[Intro]
(Beat: low pulse, filtered choir)
Yeah — yeah, uh
This one’s for the midnight to morning, for the streetlight to sunrise
Leader: "Say it loud!" / Crowd: "Redeemed!"
Listen close, listen close
[Verse 1]
I was walking cross a midnight street, shoes soaked, headphones dead
Phone glow, reflection cracked like the stories in my head
Lost in the maze, paid in days, PRAYED but floated on doubt
Keys in my pocket, but the lock was rusted, hope wore out
Then a porch light flicked — like a signal from the sky
A voice cut through the static: You don't gotta do this alone tonight
You reached through the glass of my self-made room of gloom
You tore the BLACKOUT off my room — now even shadows got a name and room
(Delivery: snap on the 2 & 4, punch the internal rhymes — LOST / MAZE / PAID / DAYS)
[Pre-Chorus]
Breath hit cold air, felt the weight release
Heart learned a new map, turned a compass into peace
Call it miracle, call it mercy, call it real-time rescue
My chains clanked once — now they echo as a clue
[Chorus]
You blew the blackout off my room — LIGHT broke the gloom (CALL: "Redeemed!" / RESPONSE: "Redeemed!")
Now every shadow's got a name I no longer consume
HOOK: "REDEEMED / LIGHT" (short, punchy)
No more living on the pause — I’m breathing the proof
Oh-oh, redeemed in Your LIGHT (emphasis LIGHT)
[Verse 2]
Morning came like confession, sun pressed through blinds
I mopped yesterday’s coffee, found a Bible with my name inside
Neighbors on the stoop said, "Man, you look like new wood"
I laughed, said "I’m just a project turned to something good"
Every scar's a headline, every tear stitched into a tapestry
You sewed my edges back with mercy’s seam and mastery
From a corner store prayer to a Sunday choir seat
I’m walking pages of a story where broke things meet complete
(Delivery: quicker cadence on multisyllabic rhymes — MER-cy / MAS-tery / TA-pes-try)
[Chorus — Variant]
You blew the blackout off my room — now I'm running in the light (CALL: "Redeemed!")
Shadows keep their distance when the Savior holds my sight
HOOK: "REDEEMED / RUN" (add motion)
No more weight of night, no more hiding in the proof
Oh-oh, redeemed in Your LIGHT — now I run in that light
(Variation: raise last line an octave, stretch "light")
[Bridge — Raw / Spoken-Word Breakdown]
(Beat drops to minimal; spoken over heartbeat kick)
I spent seasons bargaining with silence — traded sleep for noise
Counted losses like currency, hid my name in broken toys
You paid for the ledger I couldn't balance, took the cost I couldn't own
Spoke my failure into forgiveness — turned my street into a throne
Leader: "Name the struggle" / Crowd (soft): "Fear, Shame, Doubt"
Leader: "Name the answer" / Crowd: "JESUS"
(Delivery: speak-rap, clipped, then rising to a shout)
[Rap Bridge — compact]
Night—bites, I once flinched from light
Fist-clench, midnight fights, cold sheets, empty nights
You stepped in, hands open, no bargain, no fine print
Pulled my story from the gutter, taped gold where the seams split
(Internal rhyme: NI
