[Intro] [Gentle fingerstyle acoustic guitar, intimate, 74 bpm] [Verse 1] [Warm storytelling male vocals, delicate fingerpicking] God woke me up one morning light Felt His mercy shining bright The door swung open, chains were gone He said, "Son, it's time to carry on" Then I ran to the love of my life Already my heart, already my wife All those years He was setting the stage For a better man to turn the page [Chorus] [Dynamic lift, open acoustic guitar strumming, heartfelt emotion] Child after child, now comes three Girl, boy, then girl, all blessings to me Little hands and innocent eyes Proof that heaven hears our cries From a cell to a family home Never again will I walk alone Every laugh and every tear Reminds me God is always here [Instrumental Break] [Melodic acoustic guitar fill, ringing open strings] [Verse 2] [Tender vocal delivery, steady acoustic pulse] Our family is the truth we see In every moment God gives me From chains to love, from lost to light He's been there through the fight [Chorus] [Full open chords, emotional swell, rich resonance] Child after child, now comes three Girl, boy, then girl, all blessings to me Little hands and innocent eyes Proof that heaven hears our cries From a cell to a family home Never again will I walk alone Every laugh and every tear Reminds me God is always here [Outro] [Passionate vocal delivery, acoustic strumming building then slowing] Yeah, I've been in chains, but now I'm free With her beside me and my three And I'll thank the Lord eternally 'Cause His grace wrote this song in me [Outro Solo] [Slow acoustic guitar fingerpicking arpeggios] [End] [Single final acoustic G chord rings out, natural decay]
