Verse 1 (Clean guitar + low strings)
Lights down low, truth came fast
No defense from my past
Every question hit the core
Every answer opened doors
Walls I built in fear and shame
Brick by brick, they knew my name
I laid it bare, no place to hide
That’s when You stepped inside
Pre-Chorus (Cellos rise, timpani swell)
I laid it down, didn’t run
You moved in when I was done
Chorus (Full band + orchestra)
You changed my DNA
Breathed Your life into my veins
Where the stone was, now there’s grace
Where the wound was, You took place
Brick by brick, You filled the space
Love and mercy sealed my frame
I’m not who I was yesterday
You changed my DNA
Verse 2 (Driving riff + violins pulsing)
I spoke the names, I made the calls
Watched the old walls finally fall
What was buried stayed below
I walked free, I let it go
Not a spark that fades away
Not a moment fueled by praise
This is fire that stays lit
Built to last, alive in it
Pre-Chorus (Choir enters softly)
I don’t need the noise to know
Roots grow deep where mercy flows
Chorus (Bigger — brass + choir)
You changed my DNA
Breathed Your life into my veins
Where the stone was, now there’s grace
Where the wound was, You took place
Brick by brick, You filled the space
Love and mercy sealed my frame
I’m not who I was yesterday
You changed my DNA
Bridge (Orchestra-only start → band crashes in)
Not just forgiven — rebuilt
Not patched up — made new
You didn’t just break my chains
You taught my heart how to beat again
(Choir holds “Ohhh” while guitars chug)
Breakdown (Half-time, strings stabbing)
I’m alive
I’m awake
Your love rewrote my name
Final Chorus (Max — symphony + band)
You changed my DNA
Hope is written in my veins
Every scar now tells Your grace
Every breath a brand-new day
Brick by brick, You filled the space
Love and mercy sealed my frame
I’m not who I was yesterday
You changed my DNA
Outro (Clean guitar + strings)
Same cross
Same blood
Different man
Because of love
You changed my DNA
