Opening
Ahhh
Mm
Verse I
Before the word is fully spoken
Before the meaning finds its name
There is a sound that holds us steady
There is a chord that stays the same
Not loud with force or sharp ambition
Not thin with haste or need to prove
A human voice still choosing kindness
A deeper truth still breaking through
Verse II
We do not sing for recognition
We do not raise our voice for gain
We sing because the heart remembers
What it has lost and seeks again
Every tone is held with purpose
Every breath is meant to stay
This is love made audible
This is time we do not waste
Verse III
Love does not rush the moment
Love waits for us to hear
If you are tired stay among us
If you are wounded breathe in here
Not perfected not corrected
Not explained and turned away
But gathered into listening
Where love is free to stay
Verse IV
If the world has grown efficient
Speaking only shortened lines
We will answer with attention
We will take the longer time
We will bless without condition
We will speak the warmer word
For a love that’s never spoken
Is a song that’s never heard
Bridge
Stay
This matters
Hear
Remain
Final Verse
This is Chord Stream flowing through us
Not a signal not a name
This is love made fully present
In the quiet and the brave
Every voice a shared devotion
Every heart a chosen part
This is sound with consecration
This is listening with heart
Coda
Ahhh
It flows
It holds
It stays
