[Intro — fingerpicked acoustic, low harmonica breath] [Male, close and conversational] Morning’s hanging blue above the county line Dust on the dash and a little borrowed time [Female, soft answer] Out past the fence where the tall grass bends I can feel a mercy I can’t explain [Verse 1 — Male / Female trade] [Male] If the open sky can still stop me cold Like a hand laid gentle on a heart grown old [Female] If one green blade through a crack in the stone Can tell me I was never left alone [Male] The heavens don’t need a word to say [Female] Still they speak Your glory all day [Pre-Chorus — together, quiet] You cause the grass to rise You wake the earth with light [Chorus — duet, imperfect harmony] So let my soul come alive Like the field in the rain Let my breath be a song To Your holy name When the road gets long And the world feels wide You are God over all Let my soul come alive [Instrumental — clean electric response, pedal steel swell] [Verse 2 — Female / Male trade] [Female] I have carried the weight of a restless mind Chasing after answers I could never find [Male] Then the wind through the pines like an old refrain Says the One who made them knows my name [Female] The trees lean in, the rivers run [Male] All creation knows what You have done [Pre-Chorus — together] The fields rejoice below The skies above You show [Chorus — duet, fuller brushed drums] So let my soul come alive Like the field in the rain Let my breath be a song To Your holy name When the road gets long And the world feels wide You are God over all Let my soul come alive [Bridge — stripped back, Hammond enters] [Male] Not because the miles are easy [Female] Not because the night is gone [Male] But Your faithful love is with me [Female] And Your mercy pulls me on [Together] Every breath You give is praise Every dawn recalls Your grace [Final Chorus — restrained lift, sticks not big drums] So let my soul come alive Like the field in the rain Let my breath be a song To Your holy name Let the sky testify Let the whole earth sing You are God over all You are Lord of everything [Outro — harmonica, acoustic, duet close harmony] [Male] The blue sky says You’re near [Female] The green field says You’re here [Together, gentle] Let everything with breath Praise the Lord
