[Verse 1 - Spoken-sung, heavy guitar riff intro]
(Growl it slow, let the steel guitar weep)
Out in them fields ‘neath a Galilee moon,
Humble man rose, singin’ freedom’s tune.
Read that scroll loud, eyes on the blind,
“Good news, poor souls—leave your burdens behind.”
[Pre-Chorus - Build with drums]
Shoreline to streets, he walked that line,
Healed the busted, stopped the whine.
Storm clouds broke when he called ‘em down,
Whiskey river faith in a dusty town.
[Chorus - Big, gravel roar, full band kick-in]
Good news to the lowly, yank ‘em from the dirt!
Sinners rise up, shake off the hurt!
Manger to the cross, night to breakin’ day,
Mild King of the lost—light my ragged way!
[Verse 2 - Pickin’ rhythm, slide guitar]
Soldier’s faith stopped him cold in his tracks,
Widow’s boy breathin’, death takin’ back.
Jericho road, blood in the sand,
Stranger’s mercy—neighbor’s stand.
[Pre-Chorus]
Stories hit hard, flipped them hearts inside out,
Dead men walkin’, lost ones shout.
Parables burn like a backroad fire,
Seein’ truth clear, liftin’ higher.
[Chorus - Louder, harmonies growl underneath]
Good news to the lowly, yank ‘em from the dirt!
Sinners rise up, shake off the hurt!
Manger to the cross, night to breakin’ day,
Mild King of the lost—light my ragged way!
[Bridge - Slow it down, half-time, deepest gravel prayer]
Garden sweat like blood on that lonesome hill,
“Thy will, Father,” bendin’ but never still.
Nailed high, mocked low, paradise he gave,
One thief remembered—dug from the grave.
[Verse 3 - Pick up tempo, roadhouse energy]
Women at dawn, stone rolled aside,
Tomb standin’ empty, no place to hide.
Road to Emmaus, stranger by their side,
Hearts blazin’ hot—truth opened wide.
[Final Chorus - Double-time outro, fade with riff]
Good news to the lowly, pull me from the mud!
Eyes on the highway, saved by your blood!
Cross to the glory, grave busted in two,
Risen road-walker—Kingdom ringin’ true!
Tag - Fade with gravel ad-lib
From Luke’s old pages, spirit hits me hard,
Son of dust and glory—play my ace card.
