[Intro]
Early morning
Floor still cold
Bible open
Heart on hold (yeah)
[Verse 1]
I was raised on raised voices
Slamming doors, silent nights
Thought being “man” meant anger
Heavy hands, picking fights
Now I’m standing in the kitchen
Little eyes on my moves
They don’t care how hard I flex
They just copy what I choose
Got this ring, got this roof
Got these bills on my back
But the weight that really crushes
Is my pride when I react
So I’m bowing in the hallway
Whisper prayers through the doubt
“God, I can’t lead ’em right
Till You lead me from the inside out”
[Chorus]
Like Joshua
As for me and my house
We will serve the Lord
We will serve the Lord (yeah)
It’s more than tough talk
More than slamming the door
As for me and my house
We will serve the Lord
(We will, we will)
Like Joshua
[Verse 2]
Got a son with my temper
Got a girl with my fear
Got a wife who’s been waiting
For a softer side to appear
So I’m learning how to listen
How to own when I’m wrong
How to stand in the storm
With a shepherd’s heart, strong
I ain’t perfect, I’m in process
But I’m planted in Your word
When the lies get loud around me
Your promises are heard
So I bless my little table
Every night, same prayer
“Let them see You in their father
More than anywhere”
[Chorus]
Like Joshua
As for me and my house
We will serve the Lord
We will serve the Lord
It’s more than tough talk
More than slamming the door
As for me and my house
We will serve the Lord
(We will, we will)
Like Joshua
[Bridge]
I draw a line in the dust
Right here, right now
What comes through that door
Has to bow, has to bow
Fear, you can’t stay
Pain, you can’t stay
Jesus at the center
Every hour, every day (hey)
[Chorus]
Like Joshua
As for me and my house
We will serve the Lord
We will serve the Lord
I don’t just raise my voice
I raise my hands to the Lord
As for me and my house
We will serve the Lord
(We will, we will)
Like Joshua

rap, Modern Christian trap with male vocals and cinematic choir pads under airy synth bells; tight 808 groove with stutter hats and booming low end. Verses stay close and confessional, half-rap half-melodic, then the hook lifts with stacked gospel harmonies and a wide, anthemic feel. Bridge strips to vocal, bass, and claps before a final, triumphant chorus.
