Press on, my child, shake off that doubt
[Intro] I feel defeated, the battle’s been lost, My loved one suffers, at great cost. Tears flood my bed, my vision’s blurred, Worn out by grief, unheard, disturbed. (Quick, jazzy rhythm with a shuffle beat) [Verse 1] This suffering’s got me down on my knees, In fasting and prayer, Lord, I beg you please. I rend my heart, with honesty clear, To the King of Kings, my ally near. (Smooth jazz, with an accentuated snare beat) [Chorus] “I hear your cries, I know your pain, I hold your tears, and still sustain. My plans are peace, your future true, My Spirit’s within you, I strengthen you. Press on, my child, shake off that doubt.” (Stronger backbeat with a soulful rhythm section) [Verse 2] Faith takes root, and doubt fades away, Hope fills the space, takes charge today. Strength like fire, in my veins it roars, The spirit burns, opens up the doors. Through every trial, I will win, Transformed by light that’s deep within. (Steady rhythm with more percussion for added punch) [Bridge] “When you call, I will hear, In your dark, I draw near. Before you speak, I’ll answer fast, In times of need, I’ll see you through at last.” (Swing feel with syncopation in the guitar and horns) The righteous cry, and I deliver, I heal the broken, love’s my river. I’ll encourage, strengthen you, Every prayer makes you new. (Increase intensity for the final lines) [Verse 3] I feel unstoppable, his words true, With the power of the Ancient One in view. My will is His, I stand strong, A servant’s heart, where I belong. Evil flees, and fear is gone, I’ll save the one I love, through the Holy One. (Fast-paced, with emphasis on rhythm guitar and bass) [Final Chorus Duet] “I hear your cries, I know your pain, I hold your tears, and still sustain. My plans are peace, your future true, My Spirit’s within you, I strengthen you. Press on, my child, shake off that doubt.” (Energetic rhythm, with emphasis on call-and-response between voices) [Outro] With faith and hope, I rise as one, The battle not yet fought, is already won. I follow the path, His plan divine, The Almighty guides, His light will shine. Victory is mine, I trust and see, His perfect will, has strengthened me. (Slow down towards the end for a final, soulful delivery)
