My Life's Blessing Is You (reggae, opera, classical) more reggae

[Intro] *(Cabasa shakes softly. Distant concert-hall clapping and cheers. Djembe enters with one-drop b**t. Kalimba melody flickers. Harp glissando. Fade-in of humming choir)* [Verse 1] (Voices: Warm, grounded male lead) Mountains stood before me, shadows deep and wide Storms would rage within me, nowhere left to hide But through the darkest valleys, a whisper soft and low Carried on the morning breeze, made the embers glow [Pre-Chorus] (Choir swells gently. Strings enter) I never walked alone, no, never left behind Your hand upon my shoulder, a compass for my mind In every little kindness, in every prayer I'd send I felt Your presence guiding, beginning without end [Chorus] (Full Choir - Majestic blend, horns accent off-beats) **MY LIFE'S BLESSING IS YOU! (Is You, Father!) Through fire and flood, You see me through! (Oh yeah!) The anchor in the tempest, the dawn breaking new! (Break free!) MY LIFE'S BLESSING IS YOU! (Hear the truth now!)** *(Female Run: "Through every trial... every mile!")* [Verse 2] (Lead voice: Stronger, with female harmony. Patois ad-libs) When trusted voices challenge, "Tek critique fi true" *(Ad-lib: "Yes, mi sista!")* If dem speak fi dem own soul, dem words pure an' new *(Ad-lib: "Hear di wisdom!")* And when yuh help di stranger, wid a open hand *(Ad-lib: "From di heart!")* Dat's a testament to who holds yuh future planned! [Pre-Chorus] (Choir & Strings build. Organ swells) You speak not just in sermons, but in the way we live In principles that prosper, the grace we freely give! What lifts the weary spirit, what makes the burden light Comes from Your endless goodness, b*****g ever bright! [Chorus] (Full Power - Brass section punches. Xylophone counter-melody) **MY LIFE'S BLESSING IS YOU! (Is You, Jah! Forever!) Through fire and flood, You see me through! (Through it all!) The anchor in the tempest, the dawn breaking new! (New mercies!) MY LIFE'S BLESSING IS YOU! (Yes, Lord!)** *(Male Run: "Blessing overflow!")* [Bridge] (Sudden quiet. Solo Soprano over Kalimba & Harp) In every gift I offer... *(Choir whispers: "Time... knowledge... care...")* I recognize the treasure... *(Choir swells: "You planted deep within!")* (Solo Tenor joins) What flows out from this vessel... *(Full Choir: "Was Your love pouring in!")* (Drums build. Trumpets herald. Strings surge) **GOD IS GOOD! (Choir: GOOD!) FOR ALL! (Choir: FOR ALL!) HIS LOVE IS THE FOUNDATION! (Choir: ROCK SOLID!) STANDING TALL! (Choir: STAND TOGETHER!)** [Instrumental Break] (Full Orchestra & Band: Epic crescendo. Reggae skank guitar, syncopated clavinet, driving bass, thunderous djembe/congas, brass fanfares, glockenspiel sparkles. Choir hums powerful melody) [Chorus] (Key Change Up! Choir soars. Operatic power. Female/Male counterpoint runs) **MY LIFE'S BLESSING IS YOU! (YOU! OHHHH!) Through fire and flood, You see me through! (Carry me higher!) The anchor in the tempest, the dawn breaking new! (Glory! Hallelujah!) MY LIFE'S BLESSING IS YOU! (IS YOU, FATHER KING!)** *(Complex Runs: "Blessing... favor... mercy... grace... unending love upon this place!")* [Outro] *(Music gradually simplifies. Returns to one-drop b**t. Choir sustains final chord "YOU..." with lush harmonies. Kalimba reprises melody. Cabasa shakes gently. Brass holds a warm, sustained note. Fade out with distant, echoing clapping and joyful shouts. Final Djembe tap.)*
