About
This soulful track pulses with syncopated bass grooves and punchy horn accents that punctuate the emotive vocal runs and call-and-response patterns in the soaring chorus. Warm analog production captures live band energy with Hammond organ swells, gospel harmonies, and tape saturation, building to a redemptive horn solo. Raw, upfront vocals deliver spiritual resilience over a driving rhythmic low end, evoking classic Stax-era grooves.
Lyrics
One, two, three, four. Down in the shadows I called your name Lost in the night but you heard my pain I wandered blind through the endless storm Carried the weight of a broken form Sins like rivers pulled me under deep Chasing goals that I couldn't keep But a light began to pierce the dark A voice that healed this weary heart Oh, redemption set my spirit free Wash me clean in your endless sea From the ashes I rise again Hallelujah, forgiven, amen Forgiven again, forgiven, amen Chains that bound me started to break Every tear I shed you turned to grace No more hiding from the truth inside Your mercy pulled me to the other side Now the fire burns, it lights my way Turning sorrow into endless day Oh, redemption set my spirit free Wash me clean in your endless sea From the ashes I rise again Hallelujah, forgiven, amen Forgiven again, forgiven, amen When the doubt came crashing like a wave You held me close, you called me saved No turning back from this holy flame I'm yours forever, shouting your name Oh, redemption set my spirit free Wash me clean in your endless sea From the ashes I rise again Hallelujah, forgiven, amen Forgiven again, forgiven, amen Hallelujah
