All These Words

"Love and the Leaving" is an intimate journey through love, regret, and the unraveling of a life once shared. Told in raw, emotional melodies, the album moves through the highs of connection to the slow erosion of a marriage, the weight of betrayal, and the finality of loss. With haunting acoustic and piano-driven ballads, deep vocals, and intricate guitar work, each song is a chapter—pulling you deeper into the beauty and sorrow of memories that refuse to fade. A record for anyone who’s loved, lost, and still carries the echoes of what was.

Let Me Be Better Than I Was – A Song for the Heart That Still Hopes

Warm, honest, and quietly powerful, this song blends heartfelt lyrics with a soul-stirring melody that feels both intimate and uplifting. The gentle acoustic instrumentation carries a confessional tone, while the vocals deliver raw emotion without pretence—just a sincere desire to change, grow, and walk closer with Jehovah.

This is a prayer set to music. Whether you’re at a crossroads or simply trying to walk a little closer to your values, this song is a companion for reflection. It reminds us that progress doesn’t require perfection—just humility, trust, and a willingness to try again.

Listen when your heart feels heavy or hopeful. Let it lift you one step closer to who you’re meant to be.

====[ LYRICS ]====

[Verse 1]
I’ve worn my flaws like second skin
Hid what I felt, kept it locked within  
But I’m tired of shadows, tired of shame  
I need your light to show me the way  

I spoke like I had all the answers
But silence was my only prayer  
Now I kneel, heart laid bare—  
Jehovah, are you there?  

[Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Not just stronger, but guided by love  
Not just calm, but trusting your plan  
Not just kind, but shaped by your hand  
You see the heart beneath the scars  
Let me be better—just as I am  

[Verse 2]
I’ve wandered roads that led me home
To where your voice is soft but known  
When I was numb, still you were near  
Your mercy louder than my fear  

I’ve read your word through weary eyes
Each verse a whisper, a call to rise  
So here I am, not proud, just true—  
I want to walk each step with you  

[Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Less of my will, more of your cause  
Let me reflect what patience can be  
Show your compassion working in me  
You see the soul I’ve tried to guard  
Let me be better—Jehovah, my God  

[Bridge]
I won’t pretend I haven’t strayed
But you forgive when I’ve confessed and prayed  
No crown, no worth of my own to boast  
Just grace enough to hold you close  

[Final Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Lifted by undeserved love  
Let every failure become my prayer  
Every tear, a step toward care  
You’re not done with me—this I trust  
Let me be better than I was

Let Me Be Better Than I Was

I'll take you to a place where everybody knows your name

You Are Enough is a gentle, heartfelt ballad offering comfort and reassurance to anyone feeling overwhelmed or broken. With soft, whispered vocals and a soothing melody, the song invites listeners to pause, breathe, and remember that they are enough just as they are, even in their darkest moments. It's a tender reminder that strength isn't about holding everything together, but about allowing yourself to rest and be loved exactly where you are.

You are enough

Little Light

Now is the time to stand with loss,
The warmth of summer lives only in dreams.
The oak stands bare, the earth is cold,
I stand at the far edge of the dark.

My eyes are wet with the tears of time,
The sun is hidden, the sky is black.
The world turns slowly into shadow,
The light feels distant, the night feels vast.

Let the darkness enter heart and mind,
For only from darkness does light arise.
When I loosen my hold on what is gone,
A quiet ember starts to breathe.

Out of the longest night,
Out of the deepest dark,
A quiet flame is born again,
A still small light, a living spark.

The light is reborn upon the Earth,
As it is reborn inside my soul.
A new fire moves within this circle,
And loss gives birth to light.
