[OLD-FASHIONED PENTECOSTAL GOSPEL PRAISE] [Original mature male lead vocalist] [Hammond B3 organ, gospel piano, live drums, bass] [Traditional gospel choir] [Joyful mid-tempo church praise] [INTRO] [Bright Hammond B3 organ and piano] [Drums enter with lively gospel groove] [Handclaps and tambourine] [VERSE 1 — MALE LEAD] In the City of David, hope arises, With Jesus Christ, my Savior, love surprises. His light shatters darkness, igniting the way, In every shadow, His grace will stay. We gather in faith, united in song, With hearts full of praise, where we all belong. [CHORUS — LEAD AND GOSPEL CHOIR] Praise Him, for He's the truth, our everlasting Father, Boldness in His name, joy that won't shatter. Every voice lifted high, in unity we sing, To the One who gives life, our praises we bring. In every moment, His love will endure, Together we stand, His promise is sure. [HAMMOND ORGAN FILL] [Choir swells] [Handclaps intensify] [FINAL CHORUS REPRISE — MALE LEAD AND CHOIR] Praise Him, for He is the truth, our everlasting Father, Boldness in His name, joy that won't shatter. [CHOIR: HALLELUJAH! PRAISE THE LORD!] [Triumphant Hammond B3 organ, drums, and choir ending]
