Lyrics
Yeah
These ain't just prayers
They're battle cries, promises, and praise written in blood and hope
Psalms ain't poetry
It's survival
Restless Reese
Let's speak to the King
I been walkin' through the valley with the shadows on my chest
Whisperin' "Lord, I'm tired," with no strength left
My enemies circle like they smell my breath
But You lift my head high when the world feels death
I cried out at midnight with a voice so cracked
Told You everything I lost, everything I lacked
And You met me in the quiet where the fear attacked
Held me close like a Father bringin' prodigals back
Some days I'm David, some days I'm dust
Some days I'm fightin' giants, some days I bust
But even when I'm breakin' and my soul feels crushed
Your mercy hits different when I'm out of trust
When my tears hit the pages and my knees touch the floor
You turn pain into praise I ain't felt before
Every cry in the night, every locked-up door
You show up like a warrior in a spiritual war
These Psalms ain't songs, they're the pulse of my heart
They're the scars turned truth when my world fell apart
You're my refuge, my armor, my light in the dark
Yeah, You write hope in the places where I lost my spark
If the flood comes rising, You command that sea
If the night gets heavy, You still carry me
Every Psalm that I breathe is a victory plea
God, don't leave... stay close to me
Let everything that has breath lift praise in the air
'Cause You brought me through storms that should've kept me there
When the wicked drew near, when the pain felt unfair
You raised up a standard like a banner of prayer
You're my rock, my fortress, the One I call
When the roof caves in and I'm bracin' the fall
When the lies sound loud and the truth feels small
You remind me You're bigger than the fear I recall
I dance like David when the joy breaks free
'Cause You turn every sorrow to a melody
Even broken hallelujahs sound right to Thee
You catch 'em all in a jar like You're holdin' me
When the wolf comes near with deceit in his grin
When the world tries sayin' that I can't win
I remember Your promise from way back then
"You prepare a table in the presence of sin
These Psalms ain't songs, they're the pulse of my heart
They're the scars turned truth when my world fell apart
You're my refuge, my armor, my light in the dark
Yeah, You write hope in the places where I lost my spark
If the flood comes rising, You command that sea
If the night gets heavy, You still carry me
Every Psalm that I breathe is a victory plea
"God, don't leave... stay close to me
When I said, "I'm surrounded," You said, "Look again
When I whispered, "I'm lonely," You said, "I've always been
When I cried, "I'm breaking," You said, That's where you mend
When I prayed, I need healing, You said, I'll begin
My cup overflows even when I'm weak
Your rod and staff comfort the words I speak
Surely goodness and mercy gonna follow my feet
Till the day I stand home at the Shepherd's seat
I will sing to the Lord while I still got breath
Praise louder than the grave, louder than death
You turned my mourning to dance, gave my soul new depth
Now I'm runnin' through the chapters I thought were left
You're the shield of my soul, the joy in my bones
The fire in my chest when I face unknowns
Though a thousand fall near and darkness groans
I stand firm in the faith that You sit on the throne
Let the nations rage, let the mountains slide
Let the oceans roar with a violent tide
Your voice breaks storms like a battle cry wide
And I rest in the shadow of the Most High's side
These Psalms ain't songs, they're the pulse of my heart
They're the scars turned truth when my world fell apart
You're my refuge, my armor, my light in the dark
Yeah, You write hope in the places where I lost my spark
If the flood comes rising, You command that sea
If the night gets heavy, You still carry me
Every Psalm that I breathe is a victory plea
God, don't leave... stay close to me
Yeah
From the broken cries to the hallelujah highs
You never left me
Psalms ain't just pages
They're the map back to peace
Restless Reese out
Amen
