[Intro : Development — Bible verse (Psalm 23:1-2) spoken gently over pads and atmospheric textures, filtered percussion slowly entering)] (Deep Male Spoken Word) “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want... He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters.” [Verse 1: Development — minimal percussion, Reese bass subtle, analog pads. Ends on Fm9 (dark, unresolved)] I was lost where the shadows grew From the void, never breaking through Calling out, echoes lost in the haze Nothing left, maybe this is my fate At the edge of death, You lifted me Cast out doubt, gave me clarity I can’t do this on my own I trust You to break this heart of stone [Chorus: Development — full beat enters, lush synths, Fm9 adds brightness. Vocal harmonies lift “leaving the 99”] When I’ve got nothing to say, I’ll be running towards You… If You show me the way, I will follow what’s true… When I let go and pray, You will heal me in due time… Even when I’m led astray, You save me… leaving the 99 [Instrumental Break 1: Development — 303 acid bassline rises, pads expand, vocal chops echo “leaving the 99.”] [Verse 2: Development — pads warmer, vocal doubled. Ends on Fm9 instead of Fm for hopefulness] I was broken but not alone Walking with me, the seeds are sown Look around, see the bigger picture Surrounding me, the living scripture What was foreign is now part of me Disservices surrendering I put all my faith and trust in You Because this is the path I choose [Chorus: Development — same as first, but extra vocal layering on “heal me in due time.” Bass fuller, synth hook enters. Fm9 shines here] When I’ve got nothing to say, I’ll be running towards You… If You show me the way, I will follow what’s true… When I let go and pray, You will heal me in due time… Even when I’m led astray, You save me… leaving the 99 [Bridge (Prayer): Development — atmospheric, stripped down, sung softly with Fm9 sustaining. Each line ends with “walk with me.”] When everything is dark (walk with me) Help me keep this spark (walk with me) When I’m feeling weak (walk with me) Give Your strength I seek (walk with me) When I start to falter (walk with me) Bring me to the altar (walk with me) No more doubt and fear (walk with me) Through You, it’s crystal clear (walk with me) [Final Chorus: Development — full club energy, 303 bass, layered harmonies, sidechain pads. Ends soaring on Fm9 before breaking down into outro] When I’ve got nothing to say, I’ll be running towards You… If You show me the way, I will follow what’s true… When I let go and pray, You will heal me in due time… Even when I’m led astray, You save me… leaving the 99 [Outro: Development — drums filter out, pads shimmer on Fm9. Bible verse (Jeremiah 29:11) close the track, voice drenched in reverb)] (Deep Male Spoken Word): “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
