Letter To My Father

Tayo’s Testimony…

This is a letter to the Heavenly Father…

Dear Father God…

⸻

Verse 1 (Reflective Rap)

Dear Father God, I don’t know what I’m doing

But I let this pen take the wheel, let the truth in

Lonely son, standing here, heart wide open

Ink dripping prayers, every line unbroken

You the only one I know I can write to

When my soul tired, when my faith see-through

I been running streets, chasing demons for years

Shoes painted red, left a trail of my tears

I chased the devil, yeah, I know his face

Now I’m upstate, beast breathing down my space

Scared to open eyes, scared of what I’ll see

Scared of all the ghosts still living in me

⸻

Pre-Hook (Melodic, Half-Sung)

I don’t wanna face who I used to be

Anti-social heart, labeled “outcast” on me

But You still call my name when I try to hide

You ain’t let the darkness win inside

⸻

Hook (R&B / Gospel Feel)

Father shine through me, I’m learning the way

You stepped in my darkness, taught me how to pray

I’m Your light in the world, I walk by Your truth

Illuminate my life with Your love renewed

Make me the spark in somebody’s night

I won’t hide my glow, I’ll live in Your light

Father shine through me, whatever it cost

I’m Yours forever—

A found, not lost

⸻

Verse 2 (Confessional, Deeper Emotion)

I look to You, Father, You steady my aim

Turn all my prison scars into purpose and flame

You said I’m chosen even broken and bruised

Still worthy of grace, still able to be used

I shouldn’t bury my light under fear

Or let insecurity keep You unclear

If I spend more time sitting at Your feet

You’ll make me glow with a holy heat

Godliness shining, can’t be ignored

Love so loud it kick down doors

Make my life preach louder than pain

Let my testimony outlive my shame

⸻

Bridge (Spoken Word / Choir Swell)

Make me shine in a way they can’t deny

A star that points wounded souls to the sky

Let hope rise where the hurting stay

Use my scars to light the way

If one heart heals from what You do in me

Then every tear was worth the journey

⸻

Final Hook (Bigger, Emotional)

Father shine through me, I’m walking it out

Faith over fear, no room for doubt

I’m Your light in the world, this is my vow

Illuminate my life—

Right here, right now

Make me the bright spot in someone’s pain

Your love in motion, breaking chains

I won’t hide my glow, I’ll live this truth

Forever Yours—

Your son, Your proof

⸻

Outro (Soft, Spoken)

With love always and forever…

Your son,

Tayo
