Lyrics
Verse 1
Man, I was in trouble, I was all alone
And the fight I'm fightin, it was for my soul
I was waiting for a change, but wasn’t changing
I was trying not to bend, but I was breaking
I was out of answers, I was out of plans
And the only thing I had to bring were dirty hands
I was looking for a friend but couldn’t find one
I was barely hanging on
Chorus
And like jumper cables to my chest
From death to life in just one breath
You left an open grave
That’s the moment my whole world changed
Verse 2
I was falling faster, I was sinking in
Didn’t know how razor close that I was to the end
All along you knew that I would need a Savior
So You resurrected me
Chorus
And like jumper cables to my chest
From death to life in just one breath
You left an open grave
That’s the moment my whole world changed
Like lightning tearing through the dark
Your love came bursting through my heart
Oh what amazing grace
Tag
That’s the moment my whole world, moment my whole world changed
Bridge
This is my story, this is my resurrection song
Ashes to glory Heaven on earth has just begun
Outro
When the world went silent
And all hope was lost
When the king of heaven hung upon a sinner’s cross
In the moment, yeah, we thought that it was over
Turns out that we were wrong

Meaning & Inspiration
World Changed is a testimony song about being rescued from despair by the resurrection of Jesus. The first verse describes being in trouble and alone, fighting for the soul, waiting for change without changing, running out of answers and plans, and having only dirty hands to bring. The chorus compares the moment of salvation to jumper cables to the chest, going from death to life in one breath, an open grave and the moment the whole world changed, with a line about love bursting through the heart like lightning.
The second verse says that the singer was falling and sinking and did not know how close the end was, but that God had always known a Savior was needed and resurrected the singer. The bridge calls the song a resurrection story, ashes to glory, and recalls the day the world went silent and the King of heaven hung on a sinner's cross. The themes follow Ephesians 2:4-5, John 11:43-44 and 2 Corinthians 5:17. The energetic delivery gives it a bright, triumphant tone.
