Now I See

[Intro]

Ok New Orleans,

Are yall enjoying yourselfs?

Let’s slow it down a bit.

[Verse 1 – Beyoncé] (Soft piano intro, airy pads, deep reverb on vocals…)

I was walkin’ through the valley,

Didn’t know which way to go,

Every step was gettin’ heavy,

Felt like I was all alone…

I was searchin’ for the answers,

But my heart was full of doubt,

Then You whispered in the silence,

(Choir echoes, reverb-heavy: “Child, I never let you out…”)

[Pre-Chorus – Lead & Choir] (Strings swell, heartbeat drums enter…)

(Lead): I was blind, but now I see…

(Choir echoes): Now I see, now I see…

(Lead): I was lost, You rescued me…

(Choir echoes): Rescued me, rescued me…

(Lead): You broke my chains, set me free!

(Choir, full harmony, powerful reverb): Now I’m free, now I’m free!

[Chorus – Lead & Choir] (Full band kicks in, bass drops, claps build up!)

(Lead, soaring):

Now I see Your light, shining bright, pulling me close!

Now I feel Your love, lifting me up, won’t let me go!

No more fear, no more pain, I’m standing strong in Jesus’ name!

Now I see, now I see! (Choir echoes: “Now I see!”)

[Verse 2 – Lead] (Beat drops out, intimate moment, soft piano & organ…)

I remember all the nights I cried,

Trapped inside my foolish pride,

But mercy called, grace reached out,

Now I know what love’s about…

[Bridge – Breakdown, Call & Response] (Choir claps in rhythm, stomps, deep reverb harmonies!)

(Lead, emotional, ad-libbing):

Ohhh, You never let me go! (Choir echoes: “Never let me go!”)

Ohhh, You saved my soul! (Choir echoes: “Saved my soul!”)

Ohhh, now I know! (Choir echoes: “Now I know!”)

(Lead, belting with power!):

I once was lost, but! (Choir echoes: “Now I’m found!”)

I once was blind, but! (Choir echoes: “Look at me now!”)

I once was broken, but! (Choir echoes: “I’m restored!”)

Jesus, You’re the key, You opened the door!

(Beat comes back, choir harmonizes “Ooooooh” in deep reverb, swelling!)
