[INTRO — bright rhythmic guitar, pulsing synth, punchy drums, vocal chops] [MALE VOCAL — spoken/sung] You can hear it… You can feel it… But what happens when the Word Gets down in the dirt? [VERSE 1 — conversational rap-singing, bouncy bass] Sunday morning, Word comes down, Hits my ears, Then I walk back out. Got a heart full of plans, Got a head full of noise, Got a hundred little things Trying to steal Your voice. Sometimes the pressure comes, Sometimes the worry grows, Sometimes I let the thorns Get tangled in my soul. But You keep planting, You don't give up, You keep throwing out the seed Like Your mercy's more than enough. [PRE-CHORUS — rising drums, layered vocals] I don't wanna hear it And let it disappear, I don't wanna hold it For a minute and forget. Give me roots, Give me rain, Give me a heart That can take the weight. [CHORUS — HUGE MELODIC MALE VOCALS, STACKED HARMONIES, GANG VOCALS] MAKE ME GOOD SOIL! Let Your Word grow deep! Take root in my heart, Let it change me! MAKE ME GOOD SOIL! When the hard days come, Let me hold on, Let me not give up! I don't just wanna hear— I wanna live it out! MAKE ME GOOD SOIL! MAKE ME GOOD SOIL! [VERSE 2 — energetic rap-singing] Some seed hits the pavement, Some never gets below, Some starts growing fast Then the heat takes hold. Some get choked by the worry, By the money, By the pleasure, Trying to hold the whole world While we're reaching for forever. But You said the good soil Takes the Word and holds it, Keeps going when it's difficult, Keeps trusting when it's lonely. That's the part I need— Not another emotional high, But a faith with roots That can survive the night. [PRE-CHORUS — building] I don't wanna hear it And let it disappear, I don't wanna hold it For a minute and forget. Give me roots, Give me rain, Give me a heart That can take the weight. [CHORUS — FULL BAND] MAKE ME GOOD SOIL! Let Your Word grow deep! Take root in my heart, Let it change me! MAKE ME GOOD SOIL! When the hard days come, Let me hold on, Let me not give up! I don't just wanna hear— I wanna live it out! MAKE ME GOOD SOIL! MAKE ME GOOD SOIL! [BRIDGE — HALF-TIME BREAKDOWN, CALL AND RESPONSE] [LEAD] When I'm afraid— [GANG VOCALS] I will trust You! [LEAD] When I can't see— [GANG VOCALS] I will trust You! [LEAD] When the waiting gets long— [GANG VOCALS] I will trust You! [LEAD] When the old me says, “Just give up!” [GANG VOCALS] I will trust You! [LEAD — building] A seed goes down Before the harvest comes. Something dies So something new can rise. I'm not finished. You're not finished. [DROP] LET IT GROW! [FINAL CHORUS — HUGE, TRIUMPHANT] MAKE ME GOOD SOIL! Let Your Word grow deep! Take root in my heart, Let it change me! MAKE ME GOOD SOIL! When the hard days come, Let me hold on, Let me not give up! Through the fire, Through the waiting, Through the struggle, Through the changing— I don't just wanna hear— I wanna live it out! MAKE ME GOOD SOIL! MAKE ME GOOD SOIL! [OUTRO — gang vocals over full band] Let it grow! Let it grow! Let it grow! Word of God, Take root in me.
