I Had a Praise Break on The Highway

V5

⸻ “I Had a Praise Break on the Highway” (Urban / Traditional Gospel Crossover) ⸻ INTRO (Spoken – Soft, Testifying) Yeah… I wasn’t in the sanctuary… Wasn’t on the altar… I was just tryin’ to make it home. But God had other plans. ⸻ VERSE 1 Hands on the wheel, tears in my eyes Bills on my mind, prayers in disguise Radio low, heart talking loud Didn’t know help was that close around Traffic moving, but my soul was stuck Car full of stress, tank running on hope and trust I whispered, “Lord, I can’t take no more” That’s when heaven filled my four-door. ⸻ PRE-CHORUS Right there between Exit 23 and Grace The Holy Ghost met me in that space Didn’t pull over, didn’t slow down But joy hit me like I lost my mind! ⸻ CHORUS I had a praise break on the highway! Still drivin’, but my soul caught fire Windows down, tears fallin’ Hands lifted—one on the steering wheel I had a praise break on the highway! Didn’t need no choir, didn’t need no stage Cars passin’, but I was free God showed up ridin’ shotgun with me! ⸻ VERSE 2 Hazard lights flashin’, spirit shoutin’ People lookin’ like, “What she doin’?” Laughin’ and cryin’ at the same time When you know God brought you through—YOU DON’T STAY QUIET! I remember nights I almost quit Times I prayed and saw no benefit But right there in lane number three God reminded me of every victory. ⸻ PRE-CHORUS (Repeat – Build) Right there between stress and relief Between fear and belief I started clappin’ in the driver seat Had to praise Him before I reached my street! ⸻ CHORUS (Bigger) I had a praise break on the highway! Hands clappin’, head noddin’, shoutin’ “YES!” Didn’t care who was watchin’ me I made it through—this ain’t no accident! I had a praise break on the highway! He kept me when I couldn’t keep myself If you don’t understand my shout You don’t know what He pulled me out! ⸻ BRIDGE (Vamp – Praise Break Section) (Repeat, build, repeat) He kept me! While I was drivin’! He saved me! While I was movin’! He healed me! Between exits! He spoke to me! In my car! I didn’t crash— I PRAISED! I didn’t stop— I SHOUTED! I didn’t break down— I BROKE THROUGH! ⸻ PRAISE BREAK (Traditional / Shout Feel) (Call & Response) Leader: If He ever brought you through— Choir/Crowd: PRAISE HIM IN THE CAR! Leader: If He ever made a way— Choir/Crowd: PRAISE HIM IN THE CAR! Leader: You don’t need a building— ALL: WHEREVER YOU ARE! ⸻ MODULATION (Key Change ⬆️) ⸻ FINAL CHORUS I had a praise break on the highway! Still made it home safe that night Devil tried, but God prevailed That praise kept me in my lane—ALRIGHT! I had a praise break on the highway! And I’ll shout it till my last day If He meets me in my mess He can meet you on the way! ⸻ OUTRO (Soft, Reflective) So if you see me shoutin’ at the red light… Or cryin’ while I drive… Just know— God met me on the highway. Amen.
