Hometown of Faith

[Intro] I wake with the dawn, palms open to grace Old streets breathe gospel in a bustling place [Verse 1] From Lagos heat to the quiet of my room, I whisper Your name Friends talk of the now, but my heart wants forever the same Mama’s prayers in Yoruba, faith stitched in every seam I carry the drumbeat of church bells like a dream [Pre-Chorus] If I stand too tall, will I be left in the shade? If I speak His truth, will love fade away? [Chorus] Jesus, You anchor me in this tide of praise and doubt I choose Your love, though the crowd might pull me out Let faith rise, let culture bow to the light I’ve found You’re my crown, You’re my hometown, Jesus, I’m found [Verse 2] Neighbors share memes, I share testimonies of grace We graft our stories on the old faith, in this modern place The friendship circle leans, but I lean into the hope I know The Spirit guides my steps wherever I go [Pre-Chorus] If I stand too tall, will I be left in the shade? If I speak His truth, will love fade away? [Chorus] Jesus, You anchor me in this tide of praise and doubt I choose Your love, though the crowd might pull me out Let faith rise, let culture bow to the light I’ve found You’re my crown, You’re my hometown, Jesus, I’m found [Bridge] In every chorus of a Sunday, in every chat on the street I hear a whisper deeper still: You’re enough for me [Chorus] Jesus, You anchor me in this tide of praise and doubt I choose Your love, though the crowd might pull me out Let faith rise, let culture bow to the light I’ve found You’re my crown, You’re my hometown, Jesus, I’m found [Outro] Found in the call, found in the names I pray Nigeria in my verses, Jesus in my way
