The morning brings more unanswered prayer
Is anybody listening or answering up there?
You said we just had to seek and ask
The heavens seem to be as brass

Lord, You've not heard us when we pray
Like sheep with no shepherd, we've gone astray
We've ignored Your word that You've justly spoken
Please restore the trust that's been crushed and broken

We need to begin again
We need a touch from above
This ain't just about them
It's 'bout me, 'bout you, 'bout us

Like children who've wandered far from home
We've gone way beyond our comfort zone
But still You call us by our name
We're the reason why You came

When did we forget Your grace?
How will we enter your gates?

Lord, You've not heard us when we pray
Like sheep with no shepherd, we've gone astray
We've ignored Your word that You've justly spoken
Please restore the trust that's been crushed n broken

We need to begin again
We need a touch from above
This ain't just about them
It's 'bout me, 'bout you, 'bout us

If my people who are called by my name
Will humble themselves and seek my face
Turn from their wicked, evil ways
Then I will hear them, when they pray

When did we forget Your grace?
How will we enter your gates?

Lord, You've not heard us when we kneel n pray
Like sheep with no shepherd, we've gone astray
We've ignored Your word that You've justly spoken
Please restore the trust that's been crushed n broken

We need to begin again
We need a touch from above
This ain't just 'bout them
It's 'bout me, 'bout you, 'bout us 

A Touch From Above

Songwriter. Storyteller. Sound pioneer, Stan Countz is a genre-bending songwriter with over 300 original songs under his belt — a true craftsman of lyric and melody. From his debut track “Those Hap Happy Days” in 2005, a nostalgic tribute to the golden era of the ’50s and ’60s, Stan has built a musical legacy rooted in meaning, melody, and message.

Writing under the moniker Stan and Be Counted, he stands tall in the world of music as both a creator and a voice of purpose. His catalog spans a kaleidoscope of genres — from contemporary Christian rock and gospel to EDM, country pop, blues, R&B, hip hop, folk, and beyond. Each song is a reflection of his passion for storytelling and his desire to uplift, challenge, and connect.

Whether crafting soul-stirring love ballads, foot-tapping jingles, or heart-pounding hard rock anthems, Stan brings a rare blend of versatility, depth, and soul to every track. He doesn't just write songs — he writes moments you can feel.

Stan Countz is more than an artist — he’s a movement. A call to stand... and be counted. He is a prolific lyricist and lives in Denison, Texas with his artist/photographer wife.
