Hannah’s Prayer
Subtitle: surrender before fruit
Tempo: 68 BPM (deep, inward, steady)
Key: E minor → resolves to G major
Style: sacred cinematic / intimate authority
Core Instruments:
• Piano – confession, steady breath
• Violin – longing → release
• Low strings – years of weight
• Soft pulse – quiet persistence
• Air pad – God who hears without noise
(Inspired by First Book of Samuel 1–2)
⸻
Intro (8 bars — unanswered years)
• Piano repeats a simple, unresolved pattern
• Violin enters faintly, almost breaking
(This is prayer before words.)
⸻
Verse 1
I came again
With nothing new
Same ache
Same pew
Lips were moving
No sound came out
Some prayers are formed
Without a shout
⸻
Pre-Chorus
They mistook my silence
For something unclean
But God can hear
What the mouth can’t mean
⸻
Chorus
I poured it out
And let it go
No demand
No hold
If You give
I’ll give back
I won’t clutch
What You entrust
⸻
Instrumental Turn (4 bars)
• Violin steadies, less fragile
• Piano breathes between chords
(Something shifts internally.)
⸻
Verse 2
No promise spoken
No sign displayed
But peace arrived
And with it, change
I left the room
Still empty-handed
But hope was now
Replanted
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Faith isn’t proof
It’s release
Trust doesn’t tighten
It loosens its grip
⸻
Chorus
I poured it out
Before the fruit
Before the answer
Before the proof
What I wanted
I gave away
And watched God
Reorder the days
⸻
Bridge (everything drops back)
I won’t build my joy
On what I keep
I’ll build it on
What I release
If it comes
It comes from You
If it stays
It stays with You
(Violin begins to rise — calm, healed)
⸻
Final Chorus (key lift to G major)
I poured it out
And found my name
Not barren
Not ashamed
The gift returned
But not the same
What I surrendered
Became a flame
⸻
Outro
• Piano resolves warm and open
• Violin completes the melody
• Silence — the prayer was heard
