Psalms in my Soul (Rock) (Remix)

[INTRO – SPOKEN / CLEAN GUITAR] Yeah… When the road gets dark, I know who walks beside me. When the whole world says “run,” I hear Heaven say, “STAND.” This one's for the ones still holding on. [HEAVY GUITAR RIFF] [VERSE 1 – GRITTY COUNTRY RAP] Dust on my boots, got a Bible in the truck, Life tried to break me, but I'm still standing up. Been down in the valley, been lost in the night, But the Shepherd found me and led me to the light. Psalm 23, He's guiding my way, Green pastures ahead when I'm stuck in the gray. Though I walk through the valley where shadows run deep, I ain't scared of the darkness—my Shepherd's with me. Rod and His staff, yeah, they comfort my soul, When the devil comes knocking, Jesus stays in control. Table in the presence of the ones wishing me harm, Anointed with oil, got Heaven on my arm. [PRE-CHORUS – BUILDING] When the darkness comes crawling, When the night gets cold, I've got fire in my chest And a Savior for my soul. [CHORUS – HUGE COUNTRY METAL] THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD— I AIN'T GONNA FEAR! When the whole world gets dark, I know God is near. ROCK OF MY SALVATION, FORTRESS WHEN I FALL! If God is on my side, I AIN'T SCARED AT ALL! Through the fire, through the rain, Through the dust and the pain, I lift my eyes to the hills And I call on His name. From the bottom of the valley To the top of that ridge, I GOT PSALMS IN MY SOUL— AND MY FAITH WON'T SLIP! [VERSE 2 – FAST RAP / HEAVY RIFF] Psalm 27—The Lord is my light, So I walk through the darkness with my head held high. Whom shall I fear when the enemy's near? God's got my back, so I ain't living in fear. Psalm 91, under His wings I hide, Shadow of the Almighty standing by my side. A thousand may fall, ten thousand may fade, But I trust in the Lord and the covenant He made. Psalm 34 says He's close to the broken, When you can't find the words, Heaven still hears you spoken. Taste and see that the Lord is good, He'll lift up a man when nobody else would. [PRE-CHORUS – QUIET] When my knees hit the ground, I know where I'm found. Ain't gotta understand it— I JUST TRUST HIM NOW. [CHORUS – BIGGER] THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD— I AIN'T GONNA FEAR! When the whole world gets dark, I know God is near. ROCK OF MY SALVATION, FORTRESS WHEN I FALL! If God is on my side, I AIN'T SCARED AT ALL! Through the fire, through the rain, Through the dust and the pain, I lift my eyes to the hills And I call on His name. I GOT PSALMS IN MY SOUL— AND MY FAITH WON'T SLIP! [GUITAR SOLO – 40 SECONDS] Country bends → slide guitar → screaming distorted lead → fast metal run → massive sustained note. [BRIDGE – GOSPEL / GRUNGE BUILD] I cried out—He heard me. I was lost—He found me. I was weak—He strengthened me. I was down—He raised me. My enemies came like a flood, But mercy came rushing like blood. I put my trust in the One above, The King of kings and the God of love. [BREAKDOWN – HEAVY METAL] WHEN I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY— I WILL NOT FEAR! WHEN THE ENEMY COMES— MY GOD IS HERE! WHEN THE WORLD SAYS FALL— I WILL STAND! WHEN THE DEVIL COMES KNOCKING— I KNOW WHO'S GOT THE PLAN! JESUS! [VERSE 3 – SOUTHERN STORYTELLING] If you see me riding down an old dirt road, Windows down, thanking God for every mile I go, There's a cross on my dash and a prayer in my heart, And I know the Lord was with me right from the start. I've buried some dreams, I've carried some scars, I've prayed underneath these Kansas stars. Every hard season taught me something brand new— God never left me when I thought He was through. Psalm 121—my help comes from the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth, that's the promise I hold. Whatever comes knocking, whatever tomorrow brings, I'm standing on the Rock underneath the King's wings. [FINAL CHORUS – FULL BAND + CHOIR] THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD— I AIN'T GONNA FEAR! When the whole world gets dark, I KNOW GOD IS NEAR! ROCK OF MY SALVATION, FORTRESS WHEN I FALL! If God is on my side, I AIN'T SCARED AT ALL! Through the fire, through the rain, Through the dust and the pain, I lift my eyes to the hills And I call on His name! I GOT PSALMS IN MY SOUL! MY FAITH WON'T SLIP! MY FAITH DON'T— SLIIIIIP! [FINAL SOLO – EPIC] (Southern slide guitar harmonizes with screaming metal lead.) [OUTRO – SPOKEN] When I walk through the valley… I DON'T WALK ALONE. When I'm surrounded… I'M STILL PROTECTED (Final crushing guitar chord fades into feedback.)
