One True Voice | The Micaiah Blues | 1 Kings 22:13–28 (WEB)

🎙️“One True Voice (The Micaiah Blues)” is a soul-deep blues song telling the story of Micaiah son of Imlah, one of the most powerful yet overlooked prophets in the Bible. He appears only briefly in 1 Kings 22 and 2 Chronicles 18, but his courage roars across generations.

In a world filled with voices eager to please kings and tickle ears, Micaiah stood alone, with nothing but truth from the throne of God. He prophesied against 400 false prophets, predicted the king’s death, and faced prison, violence, and rejection—but he did not bend.

This song captures the raw grit, spiritual fire, and lonely holiness of a man who carried God’s voice into the middle of lies, power, and politics—and left the truth echoing behind him.

🎶 Lyrics – “One True Voice (The Micaiah Blues)”
[Intro – Spoken]

They don’t sing about him in Sunday school…
No book bears his name. But he stood alone—
One man against four hundred, one truth against a lie.
And the truth didn’t blink when the king met his end...
[Verse 1 – The Weight of Silence]

Four hundred prophets, dressed in gold,
Spoke what the king paid to be told.
But one old man, with chains on his hands,
Spoke a word the kingdom couldn’t hold.

He said, “Go up, sure… if a lie’s what you need.”
But behind his eyes burned a deeper creed.
He saw thrones and angels in holy debate,
And a lying spirit sealing Ahab’s fate.
[Chorus – The Heaven-Sent Blues]

🎶 “I saw Israel scattered, like sheep on the range,
No shepherd among ‘em, just sorrow and change.”
They hit him, jailed him, tried to silence the news,
But the word walked free… in the Micaiah blues. 🎶
[Verse 2 – The Vision]

“I saw Yahweh on His throne,
And all the host of heaven standing by…”
They gathered around, high counsel divine,
And sent truth in the mouth of a man they’d deny.

Zedekiah swung, struck his cheek,
But truth don’t bleed—it just speaks.
He said, “Put me in a prison, feed me sorrow and stone—
But if the king comes back alive, God didn’t speak through my bones.”
[Bridge – Spoken Blues]

“Listen, all you people!”
He shouted through the hall.
He knew his role, he heard the call.
No prophet for hire… no voice for the crowd,
Just a soul with heaven’s thunder,
And a spine that wouldn’t bow.
[Verse 3 – When the Arrow Flew]

The battle came, just like he said,
And Ahab fell, wounded, bled.
A random arrow found its mark—
But no word of God ever flies in the dark.

While false prophets danced in their robes of show,
Micaiah sat cold, but his word still glowed.
He had no audience, no choir, no stage—
Just heaven’s truth burning inside a cage.
[Deep Chorus]

🎶 “I saw Israel scattered, no king on the throne,
And I stood in the storm, with the Lord alone.”
One voice in exile, one man refused—
That’s the gospel fire in the Micaiah blues. 🎶
[Verse 4 – The Prophet’s Soul]

He didn’t chase visions for gold or for gain,
He carried the Word like a thunder in his veins.
He didn’t crave temples, didn’t need fame—
He burned with the Name no man could tame.

God still has men like Micaiah around—
Hidden in caves, or lost in towns.
They may not be famous, may never be known,
But they shake the heavens when they walk alone.
[Final Chorus – Prophetic Thunder]

🎶 “I saw the Lord seated, His council in flight…
Truth wore no crown, but it stood in the light.”
He didn’t flinch, didn’t bend, didn’t choose
To play the crowd in the Micaiah blues. 🎶

🎶 He bore the fire that no jail could bruise…
Still echoes through time… in the Micaiah blues. 🎶
