I’ve Been Forgiven by a God I Don’t Believe In (Alt 4)

They said He don’t forget a name But I never gave Him mine I rode through flame, I rode through shame But grace still found me every time

No scripture carved across my chest No holy book in hand Just ashes, guns, and empty threats — Still He forgave what I don’t understand

I’ve been forgiven by a God I don’t believe in Didn’t ask, didn’t kneel — just kept breathin’ If there’s a light, it ain’t mine But it followed me down every line Don’t need a cross to feel the weight Don’t need a heaven to seal my fate I’ve been forgiven by a God I don’t believe in... And I kept ridin’ on

I cursed the sky and dared the storms I prayed with bullets, not with psalms Still felt that wind behind my back When I should’ve burned and never came back

No angel’s voice, no trumpet sound Just dust that rose when I fell down But I stood up and rode away With grace I never chose to claim

I’ve been forgiven by a God I don’t believe in No robe, no crown, no stained-glass reason I bled alone, I rode through sin But still the road let me back in Don’t need no choir to sing my name The silence knew and did the same I’ve been forgiven by a God I don’t believe in... And I don’t owe Him a thing

So if you see me ride alone With no altar, no carved stone Just know the mercy that I hold Ain’t borrowed, bought, or ever sold

I’ve been forgiven by a God I don’t believe in Didn’t bow, didn’t break, didn’t need him But still I carry what He gave Even if I don’t know the name So carve my sins in burning dust But leave the rest to fire and rust I’ve been forgiven by a God I don’t believe in... And I ride with that alone
