Road To Damascus

A song inspired by the conversion of Saul — a man convinced he was serving God while persecuting those who followed Jesus. On the road to Damascus, everything he trusted in was shattered by a light from heaven and a voice that called him by name. Blinded and brought to his knees, Saul discovered that grace could reach even him. The road that began with certainty, violence and pride became the beginning of surrender, transformation and a new calling. The persecutor became a witness.

Scripture: Acts 9:1–19; Acts 22:6–16; Acts 26:12–18

Lyrics

I wore my certainty like steel
Hard on the road, hard in the fire
Names on my tongue, stones in my hand
Calling it holy, calling it right

I had no fear of what I saw
Only the path I thought was mine
Then the noon split open over me
And all my reasons fell behind

Then the light
More than light
It searched my bones
It broke my pride

Then the Voice
Called my name
And every lie
Went up in flame

Saul, why do you strike Me?
Why do you rise against the dawn?
Saul, why do you strike Me?
I am the One you have been chasing all along

I was blind
Now I see
I was lost
Now You have found me

Dust on my face, my strength gone thin
My hands shook as the world stood still
The road I ruled became a grave
And mercy came with a wounded will

Not from my merit, not from my rage
Not from the ruin I had made
But from a grace I could not name
That lifted me and pulled me up again

Then the light
More than light
It searched my bones
It broke my pride

Then the Voice
Called my name
And every chain
Let go in shame

Saul, why do you strike Me?
Why do you rise against the dawn?
Saul, why do you strike Me?
I am the One you have been chasing all along

I was blind
Now I see
I was lost
Now You have found me

Make me new
From the ground
Take this heart
Turn it around

Burn the seal
Break the sword
Set my steps
For something more

I was dust
Now I kneel
Speak, my Lord
Here I am

Saul, why do you strike Me?
Why do you rise against the dawn?
Saul, why do you strike Me?
I am the One you have been chasing all along

I was blind
Now I see
I was lost
Now You have found me

Send me out
I will go
To the ones
Who need to know

I was dead
Now I live
Take my life
I give, I give
