Verse 1
In a place of desperation, I’m seeking out your grace
It’s a place where my temptations want to fill that empty space
But the more I sing your praises less and less the fight is mine
For the King arrives and takes the fight as I watch his kingdom rise
Chorus 1
You are the one who goes before
You are the truth that will restore
If the battle’s just too big for me, it belongs to you
Jesus You are the promise and breakthrough
Verse 2
The struggle isn’t winning when I’m seeking out your face
There’s a freedom in my praises when your glory’s what I chase
And the more that I surrender to the one who takes it all
Now I can rise right by your side and watch my giants fall
Chorus 2
You are the one who goes before
You are the truth that will restore
If the battle’s just too big for me, it belongs to you
Jesus You are the promise and breakthrough
Bridge 1
Through open waters you will defend me
Through every fear you will protect me
The fire by night the cloud by day you lead me where to go
You’re the King that will not leave me
You’re the King that will not fail me
You’re my Father the King of Kings Who fights on my behalf
Bridge 2
Through open waters you will defend me
Through every fear you will protect me
The fire by night the cloud by day you lead me where to go
You’re the King that will not leave me
You’re the King that will not fail me
You’re my Father the King of Kings Who fights on my behalf
Chorus 3
You are the one who goes before
You are the truth that will restore
If the battle’s just too big for me, it belongs to you
Jesus You are the promise and breakthrough
If the battle’s just too big for me, it belongs to you
Jesus You are the promise and breakthrough
If the battle’s just too big for me, it belongs to you
Jesus You are the promise and breakthrough
