Jesus Woke Me Up
rap, Modern Christian rap with warm keys, subby low-end, and tight trap hats; intimate male vocals up close in the verses, hook explodes with layered gang-style shouts and airy pads. Start sparse around a filtered piano loop, then gradually widen the mix with choir textures and uplifting strings after the accident moment, ending in a big, triumphant final chorus with extra ad-libs and drops.

Lyrics
Verse 1
He was talkin' 'bout grace, I was scrollin' my phone
He was talkin' 'bout hope, I said "bro, I'm grown"
Told me, "Jesus took nails just to set you free"
I shrugged like, "cool story, that ain't for me"
Laughin' at the verses he would quote at lunch
Heart hard as the pavement that I drove on, bruh
Said I'm doin' just fine, I don't need that help
Blind to the cliff that I built myself
Chorus
But You woke me up
I was layin' in the dark, couldn't move, couldn't speak, then I felt Your touch
Now I'm shoutin' Your name
From the hospital bed to the hallway, tell ‘em God still reigns
Yeah, You woke me up
Took breath from my lungs, then You filled 'em with a brand-new love
Now I'm liftin' my hands
I was runnin' from the cross, now I run to the Lamb (yeah)
Verse 2
One night, tired eyes, but I hit that road
Red lights, rain drops on the cracked windshield
Headlights swervin', then the world turned slow
Metal bent, glass flew, couldn't tell what's real
Sirens in the distance, I was fade, fade, fading
Thought I heard my mama and my boy both praying
All the jokes that I made came back on replay
"God, if You're real, don't let me die this way"
Woke up to a ceiling and a bright white room
Tubes in my arms, said I'm lucky I moved
Friend by my side with a tear on his face
Said, "Bro, they said you shouldn't even be awake"
Chorus
But You woke me up
I was layin' in the dark, couldn't move, couldn't speak, then I felt Your touch
Now I'm shoutin' Your name
From the hospital bed to the hallway, tell ‘em God still reigns
Yeah, You woke me up
Took breath from my lungs, then You filled 'em with a brand-new love
Now I'm liftin' my hands
I was runnin' from the cross, now I run to the Lamb (hey)
Bridge
I doubted every word till the crash hit
Faith seemed fake till the fact is
I should've been gone on that black strip
Now I’m standin' here, that’s a classic
Only You, only You could've carried me through
From the wreck to the room, from the fear to the truth
Now I praise in advance for the things that You’ll do
If You did it for me, He can do it for you (for you)
Chorus
'Cause You woke me up
I was layin' in the dark, couldn't move, couldn't speak, then I felt Your touch
Now I'm shoutin' Your name
From the hospital bed to the hallway, tell ‘em God still reigns
Yeah, You woke me up
Turned all of my doubt into fire and a fearless trust
Now I'm liftin' my hands
I was runnin' from the cross, now I run to the Lamb (yeah)
Now I'm liftin' my voice
Every breath that I breathe sayin', "Jesus, my choice"
