Out of the Dust
BibleWithLife

[Spoken Word]
(Voice is low, breathy, and resolute--minimalist and impactful.)

"I lived in the shadows.
But He knelt in the dust.
A touch of clay...
And then... the Light."
[Verse 1]
(Cello continues. Vocals are raw and intimate. Rhyme: AABBCC)

I was born in the silence of the night
Searching for a world beyond my sight
Forgotten by the city and the crowd
A broken shadow, head forever bowed
Then I heard a footstep in the dust
The only voice that I could ever trust
[Pre-Chorus]
(Heavy kick drum enters like a driving heartbeat. Electric guitar swells begin to roar. Rhyme: AABB)

He used the earth to heal a broken man
A holy mystery, a perfect plan
"Go wash your eyes in Siloam's pool"
Within the gates where the waters cool
The moment when my eyes were opened wide
I left the darkness on the other side
(Total silence for 0.5 seconds--then a massive drum fill explodes!)

[Chorus]
(Full Arena Power. Driving drums, soaring guitars, and a massive choir. Rhyme: AABBCC)

NOW MY EYES ARE OPEN TO THE GLORY OF THE LORD!
I'M STANDING IN THE LIGHT OF THE LIVING GOD!
I was blind, but now I clearly see
The King of Light has set the prisoner free!
Out of the dust, You brought the miracle out
I'll let the darkness hear my victory shout!
[Verse 2]
(High energy continues with a heavy bass line. Focus on the testimony. Rhyme: AABBCC)

They called Him sinner, yet He made me whole
The Maker and the Healer of my soul
One thing I know, the Light has filled my eyes


I see the morning in the Eastern skies
From dust and mercy, He made a way
Turning all my midnight into day
[Bridge]
(The instruments drop to a heavy floor tom and thunderous gang vocals. Rhyme: AAAA)

I ONCE WAS BLIND!
BUT NOW I SEE!
THE SON OF GOD HAS RESCUED ME!
OUT OF THE DUST! INTO THE LIGHT!
(Explosive, high-register electric guitar solo)

[Chorus]
(Full power--maximum stadium energy and triumphant celebration)

NOW MY EYES ARE OPEN TO THE GLORY OF THE LORD!
I'M STANDING IN THE LIGHT OF THE LIVING GOD!
I was blind, but now I clearly see
The King of Light has set the prisoner free!
Out of the dust, You brought the miracle out
I'll let the darkness hear my victory shout!
[Outro]
(Sudden drop back to the sentimental cello and piano. Vocals fade to a whisper.)

I was blind...
But now I see...
Your glory shines.
(The piano ends on a final, resonant, and warm D-major chord.)
