[Instrumental Intro | Rhodes + slow bass pulse | 8 bars] [**low heartbeat pulse**] [**warm Rhodes swell**] [**fingerstyle bass enters**] [Verse 1 | both voices | sung in unison | slow and intimate] Two voices living in my chest tonight One wants a crown — one leans toward the light Both of them been calling my name It's time for change — it's time for change [Verse 1 — Pride | sharp confident male rap | drums kick in] Look at what you built, look at what you made Every door you walked through, I'm the one who prayed I drove you through the dark when nobody believed I'm the hunger in your chest, I'm the reason that you breathe You think you'll let me go and still have something left? Every giant that you slew — I was in your step Call me what you want but you feel me in your veins You walk away from me, you walk away from your fame [Verse 1 — Humility | smooth melodic female gospel vocal | Rhodes swells] Every gift you're claiming — came down from above Every open door was mercy wrapped in love You didn't build a thing that God didn't lay You didn't breathe a breath He didn't give that day Saul stood tall and thought the throne was his to own One act of pride and God snatched back the loan The hand that lifts you up can lay you in the ground You only keep the crown He lets you have around [Chorus | full gospel choir | call and response | layered harmonies] He giveth more grace — more grace — more grace To the ones who dare to take the lower place God resists the proud but He lifts the low You cannot receive if you won't let go He giveth more grace — more grace — more grace Humble yourself — know your humble place He giveth more grace He giveth more grace [Verse 2 — Pride | sharp confident male rap | harder | more desperate | beat intensifies] You really gon' wait while they pass you by? Sit in the back while the lesser ones rise? You've been faithful, you've been patient, you've been still You've paid every cost, you've climbed every hill Faith without works is dead — I heard you say it So why you kneeling when it's time to take it? God blesses those who move — so make your move You've earned your place [**beat drops out completely**] [**long room reverb**] so make your move... [**echo fading**] so make your move... [**echo almost gone**] so make your move... [**silence**] [**silence**] [**single Rhodes note drops in**] [Verse 2 — Humility | smooth melodic female gospel vocal | sung into the silence] It is God that works in me Both to will and then to do Philippians two thirteen, baby That glory belongs to Him not you Uzziah burned the incense Tried to take what wasn't his place How are you gon' try and take What only God can give through grace [Chorus | full gospel choir | call and response | layered harmonies] He giveth more grace — more grace — more grace To the ones who dare to take the lower place God resists the proud but He lifts the low You cannot receive if you won't let go He giveth more grace — more grace — more grace Humble yourself — know your humble place He giveth more grace He giveth more grace [Bridge | beat drops to heartbeat only | female gospel vocal | whispered | breaking] [**drums fall away**] [**single Rhodes note — sustained**] I don't promote myself I don't demand my due I lay it at the altar I trust in only You The Spirit intercedes for me With groanings too deep for words Exalt me in Your time, Lord Not mine — Yours [Build | strings swelling | choir inhale | kick drum returning slow and deep] [**strings swelling**] [**choir inhale**] [**kick drum — slow, deep, returning**] [Final Chorus | full explosion | choir | strings | full band | anthemic] He giveth more grace — more grace — more grace To the ones who dare to take the lower place God resists the proud but He lifts the low You cannot receive if you won't let go He giveth MORE grace — MORE grace — MORE grace Humble yourself — know your humble place He giveth more grace He giveth more grace He giveth — more — grace... [Outro | female gospel vocal alone | victorious | barely a whisper | fades into Rhodes] I am nothing without You, Lord I claim no crown, I carry no sword All I have is borrowed time All I am — is a beating heart — Thine [**Rhodes fades**] [**single bass note — held**] [**silence**]
