V5.5

[Intro]
[Acoustic guitar plucking slowly. Distant choir humming. Raw, spoken-word delivery]
Yeah.
Lord, we standing right here in the fire.
But we ain’t burning.
Down here in Calhoun, the clouds look heavy.
But my faith is heavier.
Me and Erica, we looking up at the sky...
Knowing You control the rain.
Let’s go.
[Verse 1]
[Beat drops. Heavy 808s, slow deliberate rim-shots. Rapping with conviction and pain]
Lord, I’m navigating valleys where the shadows getting thick
The enemy is plotting heavy, trying to make my spirit sick
Down in Georgia heat, yeah, the devil working overtime
But I’m planted on the Rock, every mountain I'ma climb
Flesh is getting weary, but the mission is divine
Trying to leave the past behind, keep my vision on the line
Every trial is a fire meant to purify the gold
I’m trusting in the Shepherd when the nights are getting cold
I carried burdens on my shoulders till my vertebrae would bend
But I traded in my sorrow for a Savior and a Friend.
[Pre-Chorus]
[Vocals get more intense, choir swells in the background]
I got Erica beside me, we a cord of three strands
Placing every broken piece into Your holy, scarred hands
When the physical is fading, it’s a spiritual attack
But we marching in the Spirit and we never looking back!
[Chorus]
[Vocals project loud, melodic but gritty street-choir style]
Right here in the middle of the storm, I stand!
Anchored by the grace of the Almighty's hand!
Winds are blowing heavy and the waters rising high
But I'm looking to the heavens, I ain't believing the lie!
You're the peace in the panic, You're the truth in the fight!
Lord, guide us through the darkness till we step into the light!
[Verse 2]
[Music strips back to just the 808 and acoustic guitar. Multisyllabic flow]
Spiritual warfare, demons creeping at the door
But we armored up daily, stepping out onto the floor
Got the shield of solid faith, word is sharper than a blade
In the trenches of this life, I will never be afraid
They can look at me and judge, think they got me figured out
But they don't see the silent prayers canceling the fear and doubt
This a heavy demolition of the generational curses
I’m burying the trauma, putting demons in the hearses
Standing on the promises, feet upon the solid stone
Even in the wilderness, I am never on my own.
[Pre-Chorus]
[Building energy, snare rolls enter]
I got Erica beside me, we a cord of three strands
Placing every broken piece into Your holy, scarred hands
When the physical is fading, it’s a spiritual attack
But we marching in the Spirit and we never looking back!
[Chorus]
[Full beat, aggressive and triumphant]
Right here in the middle of the storm, I stand!
Anchored by the grace of the Almighty's hand!
Winds are blowing heavy and the waters rising high
But I'm looking to the heavens, I ain't believing the lie!
You're the peace in the panic, You're the truth in the fight!
Lord, guide us through the darkness till we step into the light!
[Verse 3]
[Flow switches, more syncopated and rhythmic. Passionate]
Me and Erica, we marching on this narrow path as one
Reflecting on the battles and the damage that was done
But the blood of the Messiah washed the canvas completely clean
Now we stepping in the glory, brightest vision ever seen
When she’s weak, I am the pillar, when I’m broken, she's the glue
With the Savior at the center, ain't a thing we cannot do
Through the sickness, through the health, through the poverty or wealth
We ain't leaning on our own, we ain't trusting in ourself
We surrendered to the Maker, let Him operate the wheel
'Cause this love He gave to us is the only thing that's real.
[Verse 4]
[Double-time flow for the first four bars, then slowing down for emphasis]
Testimony time, let the congregation hear it loud
We eradicated fear, stepping out above the cloud
It ain't by our own power, it's the Spirit deep inside
No more running from the calling, ain't no places left to hide
Look at every single valley that He safely brought us through
When the sky was looking gray, He painted it a perfect blue.
So I’m shouting from the rooftops, giving glory to the King
In the middle of the tempest, I will lift my voice and sing!
[Bridge]
[Beat drops out completely]
Through the fire, through the flood!
We are covered by the blood!
Every chain is hitting the floor!
We ain't captives anymore!
Through the fire, through the flood!
Me and Erica, covered by the blood!
Every chain is hitting the floor!
We ain't captives anymore!
[Chorus]
Right here in the middle of the storm, I stand!
Anchored by the grace of the Almighty's hand!
Winds are blowing heavy and the waters rising high
But I'm looking to the heavens, I ain't believing the lie!
You're the peace in the panic, You're the truth in the fight!
Lord, guide us through the darkness till we step into the light!
[Outro]
Yeah.
Your the anchor, Lord.
Through every tear, through every trial.
Jesus you are our strength.
We built on the rock. The storm can keep blowing, but this house ain't falling.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
