Verse 1 (Blues) Before the giant shows his face There’s a long, dry road Before the spotlight ever hits There’s a heavy load David didn’t start with a shout and a stone Started watchin’ sheep all alone Lions in the dark, bears in the brush Battles he didn’t choose, couldn’t rush Verse 2 (Blues) Same way it works with me and you Midnight prayers, bills past due Tension hangin’ in the air Silent tears, nobody there Feels like punishment, feels unfair But God’s doin’ somethin’ right there Chorus (Gospel Blues) This ain’t random This ain’t wasted time Every hard night Every uphill climb If you survived it It was meant to be God was buildin’ somethin’ Inside of me Verse 3 (Blues) David said, “Blessed be the Lord, my Rock” Trained my hands for war, taught me how to walk Strength don’t just show up one day It’s built blow by blow along the way Hands, feet, mind, and soul Every hit just made him whole Chorus (Lift) This ain’t random This ain’t by mistake Every heavy blow Helped my backbone take shape Nothing I lived through Was lost or missed God was sayin’, “Child, you’re built for this” Rap / Spoken Funk Break (tight, low) The weapon formed, yeah, I saw it rise But it didn’t win, I’m still alive Lion showed up, I walked away Bear stepped out, still here today Giant talk loud, make crowds afraid But I got receipts from every stage I ain’t flexin’, I ain’t brave like that I just know Who had my back God goes before me, clears the ground Strength is obedience, courage is sound You move your feet even when you shake That’s faith in motion, that’s how it’s made Bridge (Gospel, slow build) He goes before me Stands beside me Walks me straight into the fire I’m not proving my strength I’m proving He’s here Right now Verse 4 (Blues) When the giant finally comes in view You don’t feel panic like you used to You remember nights He pulled you through When nobody else even knew David didn’t trust the stone in his hand He trusted the God who made him stand Final Chorus (Big, repeatable) This ain’t random This ain’t new Every hard thing Prepared me for you I’ve been shaped by mercy Tested by grace I was built in the wilderness For this place Outro (Blues, stripped down) What He brought me through Is proof enough Of where He’s takin’ me My history with God Is stronger than Any giant In front of you
