Praise

0:00

Praise [Intro] (Soft vocal sample playing, like a gospel choir humming… Phone recording-style vocals, raw and real.) “Even when I don’t feel it… still I stand… Even when I don’t feel it… I lift my hands…” (Fades into beat drop.) [Verse 1] (Real, Honest, Conversational Flow) Some days, I wake up feelin’ empty inside, Readin’ scriptures, but the words don’t hit my mind. Tryna worship, but my hands feel tied, Talk to God, but the prayers just echo and die. Been drownin’ in the noise, tryna hear His voice, Faith ain’t a feelin’, but I treat it like a choice. If I don’t see the blessings, do I still believe? If I don’t feel His presence, do I fall or lean? Tears on my pillow, doubts on my back, Pride in my heart, but I know I lack. I been chasin’ highs that won’t ever last, But grace ain’t based on the way I act. If the sun don’t shine and the rain don’t cease, Will I still lift my hands and drop to my knees? Ain’t ‘bout my mood, ain’t ‘bout my pride, It’s about His name, so I lift it high. [Hook] (Melodic, Strong but Emotional) “Even when I’m empty… I’ma lift my hands. Even when I don’t feel it… still I stand. Though I know, know, know… my God stays the same, I don’t gotta feel it… I get to praise His name.” (Background vocals: “Ohhh, I get to praise Him…”) [Verse 2] (More Personal, Building Toward Breakthrough) I used to only praise when the sun came up, When the prayers got answered and the doors unlocked. When the bank was full, when the pain felt light, When the storm passed through and the day felt bright. But what about the days when the sky stays grey? When the sickness hits, when the bills don’t pay? When I pray, and it feel like I’m talkin’ to air? When the weight on my chest feel too much to bear? That’s when faith talk louder than sight, That’s when praise ain’t a feeling, it’s fight. Worship ain’t tied to the way that I feel, ‘Cause God don’t change, even when pain feels real. I been low, I been lost, I been distant, I been tryna break outta this mental prison. But grace ain’t based on the things I see, So if I got breath, then that’s all I need. [Hook] (Bigger Now, Harmonies Filling the Track) “Even when I’m empty… I’ma lift my hands. Even when I don’t feel it… still I stand. Though I know, know, know… my God stays the same, I don’t gotta feel it… I get to praise His name!” (Beat drops low, just claps and soft hums.) [Bridge] (Full Gospel Energy, Choir Call & Response Feel) “I praise You, I praise You, even in the night…” (I praise You!) “I praise You, I praise You, when it don’t feel right…” (I praise You!) “I praise You, I praise You, ‘cause You never change…” (Never change!) “And if I got nothin’, I still got Your name!” (Still got Your name!) (Beat comes back in—big, soulful, powerful.) [Verse 3] (Final Verse, Energy Peaking, Confident in Faith Now) Yeah, I stepped out free, no cuffs, no case, Blood washed clean, no sin, no trace. Doubt used to speak, now it don’t got sound, God said “Go,” so I hold that down. No fear, no stress, no chains remain, I ain’t built to break, I’m built to praise. Even in the valley, I’ma lift my song, Even when it’s dark, I’ma march along. ’Cause if the sun don’t shine and the rain don’t cease, I still got a reason to drop to my knees. Ain’t ‘bout my mood, ain’t ‘bout my pride, It’s about His name, so I lift it high! [Final Hook] (Full Choir, Massive Harmonies, A True Anthem Now) “Even when I’m empty… I’ma lift my hands. Even when I don’t feel it… still I stand. Though I know, know, know… my God stays the same, I don’t gotta feel it… I get to praise His name!” [Outro] (Soft Fade, Just Claps, Soft Hum, & One Last Line) “Even when I don’t feel it… still I stand… Even when I don’t feel it… I lift my hands…” (Fades out.) @jfjesus1st @sadack @n_e_o.reborn @leonbenjamine @rapfame_official
