Instrumental version of my latest song. A few parts still need to be cleaned up.

My Ultimatum (Instrumental)

Lyrics

What do you believe?
Did it come from yourself?
Or is your life the reflection of someone else?

I had hope for the world.
I thought we could have peace.
But now I see you’re only blinded by your endless hate.

I say, one way, one truth, one life.
You say, my way, my truth, my life.
But what is truth? What is truth?

Falling for eternity,
Is this the world you always wanted?
Dying eternally,
Is this the end you searched for?

Your tolerance only tolerates evil.
If you fight for equality,
Why am I less equal?

I was taught to believe that there is more to life,
Then this all-consuming darkness that’s inside of me.

My human nature wants to loathe you.
My faith tells me not to.

If loving my enemies is intolerance,
I’m sorry to disappoint you. 

I refuse to hate you.
I refuse to hate myself.

If God is dead,
Why waste your breath to curse Him?
You crucified Him before you even heard Him.

I was born again to be free from my own desires.
If you think I would throw away eternal life to fit your mold,
Think again.

I only wanted to love and respect you.
I hope you turn from your path of self-destruction.
But you celebrate the innocent’s annihilation.

Never turn from the path set before me.
There is no doubt in my mind.
Evil has shown its true face and it has no place.

God’s truth is my ultimatum.
Compromise means death.
This is all or nothing.

My Ultimatum

First song I recorded with my new acoustic guitar.

Let Me Into Your Story

Brave

Instrumental version of my most recent song.

Warrior (Instrumental)

Finally finished the vocals for this song.

Lyrics:

The enemy of my soul has been hunting me since my life began.
Every day I am alive I have to fight to survive.
My foe tries telling me lies to make me believe I am alone, and I cannot prevail.
But with Christ in me, I will never fail.

I will never give up.
I will never surrender. 
This war is unending.
Even if I fight alone.

There is no peace.
There is no surrender.
Even when I lose the will to live,
I still refuse to die.

I have seen fear tremble.
I have seen sorrow run and cower.
Even death has lost its power. 

I can hear a thousand reasons why I am worthless, but I only need one reason to live.
Jesus is the reason I am alive. The Holy Spirit gives me strength to survive.

I don’t know when this war will end. I only know that I will win.
Death is the final enemy, and it has been defeated.
Outlast, endure, survive.
Survive warrior.

Warrior

Lyrics:

I was trapped in my own mind
Unable to confide

Waiting for someone to find
The truth hidden inside

You have helped me realize
That I don’t have to hide

Desperate to tell you that I strive
To be part of your life

Let me into your story

Tell me how it all began
Where your journey led 

Show me who you really are
Deep within your heart

I see the kindness in your eyes
The light that never dies

I won’t let my fear decide
That I still have to hide

I will never let my fear decide
I have to hide

I can see a kindness in your eyes
That never dies

Waiting for you to see 
The truth hidden inside of me

Everyday I long to say
The truth hidden inside of me

Let Me Into Your Story (Vocals)

Lyrics:

All my life I’ve 
Walked this path alone
Never knew if I would find my home

Waiting for someone
To set me free
Will you ever come deliver me

I want to be brave
I want to speak your name
Even when I cannot see your face
I want to be brave
I want to speak your name
Even when I cannot feel your grace

All my life I
Chose to live in fear
Never gave myself the chance to dream

Waiting for my
Purpose to appear
Pressing on is harder than it seems

Why do I hesitate?
I have only known sorrow.
Sometimes I wonder
Will I be brave tomorrow?

Wasting my life away
Is this the day 
I will be brave?

When will I be brave?

Brave (Vocals)

Lyrics:

You know everything about me
You understand my every thought
If there is anyone who knows my ways, it is you Lord

Even before there is a word on my tongue
Behold, you know it all
You surround me everyday
Though I cannot comprehend your love, your love

Even as the darkness surrounds me, and the night covers the light around me
There is no darkness in your eyes
Only light as bright as sunrise

Where can I go from your spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up the heavens, you are there
If I make my bed in the depths, you are there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on the far side of the sea
Even there your hand will guide me
Your right hand will hold me fast

You see my anxious thoughts
You see my hurtful ways
Lead me in the everlasting way, the everlasting way

Jesus, only you truly know my heart
Even still, even still you love me, you love me

My Journey

My Everything

Lyrics:

Music is my inspiration.
When I can’t find the words
You hear the music, I hear the words 
Music is my language when words are not enough

If you want to know me, show me you understand my language.
You hear the music, I hear the words 
The music is calling out. 

Music is my language. Do you know it? Do you hear it? Feel it?
Every day you pass me by, but never hear my song. You never hear my voice.
You never hear my words. 

You never hear my song.

My Language

My first EP but with all the vocals. This work tells a very personal part of my story. I hope to expand on these ideas and fully explain them in the future.
