[Intro: Fingerpicked Acoustic Guitar, Cello Swell & 528Hz Pink Noise]
(Mmm, yeah...)
(Clear the room, clear the mind...)
(That wasn’t Him talking to me...)
(No, that was just the enemy trying to keep me small.)
(Listen close.)
[Verse 1: Intimate, Conversational Alto Flow]
I woke up today thinking of your face
Watching old shadows fade away from my space
Those familiar doubts started creeping inside my head
Telling me I’m not enough, echoing the words they said
Telling me I keep on messing up, running out of grace
Trying to lock me down in that anxious, lonely place
(Stutter: N-not today, no, n-not today!)
Then the Holy Spirit broke through the noise and the lies
Showed me the deception right before my eyes
That’s not my Father whispering over my soul
That’s the enemy trying to break what God made whole!
(Yeah, I hear the truth now!)
[Pre-Chorus: Tom Stomps, Warm Snaps & Rising Organ Swell]
Something told me reach right out to you
Remind your heavy heart that you’re more than enough too
Maybe you’ve been wrestling those same shadows in the night
Trying to walk by faith and step into the light!
(Listen to that voice!)
That still small whisper leading me through the rain
Protecting my steps, washing off the pain!
(Get ready for the shift!)
[Chorus: Heavy 808 Beat Drop, Full Soulful Belt & Gospel Backing Choir]
I’m safe in the peace, I am never second choice!
(Never second choice!)
Standing in the promise, rising in my voice!
Ever since the day we met, the calm settled in
Divine intervention where the healing begins!
He didn’t bring this peace just to leave it in the dust
I’m walking away from what I cannot trust!
You saw my heart, you held the line
Somehow I knew it from day one, you were meant to be mine!
(Yeah, meant to be mine!)
[Post-Chorus: Jazz-Infused Vocal Scats & Rhythmic Harmonies]
(Ba-da-doo, da-da-va-lee, yeah)
(Doo-ba-da, safe and seen!)
(Yeah, you made me feel seen!)
[Verse 2: Gritty, Rhythmic R&B Storytelling]
A few weeks back I thought I made a wrong turn
Thought another chance was a lesson I had to learn
Giving my time to someone caught in a spin
Hoping for a spark where a fire never been
Stood up in the quiet, watching plans fall apart
Left on the back burner of a distracted heart
Chasing down his errands while I’m standing in the cold
Treating my devotion like it’s something to be sold
(Stutter: S-second choice? Never again!)
I drew the line, turned around and walked away
’Cause God had something better for my brand new day!
(Walked right out the door!)
[Pre-Chorus: Finger Snaps, Swelling Cello & Driving Kick]
And right in that moment, you stepped in the room
Bringing in the sunshine, clearing out the gloom
You didn’t overlook me, you didn’t pass me by
You looked into my spirit and you looked me in the eye!
(You told me...)
You told me you would keep me safe through the night
Exactly what my spirit needed to hear to take flight!
(Take flight now!)
[Chorus: Heavy 808 Trap-Soul Groove & Choir Harmonies]
I’m safe in the peace, I am never second choice!
(Never second choice!)
Standing in the promise, rising in my voice!
Ever since the day we met, the calm settled in
Divine intervention where the healing begins!
He didn’t bring this peace just to leave it in the dust
I’m walking away from what I cannot trust!
You saw my heart, you held the line
Somehow I knew it from day one, you were meant to be mine!
(Yeah, meant to be mine!)
[Bridge: Stripped-Back Grand Piano, Acapella Drop & Varied Spirit-Led Worship]
[Spontaneous Spirit-Led Vocal Worship]
(El-sheba, ro-hai, va-na-tai...)
(Ka-le-ba-so, di-ri-ya, amen...)
[Vocal Stutter Hook]
(K-keep me, keep me safe...)
I’m not talking to nobody else, my hands are in the air
God answered every midnight, brokenhearted prayer
No more confusion, no more games to decode
Just holy alignment on this quiet, sacred road!
(Shout it to the rafters now!)
[Chorus: Explosive Full-Force Drop, High Belting Alto & Mass Choir]
I’m safe in the peace, I am never second choice!
(Never second choice!)
Standing in the promise, rising in my voice!
Ever since the day we met, the calm settled in
Divine intervention where the healing begins!
He didn’t bring this peace just to leave it in the dust
I’m walking away from what I cannot trust!
You saw my heart, you held the line
Somehow I knew it from day one, you were meant to be mine!
(Meant to be mine, yeah!)
[Outro: Beats Fade to Warm Fingerpicked Guitar, Gentle Snaps & Rain Effects]
Woke up thinking of you...
Mind is clear.
Spirit is still.
Safe and protected.
Never second choice.
(Mmm... divine intervention... yeah)
(Meant for me.)
[Fade Out]
