God Remembered Rachel

Lyrics

Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC

[Chorus – Full Choir, Slow and Soulful]
God remembered Rachel
God remembered Rachel
Through the years of waiting
God remembered Rachel

When the house grew quiet
And her hope was wearing thin
The Lord heard every prayer
She could not speak again

God remembered Rachel
God remembered Rachel
The season finally turned
When God remembered Rachel

[Bridge – Warm Stacked Harmonies]
He heard her
He saw her

He knew
The weight she carried

He heard her
He saw her

Not one prayer
Was buried

The waiting was long
But the promise was living

The silence was deep
But mercy was listening

[Chorus – Rising Strings, Restrained Brass Hits]
God remembered Rachel
God remembered Rachel
He opened up the future
When God remembered Rachel

She held the answer
She once could only name

And called her son Joseph
Because the Lord removed her shame

God remembered Rachel
God remembered Rachel
What sorrow called forgotten
Heaven still remembered

[Bridge – Dynamic Choir Changes]
Long wait
Still remembered

Hidden tears
Still remembered

Quiet prayer
Still remembered

Every year
Still remembered

The Lord took notice
The Lord made room

The promise started breathing
Inside her waiting season

He remembers
He remembers

The ones who think
They've been passed over

[Repetitive Run – Slow-Burning Choir Pocket]
Remember me
Remember me

Lord
Remember me

Remember me
Remember me

Do not pass
Over me

He heard
He heard

Every quiet prayer

He saw
He saw

Every hidden tear

He came through
He came through

Right in the appointed time

He came through
He came through

And changed the whole design

Joseph
Joseph

God gave Rachel Joseph

Joseph
Joseph

Her waiting had a name

No more shame
No more shame

The Lord removed the shame

No more shame
No more shame

And gave her joy again

[Choir Run – Powerful Layered Harmonies]
Not forgotten
Not abandoned

Not ignored
Not overlooked

Not forgotten
Not abandoned

God was writing
Another chapter

He remembers
He remembers

Even when
The years keep moving

He remembers
He remembers

And His mercy
Keeps on proving

[Outro – Full Orchestra, Controlled Choir]
The waiting had stretched her
The silence had tried her

But God had never lost sight
Of the prayer inside her

Then mercy opened
What sorrow could not change

She held the answer
And Joseph was his name

God remembered Rachel
God remembered Rachel

[Final Choir Hit]
God remembered!
