As the Dawn Broke In

[Verse 1]

Back in ‘09, I hit the bottom — lost my job, my truck, and my name

Slept behind a storefront church, holdin’ tight to my Bible in the rain

Didn’t have nothin’ but a prayer and a mustard seed of faith

But I kept talkin’ to Jesus like He was sittin’ right there in my space

[Verse 2]

Cold nights, hot tears, but I never gave up callin’ His name

Watched couples passin’ by hand in hand, while I stood alone in shame

Said, “Lord, I ain’t beggin’ for riches, just somebody to believe”

A woman that’s been through fire too — still loves, still dreams, still sees

[Chorus – Dual Voices + Gospel Choir]

 One day soon, she’s gonna find me

 I’m not the man I was — I’ve been set free

 She’ll hear the prayers I been cryin’ late at night

 And say, “Baby, I know God sent me to be your light”

 In Jesus’ name — she’s gonna find me

[Verse 3]

Met her in a church food line, wearin’ thrift shoes and a sweet smile

Said she’d been prayin’ for a man with scars that still walk the mile

We talked about faith, storms, and dreams that took hits

And she said, “If you lead in prayer, I’ll stand beside you through all of it”

[Bridge – Soulful Black Female Vocal + Choir Build]

 (She said:) “I don’t want perfect, I want real — someone who knows how to kneel”

 “Let’s pray through every valley, and praise on every hill”

 Lord, You didn’t promise comfort, but You promised presence

 And You turn broken hearts into holy weapons

[Chorus – Full Choir + Lap Steel Cryin’]

 One day soon, she’s gonna find me

 We’ll build our house on prayer and mercy

 We’ll sing before dinner, we’ll dance in the kitchen

 Turn pain into praise, and wounds into mission

In Jesus’ name — she’s gonna find me

[Outro – Spoken Word + Ad-libs + Lap Steel Solo]

 (“I’m still waitin’, Lord... but I know You’re faithful”)

 (“If she’s out there, tell her I’m prayin’... I’m ready”)

 [Lap steel weeps like a soul singin’ to heaven]

 (“One day soon... in Jesus’ mighty name…”)
