Intro (Sparse piano – low notes, hollow room ambience)
No steps…
No strength…
Only hands…
⸻
Verse 1 (Low baritone – restrained, close-mic)
I’ve been stuck inside this body
Longer than I can explain
Every prayer feels borrowed
Every breath feels like a chain
They carried me through the city
Past the stares, past the doubt
But the house was packed with answers
And there was no way in or out
⸻
Pre-Chorus (Baritone rises – tension building)
The door was closed by bodies
The windows sealed by pride
So they climbed above the ceiling
Where faith don’t ask permission why
⸻
Chorus (Clean vocal – wide, aching)
They tore the roof wide open
Dropped me right in front of You
I didn’t say a single word
But You already knew
You didn’t ask about my legs
You spoke to something worse
You said, “Your sins are forgiven”
And the room froze at the nerve
⸻
Verse 2 (Baritone with grit – drums enter, restrained)
The teachers sharpened their silence
Called it blasphemy in their heads
But You read the thoughts they never said
Like You heard the dead
You asked what was harder to speak
What word carried more weight
To heal a body stuck in time
Or break a soul out of its cage
⸻
Pre-Chorus 2 (Half-growl → clean lift)
You proved Your authority
Not by what they could see
But by changing what held me down
Before You set me free
⸻
Chorus 2 (Full band – heavier, darker)
They tore the roof wide open
Dropped me right in front of You
I didn’t say a single word
But You already knew
You didn’t ask about my legs
You spoke to something worse
You said, “Your sins are forgiven”
And the room shook at the nerve
⸻
Bridge (Breakdown – growl, slow, crushing)
WHO CAN FORGIVE?
(pause)
Only God.
THEN WATCH THIS.
⸻
Bridge 2 (Clean vocal – exposed, emotional peak)
You looked straight through the doubt
Into bones that hadn’t moved
Said, “Get up, take your mat
And walk like you’ve been loosed”
The weight I carried for years
Fell silent on the floor
I stood where I was lowered down
And I wasn’t broken anymore
⸻
Final Chorus (Massive swell – clean high range over crushing band)
They carried me to Your presence
But I walked away whole
You healed more than my body
You resurrected my soul
You forgave me before You healed me
You knew what I needed most
I came in through a broken roof
And left carrying hope
⸻
Outro (Instruments drop → piano + whisper)
Get up…
Walk…
(final piano note rings)
