"The Carpenter’s Sister"
[Soft piano intro, atmospheric, gentle verses with piano, strong chorus, gradually building instrumentation with emotional guitar solo.]
(Intro - soft keys)
(Softly spoken)
In a quiet town of dust and sunlight
Stories walked the narrow streets...
(Verse 1)
She was born in a small stone house
Under Galilee skies
Mary held her close and whispered
“You are part of God’s design”
But down the road the neighbors talked
About her brother’s ways
How he spoke with strange authority
Even in his younger days..
(Chorus)
Oh, what a quiet girl
Living in a louder world
Watching heaven slowly unfold
Oh, what a quiet heart
Trying to understand her part
In a story greater than her own..
(Verse 2)
He would walk along the hillside
Talking of the kingdom near
Crowds would follow just to listen
Every time that he appeared
She stayed back among the doorways
Watching history begin
Wondering what it truly meant
To share the blood of him..
(Chorus)
Oh, what a quiet girl
Living in a louder world
Watching heaven slowly unfold
Oh, what a searching soul
Trying to understand the role
God had written long ago..
Bridge (music builds)
(Break)
(Heavy guitar break)
(Bridge)
When the whispers turned to shouting
When the world began to shake
She remembered childhood evenings
And the promises he'd make..
(Final Chorus)
Oh, what a faithful heart
Standing in the darkest part
When the sky above grew cold
Oh, what a silent prayer
Knowing love was always there
Even when the story hurt to hold..
(Outro - soft again)
(Spoken words)
In a quiet town of dust and sunlight
Grace was walking through the streets.
