maybe
Every broken place I've been was a godsend?
Whoa
Godsend
Even if I didn't know it then
Godsend
Godsend
Even though I didn't know it then
