Title: “Directed Paths”
Verse 1
In the garden where the silence breathed
Truth was clear, no shadows in between
A whispered lie, a fractured trust
One small choice turned gold to dust
We reached for more than we were given
Thought we knew the mind of heaven
Eyes woke up to guilt and shame
The birth of sin, we felt the flame
Pre-Chorus
Freedom came with open hands
But we bent it to our plans
Chorus
We fell, but You never walked away
We ran, but Your mercy stayed
Through every scar, through all our scars
You light the dark and call us Yours
Lean not on what we think we see
You make the crooked straight in me
When I let go, You lead my heart
You will direct my paths
⸻
Verse 2
Two brothers standing at the door
One heart pure, one wanting more
Fire fell, but not the same
Love accepted, pride in flames
Jealousy began to speak
Turned a man against his kin
Blood cried out from broken ground
Peace was lost, but still You found
Pre-Chorus
You warned him gently, soft and clear
But rage was louder than the fear
Chorus
We fell, but You never walked away
We ran, but Your mercy stayed
Through every scar, through all our scars
You light the dark and call us Yours
Lean not on what we think we see
You make the crooked straight in me
When I let go, You lead my heart
You will direct my paths
⸻
Bridge (breakdown → build)
You wanted peace, not sacrifice
You gave us truth, You gave us life
Free will carved in perfect love
Still we chose the dust below
But even when we break Your way
Your promise never fades
You won’t leave us in the night
You won’t forsake
⸻
Final Chorus (key change / bigger)
We fell, but You never walked away
We ran, but Your mercy stayed
From Eden’s gate to Calvary
You’ve always been reaching for me
I won’t lean on what I understand
I’ll trust the voice that holds my hand
When I surrender who I am
You will direct my paths
⸻
Outro
Through the fall, through every flame
You remain the same
I let go… You lead the way
