He Came to Pay a Debt by Stephen Ryder is a soul-stirring country gospel ballad that speaks to the heart of grace and redemption. With raw, emotional vocals and a stripped-down arrangement, the song tells the story of a Savior who stepped into the mess of humanity to cover a debt we could never repay. It’s a quiet, powerful reminder of love undeserved and mercy freely given—a timeless message wrapped in honest, heartfelt storytelling.

I am super proud to announce the release of my new single (Friday March 28th , 2025)
It’s a co-write with my sister Maureen and produced by the incredibly talented Jason Barry of Barrytone Studios.
I have said it before and I will say it again, I am so blessed to be able to work with him. He is a monster talent and he always pulls the best out of me!
Song Writing History: My sister and I were introduced to a tequila that’s actually blue in colour “Tarantula Azul Tequila” by a good friend in Ohio. She likes tequila and blue being her favourite colour it was an instant hit! 
During the onset of the pandemic we joked about writing a song about that tequila.
She later sent me an audio clip of her playing piano and singing a chorus. She intended it only as a joke but, the moment I heard it, I told her that’s a great song idea!
*Fun Fact: The guitar solo performed by Jason Barry is an awesome, self described 'happy accident'.

LYRICS
‘BLUE TEQUILA NIGHTS’
						
Sometimes it feels like the worlds gone insane
So much sorrow, too much pain
Trying to wrap my head around what can’t be explained
Makes a body weak and your soul drained

I look out and it’s so grey		
Think I’ll never find my way
But I’ll keep searching for sunlight
On these blue tequila nights

Can’t just talk about, what can’t wait
Too much good here, so much great
If we work as one you know it’s not too late
This is not our destiny, not our fate

Well I look out and it’s so grey
I guess I’ll never find my way		
But I’ll keep searching for sunlight
On these blue tequila nights

Days fly by, the nights grow long
Praying for a rainbow, some magic in a song
Shed another tear for all it’s worth
Pour another drink, I guess it won’t hurt

Waiting on a world of change
Have we all just lost our way

So I’ll keep searching for sunlight
On these blue tequila nights
