🎵 Light After the Trial

[Gospel-Soul Blues (Mahalia Jackson x Al Green x Aretha blend) Tempo: Slow build to mid-tempo sway Vocal Feel: Healing, powerful, emotional with a triumphant final lift] [Verse 1] I cried through the night, felt the cold in my bones, Held on to faith when I was all alone. The weight of the world tried to pull me down, But I kept my eyes on that higher ground. [Chorus – Gentle at first] 🎶 There’s light after the trial, peace after the pain, Hope in the ashes, sunshine in the rain. I walked through the fire, but I came out whole — There's a new dawn rising in my soul. 🎶 [Verse 2] Each tear I cried watered a seed, That grew into strength when I was in need. The storm had its say, but it didn’t win, Now I rise up clean, from deep within. [Chorus – Bigger, with harmony choir] 🎶 There’s light after the trial, peace after the pain, Joy in the sorrow, strength in the strain. I faced the thunder, but I held my ground — Now the light of healing’s all around. 🎶 [Bridge – Slow and emotional, hands raised] Mmm... Trials don’t last, no they don’t define, They shape the soul, they polish the shine. I ain't who I was, I’m stronger now — Grace kissed my brow... and showed me how. [Final Chorus – Gospel strength, full band and choir] 🎶 There’s light after the trial, peace after the pain, Love in the scars, glory in the flame. I made it through, and I still stand tall — There’s light after the trial… And I’ve seen it all. 🎶 [Outro – Gentle fade with humming choir] Yes Lord… Mmm, I’ve seen it all… Light... after the trial...
