He swapped our sin for His perfection. He died and rose again for our redemption. He took our lashes, took our bruises. We traded our ashes, for His beauty. The improbable swap, God's unstoppable plan.

This is America to Me is a powerful tribute to the real heartbeat of this nation, the people. This Is America to Me honors those who rise early, fight quietly, and give endlessly to make others’ lives better. It speaks to the struggle, the sacrifice, and the silent strength behind freedom. In a time when division shouts loud, this song whispers truth and unity with fire. It’s not about politics, it’s about purpose. It’s about what America really means: liberty, dignity, and a promise worth keeping.



This Is America to Me

One small moment a look, a smile, a laugh and suddenly you’re stuck replaying it like it meant everything.
Even if, to them, it meant nothing.
Ghost of a Moment is about holding onto something that was probably never real, but still won’t let go of you.

From the album Songs For No One out now.

Woke Judges

Lyrics
The left wants us ignored or silenced
Or they'll just resort to violence
Got no room for moderates
Now who's bein' intolerant?

The news purports to be unbiased
Like David, we need to slay the giant
We need to stay sober and alert
Or we'll end up like Charlie Kirk

They want us to suffer in silence
To be accepting and compliant
To follow their left wing science
Or wash our hands of it, like Pontius Pilate

David looked that giant in the face
And said "today's your dyin' day."
That giant profaned the Lord's name
And by a shepherd's hand was slain

Men and women of this great land
We need to grab the Savior's hand
And stand for what we believe
Repent n humbly hit our knees

They want us to suffer in silence
To be accepting and compliant
To follow their left wing science
Or wash our hands of it, like Pontius Pilate

David looked that giant in the face
And said "today's your dyin' day."
That giant profaned the Lord's name
And by a shepherd's hand was slain

The news purports to be unbiased
Like David, we need to slay the giant
We need to stay sober and alert
Or we'll end up like Charlie Kirk

The left wants us ignored or silenced
Or they'll just resort to violence
Got no room for moderates
Now who's bein' intolerant?

Suffer in Silence

Lyrics 
Long ago in the garden, we believed an evil lie
Our hearts began to harden, and man began to die
But our all-knowing Father, thought up an ingenious plan
To save His sons n daughters, from the reaper's hand

But we grumbled in the desert in distrust, doubt and fear
Stumbled in the dust n dirt for pert near forty years
But, in the end, we prevailed and possessed the land
But even then we failed to obey His just commands

We heard His Word n tried to stop it
We made the wrong choice
Ignored His righteous prophets
And His still, small voice

Until we saw that battle star rising in the East
Followed on to a barn filled with cattle and beasts
A child in a manger wrapped in swaddling clothes
Strangers warned of danger then sauntered off home

Things got a lot hotter when He cut into their profits
They'd turned the house of God into a den of robbers
Called to turn people's hearts to the God of their fathers
Turned over their money carts, they all got clobbered

They were too blind to see, He came to set them free
He came to free His people who by Satan were bound
He'd soon be nailed to a cross and laid in the ground
But they should‘ve known you can’t keep a good man down

The Sanhedrin tried to deceive him
He came to his own, but they wouldn't receive him
In his hometown, they didn’t believe him
But to those who received him

He gave the right to be called
Children of the Most High God
So we shouldn’t think it quite so odd
What He said to those who wore a self-righteous facade

They were too blind to see, He came to set them free
He came to free His people who by Satan were bound
He'd soon be nailed to a cross and laid in the ground
But they should‘ve known you can’t keep a good man down

Like a lamb led to the slaughter, He spoke not a sound
Came to save our sons n daughters who were enslaved n bound
But they should've known you can't keep a good man down
No, oh oh, you, you can't keep a good man down

Can't Keep a Good Man Down

Lyrics by Stan Countz

At the cross the devil thought he’d won 
but the Father tricked him
I was the victor, the only sinless one
Not the victim
As my body was layin' in the tomb
Father God was makin' room
For more souls to join 
His sacred kingdom

The mind of man can't imagine or conceive
What God has planned for those who believe
Don't fall prey to Satan's many distractions
In my father's place, are many mansions

God knows, after three days 
I rose from the grave
Now there’s only one name 
by which man can be saved

I said “If you've seen me
You've seen the Father."
The enemy screams
"Why even bother?”

Don't fall prey to Satan's many distractions
In my father's place, are many mansions

The mind of man can't imagine or conceive
What God has planned for those who believe
Don't fall prey to Satan's many distractions
In my father's place, are many mansions

Don't fall prey to Satan's many distractions
In my father's place, are many mansions

The gospel shouts from the housetops
“We’re saved by the grace of God above”
Not by something we say or do, start or stop
‘Cuz we can never deserve the Father's love
I gave my life to save all mankind
Man's best efforts were not enough
Those who seek Me will surely find
N the Spirit will fall on 'em like a dove

The mind of man can't imagine or conceive
What God has planned for those who believe
Don't fall prey to Satan's many distractions
In my father's place, are many mansions

The mind of man can't imagine or conceive
What God has planned for those who believe
Don't fall prey to Satan's many distractions
In my father's place, are many mansions

[Instrumental outro]

Don't fall prey to Satan's many distractions
In my father's place, are many mansions

Many Mansions

Lyrics
He's the Alpha and Omega
The first and the last
Son of God and man
His birth bridged the gap

We keep seeing a mirage
Thirsting for an oasis
He and Father God
Were on a first name basis

He was tempted in the desert
For forty days and nights
The lamb and the shepherd
Took our place, paid the price

Like a lamb led to the slaughter
He laid down His life
To save our son's n daughters
He came to make it right

God has solved the problem
Made a way, bridged the gap
Between a Holy, Perfect God and
Sinful, wicked man

Not by something we start or stop
Or what we do that's good or bad
It was the improbable swap
God's unstoppable plan

He swapped our sin for His perfection
He died n rose again for our redemption
He took our lashes, took our bruises
We swapped our ashes, for His beauty

Now there’s only one name
by which we can be saved
God knows, after three days
He rose from the grave

God has solved the problem
Made a way, bridged the gap
Between a Holy, Perfect God and
Sinful, wicked man

Not by something we start or stop
Or if we sit, we kneel or stand
It was the improbable swap
God's unstoppable plan

He swapped our sin for His perfection
He died n rose again for our redemption
He took our lashes, took our bruises
We swapped our ashes, for His beauty

Halleluuujah, Halleluuujah
Sing praise to the Great I am
The lion of the tribe of Judah
Laid down His life like a lamb

Pray He won't say "I never knew ya"
Praise His name and take His hand
It was the improbable swap
God's unstoppable plan

He swapped our sin for His perfection
Died n rose again for our redemption
Reed the book, you'll know what truth is
We know who wins, we know who loses

The mind of man can't imagine or conceive
What God has planned for those who believe

He swapped our sin for His perfection
He died n rose again for our redemption
He took our lashes, took our bruises
We swapped our ashes, for His beauty

The lion of the tribe of Judah
Laid down His life like a lamb
It was the improbable swap
God's unstoppable plan
