Echoes

[Verse 1] I was just a child with a tape deck dream, Sunday mornings and midweek praise team. Mama played that Winans groove, Daddy hummed that Smallwood tune. [Pre-Chorus] Through every beat and every chord, You were speaking through their song. Teaching me to lift my hands When my strength was almost gone. [Chorus] When the music spoke, I found You! Fred's midnight hour became my breakthrough. Donnie said no weapon, and I believed. J Moss cried holy, and I was freed. [Verse 2] CeCe poured that alabaster box, Yolanda said the battle wasn't mine from the start. Kirk brought the storm, but he danced in the rain, And Commissioned had me callin' Jesus' name. [Pre-Chorus] Through every lyric, every cry, You were lifting spirits high. Teaching us to walk in grace, Before we ever knew our place. [Bridge — Spoken] This is for the ones who sang in faith — In choir robes, cassette tapes. You sang when we were too hurt to pray, And the Spirit moved anyway. Canton, Lecrae, they carried the flame. But it was Andraé who gave it its name. So I'll lift my voice with reverence loud, Standing on a gospel cloud. [Final Chorus] When the music spoke, I found You! Fred's midnight hour became my breakthrough. Donnie said no weapon, and I believed. J Moss cried holy, and I was freed. [Climactic] Holy is Your Word, and so is their sound — We're still dancing where their praise resounds! Lord, we're the echo… of that holy sound! [Outro] When the music spoke, I found You! Fred's "We're Blessed" got me through. Donnie's altar call made my tears flow. J Moss sang "Good or Bad," and I let go.
