Verse 1 (piano alone, voice scraped bare, 0:00-0:45) Lord, I remember when he looked in my eyes, Said Satan’s comin’ to sift like wheat—no lies (Luke 22:31). Did he know he’d be the hand bringin’ the storm? Held what was left when it crumbled, worn and torn. Knees hit the boards, flood came quiet and sure, Silence cut deeper than any could endure. Pre-Chorus (violin scrapes in faint, voice stays low, 0:45-1:15) Divisions ran deep, but God gave me robes of righteousness to hold (Isaiah 61:10), Through his battle, Spirit’s grip never cold. Pain came steady, betrayal wore thin, Gave all of me, but it stayed locked in. Chorus (cello rumbles under, voice holds even—no peak, 1:15-2:00) Jesus fixed what broke under weight of the years, Blood covered scars, dried old tears. Chains fell easy, quiet as dust, New root in Him—love we can trust. Verse 2 (guitar joins sparse, slow drag, 2:00-2:45) “Where is your God now?” he asked through the fight, “My God is here—brought your darkness to light.” Warrior rose in my spirit, Jesus gave the fight, Real spiritual battle, vines of living water tight (John 7:38). Storms held no mercy, knelt down in the clay, Cracks ran through us, night stole the day. Pre-Chorus (strings scrape dissonant, voice raw-steady, 2:45-3:15) Grace held the edge when all else gave way, Held robes of righteousness through the longest day. Spirit said hold—He’ll carry the load, He filled with living water, vines that grow. Chorus (piano grounds it, voice plain and true, 3:15-4:00) Jesus fixed what broke under weight of the years, Blood covered scars, dried old tears. Chains fell easy, quiet as dust, New root in Him—love we can trust. Bridge (instruments drop near-silent—violin one thin cry, cello breathes low, voice plain and slow, 4:00-5:30) He fell to his knees when the truth broke the veil, Born again, redeemed—dark no more prevail (John 3:3). Robes covered the battle, living water flowed free, Vines wrapped our wounds in the real victory. Fell deep in dark where no light could reach, Siftin’ like wheat, but He taught mercy to teach. Not my hands, Lord—Yours pulled us through, Set free forever, me and him too. (Instrumental holds: violin thin line over cello drone, piano single notes—shift feels like breath, not storm.) Final Chorus (strings hint warmth, voice testifies low and sure, 5:30-6:30) Jesus fixed what broke under weight of the years, Blood sealed the cracks till no mark appears. Born again, redeemed, chains fell away free, New love in Him—vines of living water, see. Outro (piano fades to echo, violin one last note hangs, voice trails plain, 6:30-7:00) Love him still… siftin’ passed, robes held tight… In Christ we hold—living water, vines of light.
