[Intro: Soft, meditative acoustic piano chords. A low, soothing 7.83Hz theta wave binaural hum pulses in the background. Rhythmic, slow isochronic ticks establish the 82 BPM focus.] (Mmm, mmm, yeah...) (Lord, I've been running on empty...) (Let the noise fade... align my spirit to Your frequency) (Sha-ma-ha-ra-ta! Open up the floodgates) (Listen close now...)
[Verse 1: Intimate, breathy, close-mic vocals over quiet piano] How do you surrender when all your life you've been fighting to survive? Hiding your struggles in everyday life, just trying to stay alive. While hiding from ridicule of being afraid to go on? Jesus has been knocking at my door trying to get in and trying to save me from slipping into the darkness. (Mortal pain... yeah, I've messed up too many times) And I'm done... tired and drained... what's next?
[Pre-Chorus: Subtle cello enters, building tension. Heavy bass pulses begin to throb.] So here I am again, washed by Your unmerited mercy, Full of loathe and disgrace, but Your love is still worthy. But yet You have never left me, and knowing that keeps me sane, In a cold and broken world that tries to hide all of the pain. Let Your goodness, let Your grace, let Your love fill me up inside, And save me before I slip again into the place where I hide! (Save me, Lord! Save me before I fall!)
[Beat Drop: Heavy, slow 808 sub-bass drops hard. Rhythmic, stadium-sized handclaps and driving drums kick in.]
[Chorus: Explosive full band, soaring electric guitar leads, massive gospel choir backing] How do you surrender? (How do you let go?) How do you open up the door and let the living water flow? I'm casting down my armor, laying it all at Your bended knee! You're the grace in the wreckage making my survival complete! No more running this anxious race, no more fighting the dark, You're the King of all Kings, reigniting my beautiful spark! (Reignite the spark, yeah!) (Praise Him with Your lips!)
[Post-Chorus: Catchy Call-and-Response Choir Chant] (Surrender, surrender, yeah, I'm letting Go!) (At the utterance of Your name, let the spirit flow!) (Surrender, surrender, yeah, I'm letting Go!) (No more slipping, no more slipping, no!)
[Verse 2: Gritty, rhythmic R&B worship pocket groove] These blank pages of my life, with the stories still untold, But yet a fairytale is waiting, starting to beautifully unfold. When things are wished while moments are missed in the fray, Opportunities come and gone, watching them all slip away. Should've, could've, would've... but there is no time for regrets, Fears, tears, and anxiety tend to take a hold of my mind. All part of the devil's trap, I loose the grip on the pen that I hold, But the calm and steady thoughts are turning into gold! At the utterance of my name, the pages write themselves!
[Pre-Chorus: Heavy building stomps, electric guitar feedback swells] Why is it that when I am getting ahead, the devil comes out of hiding putting obstacles in my way? But my strength in these times comes from above, and I look up with thankfulness and wonder! (He knows my name!) (He knows my name, yeah!) The storm will end, I've weathered it before, Now watch me step right past the shadow at my door! (Let the drums drop!)
[Bridge: Stripped entirely back. Acoustic piano, foot-stomps, and massive gospel choir chants.] (Speaking in tongues: Ra-ba-sha-ka-ta! He-li-os! Ma-ra-na-tha!) (Stomp, stomp, clap! Let the spirit ride!) He keeps on loving me... regardless of my undoing! (How He loves me!) I am stepping into bold new aptitudes... nothing left to hide! (Scatting: Ski-bi-di-bop, set the spirit free, set it free!) (Choir: Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!)
[Chorus: Stripped-Back Acapella Breakdown] [Acapella - Raw Lead Vocals, Snaps & Choir Harmonies Only] How do you surrender... how do you let go? How do you open up the door and let the living water flow? I'm casting down my armor, laying it at Your feet... [Full Force Band Explosion - Maximum Holy Climax] You’re the grace in the wreckage making my survival complete! No more running this anxious race, no more fighting the dark! You're the King of all Kings, reigniting my spark! (Reigniting my spark!)
[Outro: Slow, peaceful acoustic piano fade-out. Lingering cello. Faint theta wave hum.] At the utterance of Your name... The pages write themselves. (No more slipping...) (No more fears...) Just Your grace. (Just Your grace, Lord) A brand new fairytale. (Surrender... surrender...) [Fade Out with natural room silence] [End]
