[Intro, ambient fingerpicked guitar, soft tape hiss, distant synth pad] I set a reminder Thursday at ten Just four words glowing blue “Jesus, where are You?” [Verse 1, intimate vocal, spacious instrumentation] Most days blur together now Like headlights through heavy rain I carry this dull exhaustion Like a pressure in my brain Everybody says You’re reigning But the world still shakes at night And I keep searching for a doorway Some fracture in the ceiling light [pre-chorus] I thought heaven would feel louder Like fire falling through the trees But instead it moves in whispers Barely brushing against me [Chorus, emotional lift, layered harmonies] Maybe the veil is thinner than I know Maybe You move in quieter ways I kept waiting for transcendence For glory dressed in gold But maybe heaven blooms around us Soft and hidden in the ordinary cold Maybe You’ve been here the whole time [Verse 2, loose drums enter, warmer instrumentation] There are people carrying whole worlds Behind exhausted eyes Still showing up with tenderness Still keeping fragile things alive And I wonder if that’s holiness Not escape but staying near Holding broken things together When it would be easier to disappear [pre-chorus] I always thought dominion Meant thunder, crowns, and control But instead it looks like gardening Learning what wounded things need most [Chorus, fuller, more emotional urgency] Maybe the veil is thinner than I know Maybe the kingdom’s closer than I think I kept waiting for transcendence For glory dressed in gold But maybe heaven blooms around us Soft and hidden in the ordinary cold Maybe You’ve been here the whole time [Bridge, stripped back, vulnerable vocal] You ascended But somehow You got closer Now the world hums with Your presence glory isn’t spectacle it’s attention Maybe the holiest thing I can do Is finally learn to notice [Final Chorus, swelling emotional climax] Maybe the veil is thinner than I know Maybe heaven’s hidden in the small things I kept waiting for transcendence For glory dressed in gold But maybe heaven blooms around us Soft and hidden in the ordinary cold Maybe You’ve been here the whole time [Outro, soft guitar harmonics, fading ambient textures] I’ll stop long enough To ask where You are for one sacred moment I’ll remember You were never far [end] So I’ll set a reminder Thursday at ten Just four words glowing blue “Jesus, where are You?”
