Verse 1

Heavenly Father, may your Holy name be lifted high in all the Earth
Heavenly Father, let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in all the Earth

Heavenly Father, wash away our sins and make us Holy in Your eyes
Heavenly Father, guide our hearts and minds and keep us hidden in Your love

Heavenly Father (feat. Frank Hart)

A song I wrote back in 1998, then recorded again in 2021 for the "Reimagined" album.  I always wanted to get female vocals on it...so...I finally found someone that could sing it the way I wanted.  Also amped up the music a little more to make it a little more intense.

My Life
Words: Renè Hart    Music: Gregg Hart

Every day as I awake, and You give the sun its shine.
My mind is reminded of my fate, if You hadn't cared to take the time.

PRE-CHORUS
To craft a plan to save the world
to love enough, You came to die
to die for me so I would have
My life...

In my mind I do believe, in my heart I have received.
And in my life you know what is best. I must learn to trust You with the rest.
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
…was given to me
Without You I wouldn't be
My life was given to me
Without Love it wouldn't be
My life was given to me
Without You I wouldn't be
My life was given to me
Without Love it wouldn't be

BRIDGE
Some choose life...Some take life...Some ignore life,
But there is only One Who can give life! (Who can give life)

My life is worth so much more, knowing I am part of Your plan
Christ's blood covers my sin through the core; a final masterpiece from His hand.

REPEAT CHORUS

Reimagined Revoiced

My Life - Revoiced

This is a song by friend Robert Davenport wrote.  I performed all the instruments, programming, recording, producing, mixing and arrangement.

Forgiveness Road

A hybrid rock / metal song based on an old testament parable found in 2 Samuel 12:1-25  

The Parable
Gregg Hart
2024 Midiboy Music

You told me about a man that was up to no good
When he moved into the town, there went the neighborhood
He stole from other people so that he could have more
He became the man that everyone abhorred

I can't believe it
Why would he do this?
I just don't get it
As sure as God lives
This man deserves to die, let him die

He is a liar, he's a cheat, he needs to pay them back
He needs to fix what he has done and get back on track
You try to convince me that he must not understand
The nature of the crimes committed by his hands

I can't believe it
Why would he do this?
I just don't get it
As sure as God lives
This man deserves to die, let him die
Let him die
Let him die
Let him die

There were two men in the city one was rich one was poor
The poor man had a lamb, the rich had many more
The rich man made his dinner; didn't want to use his own
So he took the poor man's lamb and left him all alone

I can't believe it
Why would he do this?
Ooh I just don't get it
I do not understand
I can't believe it
Why would he do this?
What are you telling me?
What did you mean when you looked at me and said "You are that man."
Am I that man? You are that man!
I do not understand.  What are you telling me? What did you mean when you looked at me and said “You are that man?”

Calm The Storm

The Parable

A hybrid rock ballad, if you will.  The hook in this song is one of my favorites!

You Know Me Better Than I
©Midiboy Music 2024
Words / Music by Gregg Hart

Sometimes I don’t like what You say to me
Sometimes I don’t like what You want me to hear
Even though You know what’s best for me
It’s not like I have anything to fear
And yet sometimes I act like I don’t need You
Sometimes I pretend that I am just fine
But You know the truth about that too
Because You know this here heart of mine

You know me better than I
You know me better than I
You know me you know me you know me know me know me better
You know me you know me you know me know me better.

When will I learn to always trust Your words?
When will I decide to do just what You say?
Instead of pretending that You were not heard
Instead of asking if I can meet You halfway
And then sometimes I act like I don’t need You
Sometimes I pretend that I am just fine
But You know the truth about that too
Because You know this here heart of mine

You know me better than I
You know me better than I
Cuz You know me better than I
I said You know me better than I
You know me you know me you know me know me know me better
You know me you know me you know me know me better.
Cuz You know me better than I
I said You know me better than I

You know me you know me you know me know me know me better (Cuz I said You know me better than I)
You know me you know me you know me know me better. (Yes I said You know me better than I)

You know me you know me you know me know me know me better (Cuz I said You know me better than I)
You know me you know me you know me know me better. (Yes I said You know me better than I)

It’s time that I start listening to You
Even if it’s not what I wanted to hear
Because I know You know what’s best for me
I know I don’t have anything to fear. 
Cuz You know me better than I
I said You know me better than I

You Know Me Better Than I

I wrote these lyrics 25 or so years ago and kind of forgot about them.  Just found them a few days ago and finally put them to music.  I mean to give it more of an Industrial Rock sound, but the more I tried, the more grunge it got...which is fine.  I LOVE how this one turned out.  Super catchy melody!

Someone Like You
Gregg Hart ©2024 Midiboy Music

I thank my God every time I remember you
For you have taught me an important thing or two
You told me who I should trust
And who I should avoid as a must
This is why I thank God for you.
Don’t know where I’d be if it wasn’t for you.

CHORUS
If there’s one thing I’m glad I learned from you
It’s how to pick a friend that can be so true
Next time I decide to trust someone new
I hope it’s not someone like you!

I can’t believe I missed all the clues
How did I believe that you were so true
As you talked about others and played your games
Then when I’m not around, you do the same
This is why I thank God for you.
But, I’ll be better off for now without you

REPEAT CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL
REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
From this point on, I will decide who to trust
Excuse me for having to be so blunt,
Next time I decide to trust someone new
I pray it’s not someone like you!

I can’t believe I missed all the clues
How did I believe that you were so true
As you talked about others and played your games
Then when I’m not around, you do the same

REPEAT CHORUS

I hope it’s not someone like you
I hope it’s not someone like you
I hope it’s not someone like you


Someone Like You

An updated version of a song from the first album by "The Impossible Nothing."  New singer.  Updated music.

Sitting On A Hill
Gregg Hart
©2024 Midiboy Music
You might believe we’re on the brink of demise
Black is white, God’s word seems compromised
You’re core beliefs are challenged every day
Nobody cares about anything you say

So you’re sitting on a hill, waiting for God to destroy it all
Sitting on a hill, You’ve done your part, you’ve heard His call
Sitting on a hill, the end will come, their time is near
Sitting on a hill, wondering why they’re still here

God told you to preach, so you tell them they’re doomed
So you’ve done your part, they’ll be consumed
Now you sit and wait; God will destroy it all
Yes, see them there, just waiting to fall

While you’re sitting on a hill, waiting for God to destroy it all
Sitting on a hill, You’ve done your part, you’ve heard His call
Sitting on a hill, the end will come, their time is near
Sitting on a hill, wondering why they’re still here

But what about grace?
What about their souls?
You’re waiting for God
To accomplish your goals
Let God be God
And you be you
He’ll do what He wills
Not what you would do 
(4x)

Try sitting on a hill, praying that God will save them now
Sitting on that hill, asking Him to show you how
To walk down from that hill, sharing His love, answering His Call
Remembering the hill, where He sacrificed and gave us His all
(2x)


Sitting On A Hill

A Promise Made

Once upon a time there was a little boy
Who wanted nothing more in this world
To wake up in the morning and see his mom and dad together
But one day instead of his perfect dream
He woke up as he heard his mother cry
Son, she said, dad has left for good now.

All the boy wanted was something that
Not even his very best friend had
A mom and dad that still lived together.
He didn’t think it was too much to ask
Why did he leave, why didn’t it last?
What could he have done to make it better?

CHORUS
Who is going to take me to the zoo?  
Who is going to teach me to play baseball?
Who will be there when I learn to ride a bike? Yeah
Who will be there to catch me when I fall?
Who is gonna be there to laugh at my jokes?
Who is gonna to help me out with my math?
Who will show me how to put on a tie?
Who is going to be there when I need a dad?

The boy asked his mom if it was all his fault?
Did I do something wrong to make daddy leave?
Did he get mad at me because I left all my toys out?
Mom just looked at him and cried and said
No, my love, it was not you at all
Just remember no matter what he’ll always love you

CHORUS
Who is going to take me to the zoo?  
Who is going to teach me to play baseball?
Who will be there when I learn to ride a bike? Oh yeah!
Who will be there to catch me when I fall?
Who is gonna be there to laugh at my jokes?
Who is gonna to help me out with my math when it doesn’t add up?
Who will show me how to put on a tie?
Who is going to be there when I need a dad?

BRIDGE
It made no sense to him at all
How could a man just leave it all behind?
Isn’t family something we all need to have?
BRIDGE 2
The boy made a promise when he grows up
He will be there no matter what
And when he has a son, he will be able to say…

2nd CHORUS
I will be there to take you to the zoo
I will be there to teach you to play ball
I will be there when you learn to ride a bike
I will be there to catch you when you fall
I will be there to laugh at your jokes
I will be there to help you with your math
I will show you the best that I can
Just what it means to be a dad




A Promise Made

Bring Out Your Dead
Lyrics: Wayne Cyr 
Music: Gregg Hart

(Verse 1)
The earth groans with the weight of the fallen, 
Shadows linger where the light once shone. 
The cries of the broken rise like a storm, 
Calling out to the heavens for justice, for peace.

(Chorus)
Bring out your dead, let their voices be heard. 
Their lives were not lost in vain, 
For in the ashes, new life will rise. 
Bring out your dead

(Verse 2)
The rivers run red with forgotten dreams, 
Mountains stand silent, witnesses to pain. 
But the fire within us refuses to die, 
A chorus of hope echoes through the hallowed halls.

(Chorus)
Bring out your dead, let their voices be heard. 
Their lives were not lost in vain, 
For in the ashes, new life will rise. 
Bring out your dead, let the truth be unveiled.

(Bridge 1)
The rivers running red with forgotten dreams, 
Mountains stand silent, witnesses to pain. 
But the fire within us refuses to die, 
A chorus of hope echoes through the hallowed halls.

(Chorus)
Bring out your dead, let their voices be heard. 
Their lives were not lost in vain, 
For in the ashes, new life will rise. 
Bring out your dead, let the truth be unveiled.

(Bridge 2)
We march forward with hands lifted high, 
Bearing the burdens of the nameless souls. 
Their stories carved into the fabric of time, 
A redemption song born from the tears of the oppressed.

(Chorus 2)
Bring out your dead, let their voices be heard. 
Their lives were not lost in vain, 
For in the ashes, new life will rise. 
Bring out your dead, let their voices be heard. 
Their lives were not lost in vain, 
For in the ashes, new life will rise. 
Bring out your dead, let their voices be heard. 
Their lives were not lost in vain, 
For in the ashes, new life will rise. 
Bring out your dead, let the truth be unveiled.



Bring Out Your Dead

07 - Light Rain At The Metro Park

Stone Caster
Gregg Hart

Quick to criticize and point out someone to blame
The one who did the crime deserves to live in shame

Cast that stone
Quick to judge
Unyielding heart
Never budge

You can try, but you cannot hide the guilty lie
You are prepared to throw without a sigh

Search within
Heart matter
Don’t be a
Stone Caster

Why don’t you drop that stone, and I’ll drop mine
We’re not free from sin 
There is only one – who has the right 
To be the judge
And He said go and sin no more

Hold that stone
Before you judge
Check your heart
Full of sludge

Search within
Heart matter
Don’t be a
Stone Caster

Truth came out
Heart matter
Once again
Stone Caster


Stone Caster

This is a cover of a song by Tourniquet.  HXVox, Nine Zero and Solaria were used for the vocals. 

Broken Chromosomes

“Lying In The Garden”
The Impossible Nothing
Words/Music: Gregg Hart
[intro]
Whispers in the wind oh oh… from a serpent’s tongue, oh oh
A promise of power, yeah… when the world was young, oh so young.
[verse 1]
Biting at the fruit of the forbidden tree
Breaking sacred trust for the taste of secrecy
Eyes now opened as your innocence was torn away
Now the world pays the cost… until the end of days
[chorus]
Biting deep, knowledge gained,
Now the truth’s revealed
Biting deep, heart is black,
There’s no turning back.
[instrumental]
[verse 2]
Shadows in the garden where the light once stayed,
Covering their shame with the fig leaves that they made.
Eyes wide open but the cost was far too great,
Bearing the eternal curse that no flesh can shake (no!)
[chorus]
Biting deep, knowledge gained,
Now the truth’s revealed
Biting deep, heart is black,
There’s no turning back.
[instrumental]
[chorus]
Biting deep, knowledge gained,
Now the truth’s revealed
Biting deep, heart is black,
There’s no turning back.
[tag 1]
You heard the serpent’s lie … now whats ya gunna do?
If you believe the serpent’s lie you know it’s all on you. (yeah!)

There’s no going back
[tag 3]
You heard the serpent’s lie … now whats ya gunna do?
There's no going back
If you believe the serpent’s lie you know it’s all on you. (yeah!)

If you believe the serpent’s lie you know it’s all on you.
If you believe the serpent’s lie you know it’s all on you.

[chorus]
Biting deep, knowledge gained,
Now the truth’s revealed
