[Verse 1]
I stood before the throne alone
No place to hide, no mask to show
Every word, each secret thought
Laid bare before a holy God
The book was opened, page by page
I held my breath in silent weight
But mercy spoke before the end
A voice that called me “child” again
[Verse 2]
Then I felt arms I’d longed to hold
My father’s laugh, my mother’s soul
The friends I lost along the way
All there to meet me at the gate
But none of it could quite compare
To who was waiting at the stairs
The One who held my every tear
Was closer now than ever near
[Chorus]
And then I saw Him—Jesus, standing
Wounds still there, love commanding
I should’ve fallen, should’ve run
But He just smiled and said, “Well done”
Every burden, every shame
Was gone the moment that He came
I thought I knew amazing grace
But not like in that holy place—
The moment I saw Him
[Bridge]
Every fear was swallowed whole
Every scar had made me whole
What I thought was death was birth
To the only thing of worth
[Tag]
I made it home, but not alone
He walked me in, and took His throne
And I will praise Him endless days
For grace that met me face to face
[Outro]
Yes, I saw Him—Jesus, waiting
Heaven’s light, no more debating
Not my works, not my name
But His blood that took my blame
And when I crossed that final line
I found the arms that welcomed mine
Forever changed, forever His
The moment I saw Him
