[Intro: Soft Acoustic Guitar Plucking, Warm Pink Noise & 528Hz Solfeggio Hum]
(Mmm, yeah...)
(I couldn't walk this road alone...)
(El-Sha-da-ma-le-se-i-a... bring the healing, Lord...)
(Listen close now)
[Verse 1: Intimate, Breathy Folk-Soul Delivery]
I was paralyzed by the shadows, frozen on the floor
Couldn't find the strength to even reach the open door
Carrying the heavy weight of the hurts, the habits, and the pain
Caught in a cycle of the hang-ups, standing in the rain
I tried to hide the broken pieces, tried to fake a smile
Walking through the wilderness for mile after lonely mile
But you can't heal a wound by keeping it locked up in the dark
I needed someone else's faith to reignite the spark!
(Reignite the spark, yeah!)
[Pre-Chorus: Heavy Foot-Stomps & Crisp Handclaps Build]
'Cause overcoming the struggle is never a solo ride
I needed a community to stand right by my side
To grab a corner of the mat when the weight was way too much
Bringing me out of the isolation, waiting for the touch!
[Vocal Stutter] (C-C-Carry the mat!)
We're tearing off the roof!
[Beat Drop: Explosive Stomp-Clap Rhythm & Choir Swell In]
[Chorus: Powerhouse Folk-Rock Belt & Shouting Gospel Choir]
Lower me down to the feet of the Savior! (Lower me down!)
I am surrendering my heart and my old behavior!
No more hiding in the quiet, no more living in the shame!
I'm bringing my brokenness to the glory of His name!
He looked at my friends, He saw the faith that they had shown!
And He told me, "Take up your mat and go on home!"
(Hallelujah! Take your mat!)
[Post-Chorus: Catchy Vocal Glitch & Soulful Scats]
(Take your mat, take your mat, the healing is here!)
(Ski-bi-di-bop, washing away the fear!)
(Yeah, yeah, walking in the light!)
[Verse 2: Snappy, Rhythmic Acoustic Groove]
We are bearing one another's burdens, Galatians six and two
A heart for the hurting, making all the old things new
Stepping into Celebrate Recovery, speaking out the truth
No more sweeping the trauma underneath the church's roof
We sit in the circle, we lay our heavy armor down
Trading the ashes of the past for a brand-new golden crown
I am my sister's keeper, I am holding up the line
Your healing is connected to the miracle in mine!
(Connected to mine, Lord!)
[Pre-Chorus: Heavy Foot-Stomps & Crisp Handclaps Build]
'Cause overcoming the struggle is never a solo ride
I needed a community to stand right by my side
To grab a corner of the mat when the weight was way too much
Bringing me out of the isolation, waiting for the touch!
[Vocal Stutter] (C-C-Carry the mat!)
[Chorus: Powerhouse Folk-Rock Belt & Shouting Gospel Choir]
Lower me down to the feet of the Savior! (Lower me down!)
I am surrendering my heart and my old behavior!
No more hiding in the quiet, no more living in the shame!
I'm bringing my brokenness to the glory of His name!
He looked at my friends, He saw the faith that they had shown!
And He told me, "Take up your mat and go on home!"
[Verse 3: Deep, Intimate Testimony Flow]
The very thing that used to hold me, the bed where I was trapped
Is now the testimony of the grace that over-lapped!
I carry it with me to show the world what God can do
If He can heal this broken spirit, He can heal it for you!
(He can heal it for you, hallelujah!)
[Bridge: Spontaneous Worship & Holy Ghost Fire Climax]
(Speaking in tongues: Ko-no-si-ta-ba-ra-ka-ti-yah! Heal the room!)
(Speaking in tongues: An-da-la-ma-se-te-ra-ha-ba! Break the chains!)
We are a hospital for the broken, a refuge for the weak!
We are the hands and the feet of the Savior that we seek!
(Three, two, one — drop the floor!)
[Chorus: Maximum Energy, Epic Acoustic Chords & Screaming Choir]
Lower me down to the feet of the Savior! (Lower me down!)
I am surrendering my heart and my old behavior!
No more hiding in the quiet, no more living in the shame!
I'm bringing my brokenness to the glory of His name!
He looked at my friends, He saw the faith that they had shown!
And He told me, "Take up your mat and go on home!"
[Outro: Beats Slowly Strip Back to Soft Cello & Acoustic Picking]
Grab a corner.
Tear off the roof.
Take your mat.
Celebrate the recovery.
My sanctuary is gold.
My babies are blessed.
(Mmm... yeah... take your mat)
(Speaking in tongues softly: Ya-ra-ha-ma-so-te-li-ah... amen)
