“I Was, But God” is the eighth track on ELEVATION RHYTHM’s 10-song album, “Victory Lap,” released on 23 May, 2025. The album as a whole is described as a roadmap for the Christian life following a decision to follow Jesus, with each song contributing to a theme of triumph.
This song explores the profound contrast between a past state of being and the transformative intervention of a higher power. Phrases like “I was walking in the shadows” or “I was lost and undone” stand in stark opposition to the subsequent “But God,” which signifies a turning point of grace and redemption. It highlights a narrative of deliverance and new beginnings, emphasizing how divine intervention can shift a person from despair or limitation to a place of freedom and purpose.
