When I first heard Jonathan's song I immediately wanted to remix it! I made a bootleg first draft and sent him a clip to see what he would think. Thankfully he liked it and agreed to send me the vocal files for me to make an official remix with. I'm super happy with how it came out and grateful for the chance to work with Jonathan. I love the dude's voice, his style, and the heart for God in his lyrics.


[Intro]
It's gonna be alright
Everything will be alright.

[Verse 1]
You're my faithful friend
When I feel like I'm on my own
(On my own)
You remind my heart
It's darkest right before the dawn
(It's darkest right before the dawn)

[Chorus]
'Cause even in the dead of night
When darkness is on every side
You're telling me to lift my eyes
It's gonna be alright, alright
Suddenly a light will shine
As we're waiting for the morning light
As steady as a new sunrise
It's gonna be alright, alright

[Post-Chorus]
Arise (Arise, arise)
And shine (And shine, and shine)
Arise (Arise, arise)
And shine (And shine, and shine)

[Verse 2]
Yeah, it's hard sometimes
But I know how the story ends
(I know how the story ends, yeah yeah)
Although this night is long
On Your faithfulness I can depend
(On your faithfulness I can depend)

[Chorus]
'Cause even in the dead of night
When darkness is on every side
You're telling me to lift my eyes
It's gonna be alright, alright
Suddenly a light will shine (yeah yeah)
As we're waiting for the morning light (morning light)
As steady as a new sunrise (yeah yeah)
It's gonna be alright, alright

Even in the dead of night (even in the dead of night)
When darkness is on every side (every side)
You're telling me to lift my eyes (my eyes)
It's gonna be alright, alright (alright)
Suddenly a light will shine (yeah yeah)
As we're waiting for the morning light (yeah yeah)
As steady as a new sunrise (yeah yeah)
It's gonna be alright, alright (alright)

[Outro]
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
everything will be alright

Jonathan Ogden x Chris Howland - Alright (Remix)

DEVIL IN THE WHISKEY

I became the version of me you said you’d need…
just took a few heartbreaks…
and a couple lost years to see.
⸻

Now the house feels smaller,
the sky’s too wide to sleep.
I replay what I’d undo
if you were still with me.
⸻

You called once, on a Tuesday,
said you wouldn’t stay too long.
I laughed like it was nothing—
but it hit me when you’d gone.
Funny how the distance
turns the quiet into proof…
You moved on with your life,
I built mine around you.

(oh-oh) I keep saying I’m fine,
but I still check your name sometimes.
I keep the messages un-read,
just to feel like something’s left.
I became the man I said I’d be—
but you’re nowhere to see it end.
Guess we grow for the people
we don’t get to love again.


Kept it for the silence
where the good things fall apart.
You said you don’t remember much—
I remember too well.
Every word you ever said
still rings like a bell.
⸻

I talk like I’ve moved past it,
but I still flinch when it rains.
There’s peace in forgiving—
but it never sounds the same.
⸻

(oh-oh) I keep saying I’m fine,
but I still check your name sometimes.
I keep the messages un-read,
just to feel like something’s left.
I became the man I said I’d be—
but you’re nowhere to see it end.
Guess we grow for the people
we don’t get to love again.
⸻


Maybe this is what they mean
when they talk about letting go—
It’s not about forgetting,
it’s learning to be alone.
I still drive through that old part of town,
where every street feels like a vow.
But I’m learning now…
love doesn’t always come back around.
⸻

You were my start, not my end,
the ghost that taught me how to mend.
And maybe someday you’ll understand—
I lost you to become this man.

People we don't get to love (again)

Majesty

Majesty (Feat. Jake James)

Lord have mercy on me
All around me I see enemies rise
Set that table for me
In Your presence there is fear in their eyes

'Cos I know who I am
I know who I am

Child of a King
Warrior of faith
Most beloved daughter
Sinner made a saint

I will stand strong in the fire
I won't be burnt by the fire
I'll overcome through the fire
And I'll be singing the praise of my King

Lavished in Your mercy
Holy, holy sing the saints to Your name
A love so powerfully accepting
It rejects the hope of staying the same

'Cos I know who I am
I know who I am

Child of a King
Warrior of faith
Most beloved daughter
Sinner made a saint

I will stand strong in the fire
I won't be burnt by the fire
I'll overcome through the fire
And I'll be singing the praise of my King

'Cos I know who I am
I know who I am

Child of a King
Warrior of faith
Most beloved daughter
Sinner made a saint

I will stand strong in the fire
I won't be burnt by the fire
I'll overcome through the fire
And I'll be singing the praise of my King

Hope everyone is staying safe and feeling the peace and comfort of God. He is good, He is in control, and He cares for His children. Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you.
