Lyrics
Description
[Intro]
Bell tolls once, breath held in the nave,
A harp in the back, the choir starts to wave.
Whispered prayers like wind through the panes —
Tonight the doors are open, tonight we'll not be the same.
[Verse 1]
Joaquim said, "Every rule has an exception,"
So we gather here in this public worship session.
You walked a long road, brought a soul to the pew,
I ran to the street and called Joaquim, I told him what to do.
[Pre-Chorus]
Pastor's hand on the bell, three notes cut the air,
Sweat on the brow, breath like a prayer.
"Open all doors," he said — let mercy come in,"
Congregation leans forward, the service begins.
[Chorus]
Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand —
Choir: Give glory! Congregation: Amen!
Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand —
Feel the fire, feel the light, let Heaven begin.
[Call & Response]
Leader: Who believes God's coming to your house?
All: I believe! (Raise your hand!)
Leader: Who's been waiting for a miracle now?
All: I am! (Raise your hand!)
[Verse 2]
A neighbor brought a guest, she sat with eyes shut tight,
The pastor sang three hymns like lanterns in the night.
The choir swelled, the harp strings pulled like rain,
The bell kept time with our heartbeats, and faith drowned out the pain.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
"Before the word," he said, "come forward, let me pray,"
Twenty souls in the room — but Heaven filled the place.
A holy hand rose up and the air started to change,
The light bent over her like sunlight through chains.
[Chorus — Variation]
Raise your hand — feel the fire, feel the light,
Choir: Hallelujah! Congregation: Glory in sight!
Raise your hand — let your chains fall from your life,
Sing it louder now: this is hope, this is life.
[Bridge]
She fell to her knees, arms twisted back like thunder,
Roar of a lion — a sound that split the number.
Demons tried to hold her, but the church broke their line,
Her voice rose like a river, and the darkness lost its pride.
[Breakdown — Call & Response]
Leader: Say it now — who is God?
All: He is our healer!
Leader: Say it now — who broke the chain?
All: He did it here!
[Verse 3]
The bell swung slow, breath turned into song,
Neighbors held each other, and every doubt felt wrong.
Joaquim smiled quiet, Diácono stood near,
The pastor's eyes shone wet — we felt the kingdom here.
[Chorus — Full]
Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand —
Choir: Give glory! Congregation: Amen!
Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand —
Feel the fire, feel the light, let Heaven begin.
[Outro]
They fled away, the evil left that day,
Hallelujah filled the rafters, we could only pray.
Raise your hand, give glory, let your spirit soar,
In this public worship now and forevermore.
[Tag — Spoken]
Pastor: If the Lord moves, come forward.
Crowd (soft): Amen.
Choir (lift): Hallelujah!
