Serenity

Alright — new song: Serenity 🌙

Calm, grounded, devotional without preaching. This one breathes.

⸻

Title: Serenity

Mood / Lane

Stillness • surrender • quiet strength • late-night calm

Feels like exhaling after holding too much for too long.

Key: D major (warm, open, reassuring)

Tempo: ~62 BPM

Time: 4/4, slow sway

Instruments

• Piano (felt or soft grand) — carries the prayer

• Violin — long, sustained lines (no drama)

• Flute — light, airy responses

• Low pad / ambient choir — barely there

• Subtle bass (warm, round, no movement)

• No heavy drums — just a soft pulse or brushed texture

Lyrics

Intro (instrumental – 8 bars)

piano only, let it settle

⸻

Verse 1

I’m laying down the weight I’ve been carrying

Some things were never mine to control

I breathe in peace, let the noise fall away

I don’t need every answer to know

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Teach my heart what to hold

What to loosen, what to release

Give me eyes to see the moment

And the grace to let it be

⸻

Chorus

Give me serenity

For the things I can’t change

Give me courage when it’s time

To rise and rearrange

And the wisdom, softly spoken

In the quiet in between

I’ll live this moment slowly

Wrapped in serenity

⸻

Verse 2

One day at a time, I’m learning the rhythm

Not rushing tomorrow to come

Even the hard roads are shaping my spirit

Every shadow bends toward the sun

⸻

Pre-Chorus 2

I don’t need the world my way

I just need my heart aligned

I release what I can’t carry

Trust the rest to time

⸻

Chorus

Give me serenity

For the things I can’t change

Give me courage when it’s time

To rise and rearrange

And the wisdom, softly spoken

In the quiet in between

I’ll live this moment slowly

Wrapped in serenity

⸻

Bridge (drop instruments → piano + pad)

If I surrender, I’m not losing ground

I’m finally standing still

If I let go, I’m not giving up

I’m leaning into Your will

(violin enters gently here)

⸻

Final Chorus (softer, lifted)

Give me serenity

Let my spirit rest

Reasonably happy here

At peace within my breath

I trust what’s being written

Even what I haven’t seen

I walk this life in grace now

Wrapped in serenity

⸻

Outro

hum or “mm” vocal + violin fade

Serenity…

Serenity…

Producer Note (Zona-ready)

A slow, intimate devotional R&B / ambient gospel piece centered on surrender, calm, and emotional clarity. Minimal, warm instrumentation designed for late-night listening and inner grounding.
