STILL (He Spoke Anyway)

Verse 1 (Low baritone – restrained)

We pushed out into the darkness
Obedient but unsure
The sky was clear when we left the shoreline
But the night didn’t stay that pure

Water climbed over the railings
Wood cried under the strain
And You were sleeping in the stern, Lord
Like You weren’t afraid of the rain

⸻

Pre-Chorus (Baritone rising)

We bailed faith with shaking hands
While fear took hold of the oar
If You cared like You said You did
Why were You sleeping through the roar

⸻

Chorus (Clean vocal)

Do You see us sinking
Do You hear us pray
The storm keeps shouting louder
And Heaven feels far away

If You really are who You said You were
Why does the water still climb
We’re fighting just to stay alive
While You sleep through the night

⸻

Verse 2 (Baritone with grit)

The wind was preaching panic
Every wave screamed death
And doubt don’t knock polite at midnight
It steals the air from your chest

We shook You awake with desperation
Not faith, just fear in our voice
Teacher, don’t You care we’re dying
We had no other choice

⸻

Pre-Chorus 2 (Half-growl into clean)

You stood up in the chaos
Like the storm knew Your name
You didn’t rush, You didn’t tremble
You never matched our pain

⸻

Chorus 2 (Full band)

Do You see us sinking
Do You hear us pray
The storm keeps shouting louder
And Heaven feels far away

If You really are who You said You were
Why does the water still climb
We’re fighting just to stay alive
While You sleep through the night

⸻

Bridge (Authority section – continuous lyric)

You said peace be still and the wind obeyed
You said peace be still and the waves laid down
At the sound of Your voice the sea went silent
And chaos bowed to what You found

⸻

Bridge 2 (Clean vocal – emotional release)

The wind laid down like it was guilty
The waves forgot how to speak
And in the silence You looked at us
Like the storm was never the peak

⸻

Final Chorus (Massive swell)

You saw us sinking
You heard every prayer
You slept in the storm
Because You were never scared

The wind obeyed You
The sea knew Your will
We feared the waves that night
But Heaven feared You still

⸻
