From tax booth to Testimony (story of Mathew)

Описание: Lyrics-
[Verse 1]
Counting coins in a crowded street
Cold ledger where his heartbeat should be
Bought and sold for a higher fee
People passed
But You saw deep in

“You
Come follow Me” in the dust
In the heat
He left the gold and his old front seat
House full of outcasts
You shared that meal
Turned shame into a doorway to something real

[Chorus]
From tax booth to testimony
You wrote the grace that rewrote your story
Every failure folded in His hands
Mistakes became a map to promised land
Oh Matthew
You show me this
God can turn a wound into a witness
If He could call you from that broken place
He can pull my heart into His grace

[Verse 2]
He loved money
Loved being in control
But the weight of it was crushing his soul
You recorded questions
Doubts
And fear
Still You stayed
Still You kept him near

Saw him sink when the storms rolled in
Saw him run when the night caved in
Yet You rose and You called him “friend”
Let a runaway write how the story ends

[Chorus]
From tax booth to testimony
You wrote the grace that rewrote your story
Every failure folded in His hands
Mistakes became a map to promised land
Oh Matthew
You show me this
God can turn a wound into a witness
If He could call you from that broken place
He can pull my heart into His grace

[Bridge]
You traced the promises
Name by name
Showed us Heaven walked into our shame
You watched the Teacher wear a crown of pain
Then rising light
You could not stay the same

So when I feel too far
Too wrong
Too late (oh-oh)
I remember you and I lift my gaze
If God could change a taker to one who gives
Then in my mess
That same mercy lives

[Chorus]
From tax booth to testimony
You wrote the grace that rewrote your story
Every failure folded in His hands
Mistakes became a map to promised land
Oh Matthew
You show me this
God can turn a wound into a witness
If He could call you from that broken place
He can pull my heart into His grace (yeah)
If He could call you from that broken place
He can pull my heart into His grace
