God Protected Me

Verse 1

Trouble was always waiting at every turn

And I kept stepping into its path

Some lessons only a fool can learn

Before the wreckage shows its aftermath

Verse 2

Bad choices lined up like open doors

And I walked through them thinking I’d be fine

The cost was higher than I bargained for

But I kept ignoring every warning sign

Chorus

God protected me when I was young and stupid

Pulled me away from roads that would have ruined me

Held me up when everything around me shifted

Showed me mercy I couldn't see

The reason I am old and wise is simple

God protected me when I was young and stupid

Verse 3

Looking back now at the paths I took

I see the danger I couldn’t see then

Grace was written in the cracks I overlooked

Long before I learned the weight of certain men

Chorus

God protected me when I was young and stupid

Pulled me away from roads that would have ruined me

Held me up when everything around me shifted

Showed me mercy I couldn't see

The reason I am old and wise is simple

God protected me when I was young and stupid

Bridge

There were nights that almost finished my story

But God cut in before the broken part claimed glory

Chorus

God protected me when I was young and stupid

Pulled me away from roads that would have ruined me

Held me up when everything around me shifted

Showed me mercy I couldn't see

The reason I am old and wise is simple

God protected me when I was young and stupid
