Lyrics
Verse 1
Every breath I borrow
Every sunrise
Every ache
Feels like I'm learning how to leave
While I’m living wide awake
Yeah the mirror keeps on talking
Lines of time across my face
But I'm leaning on a promise
That this heart is headed someplace
Chorus
The older I get
The more I know
Every step is closer home
Every day I live
I daily die
But I’m not afraid
I’m following my Savior
I’m walking with Jesus right past the grave
(I’m walking with Jesus right past the grave)
Verse 2
All the trophies turn to clutter
All the noise begins to fade
But Your mercy’s getting louder
Than the fear of that dark gate
So I lay down every idol
Every record of my shame
You already walked through midnight
Now You’re calling me by name
Chorus
The older I get
The more I know
Every step is closer home
Every day I live
I daily die
But I’m not afraid
I’m following my Savior
I’m walking with Jesus right past the grave
(yeah, Jesus)
I’m walking with Jesus right past the grave
