Buried Me Deep, but He Still Found Me

They laid me down in borrowed land With broken vows and bloodied hands The preacher wept but didn’t stay He knew I’d never fade away

I heard the dirt fall on my chest Thought I’d earned eternal rest But quiet ain’t what took me whole Something deeper shook my soul

Buried me deep, but He still found me Through the ash and through the sin Didn’t knock, didn’t warn — Just lit a fire beneath my skin The grave was closed, the world moved on But grace came crawling 'fore the dawn Buried me deep, but He still found me... And I rose with the flame

Six feet can’t hold what truth denies Not when guilt still breathes and cries I ran from light, I ran from love But it followed me from up above

The worms had barely made their claim When I heard that voice call out my name Didn’t offer gold or rest or peace — Just a chance I’d never seized

Buried me deep, but He still found me Didn’t care what I had done No robe, no halo, no demand Just whispered, “You ain’t the only one” The past still claws, but I still stand With broken heart and calloused hands Buried me deep, but He still found me... And I ain’t been the same

Buried me deep, but He still found me Through the dark I tried to be He reached through all I thought was dead And lit a fire inside of me So don’t you count the lost as gone Some of us rise before the dawn Buried me deep, but He still found me... And I didn’t beg to be saved
