I hope and pray this country hits it's knees and returns today to the one true king!

Everyday people confuse physical desire and confused emotions for real and lasting love. ln it's wake is a pattern of destroyed lives left behind. I once knew what it is to be among them, clawing upward through circles of sin, desperate to break free. The Lord came and rescued my soul with true love that never controls. I found it in arms—now I know. No more tricks for the show....Fighting for a seat on a train that leads to nowhere.....

Train To Nowhere - (Radio Cut)

Fences we once sat on, have now fallen down
Princes we once spat on, have lost their crown
I hope and I pray, we change our ways soon
Cuz the dish already ran away with the spoon

Humpty Dumpty, stopped all construction of the wall
Our country's destruction has temporarily been stalled
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Can’t put this country back together again

I hope and pray they won’t keep dumbin’ us down
We’re countin’ the days til the sand runs out
He warned us in advance what these days would be like
Then we nailed His feet n hands to the tree with spikes

Jack and Jill hiked up the hill
To fetch a cup of water
Jill fell down and ripped her gown
Then Jack got up and shot her

Nursery rhymes are great and all
But this time we’ve taken a fatal fall
Humpty Dumpty tried to play defense
This country needs to pray and repent

Only the true king can bring true peace
May His kingdom come and never cease
Keep an eye out for His soon return
No doubt we'll see it all crash n burn

This is no modern day fable or fairy tale
This world will fade, His word never fails
I hope and pray this country hits its knees
And returns today to the one true king

Humpty Dumpty sat on the great wall
Lord our country has taken a fatal fall
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Can’t put this country back together again

This is no modern day fable or fairy tale
This world will fade, His word never fails
I hope and pray this country hits its knees
And returns today to the one true king 

The One True King

WITHOUT YOU expresses an intense dependence on someone who feels irreplaceable, portraying love as both a lifeline and an obsession. It captures the struggle of trying to move on while being constantly pulled back by memories and emotions that refuse to fade. The lyrics reveal vulnerability, longing, and the inability to imagine life without that person, framing them as the center of existence. It’s a powerful declaration of love’s grip, where absence feels unbearable and presence defines identity.

LYRIC

Verse

Every day I wake, I still hear your name
Like a song stuck deep in my veins
Tried to move, tried to play it cool
But I’m falling hard, like a reckless fool

Pre-Chorus

You’re the reason that I lose my ground
When you’re not near, I spin around
Don’t tell me it’s just a phase
I’m caught in your magnetic haze

Chorus

I can’t live without you, no way to pretend
You’re the start of every moment, the place where I end
I can’t breathe, I can’t fake it
This is real, I can’t shake it
I can’t live, I can’t live without you

Verse

Every room I walk through feels too wide
You were the pulse that fit inside
No map can guide me from your trace
I still see your face in every place

Pre-Chorus

Told myself I’d be just fine
But you’re the frame to my broken line
You’re the spark that lights my fire
The only name I still desire

Chorus

I can’t live without you, no way to pretend
You’re the start of every moment, the place where I end
I can’t breathe, I can’t fake it
This is real, I can’t shake it
I can’t live, I can’t live without you

Bridge

I’ve tried to rewrite all our lines
But every word still leads me back in time
You’re the rhythm I can’t replace
Still feel your hand, still see your face

Chorus

I can’t live without you, no way to pretend
You’re the beat that never ends
I can’t breathe, I can’t fake it
This is real, I can’t shake it
I can’t live, I can’t live without you
No, I can’t live, I can’t live without you

Without You

No Matter

Shout It Out

Forgiven and Free

Today we laugh and celebrate
Another candle on your cake
A little sip of what's to come
Another trip around the sun

You like to take nature shots with your Sony
Don't put up with any phony balony
You like to paint ladies and geishas
You make me take my medications

You like to travel to distant places
And gamble on a consistent basis
You're compassionate, nice n gracious
Your passion for life is contagious

Today we laugh and celebrate
Another candle on your cake
A little sip of what's to come
Another trip around the sun

You used to help resolve personal injuries
Now you solve TV murder mysteries
You used to work on trusts and probate
Before you just chose to up n relocate

Today we laugh and celebrate
Another candle on your cake
A little sip of what's to come
Another trip around the sun

As a friend you're always true blue
Like to watch Fifty Shades of Grey
If someone shares a secret with you
You'll take it with you to your grave

Today we laugh and celebrate
Another candle on your cake
Don't look a bit over thirty one
Another trip around the sun

Not a bit over thirty one
Another trip around the sun 

Another Trip Around the Sun

We're All Terminal

Jesus, don’t give up on me
I won’t give up on you
When times are tough on me
You're there to see me through
It’s easy to spot the lie
but hard to find the truth
It was for my sin You died
I've got no excuse...

Help me do good deeds not to be seen or heard
Just to go where You lead and obey Your word
Needn’t be the life of the party or crave attention
You know my heart -- You know my intentions

Jesus, don’t give up on me
I won’t give up on you
When times are tough on me
You're there to see me through
It’s easy to spot the lie
but hard to find the truth
It was for my sin You died
I've got no excuse...

Wanna be the one that pitches in with all my heart
In the yard or kitchen, doing more than my part
The one to put a lot of thought into everything I do
To give it my best shot and trust You'll see me through

Don't give up on me
When times are tough, don't leave
I've been the black sheep of the family
Help my unbelief

Jesus, don’t give up on me
I won’t give up on you
When times are tough on me
You're there to see me through
It’s easy to spot the lie
but hard to find the truth
It was for my sin You died
I've got no excuse...

Don’t wanna be a bulldozer, even if I have to suffer
Jesus You're a friend who sticks closer than a brother
Hope You won’t give up on me as I seek to know You better
I’m looking for Your kingdom where I’ll live with You forever

Jesus, don’t give up on me
I won’t give up on you
When times are tough on me
You're there to see me through
It’s easy to spot the lie
but hard to find the truth
For my sin You gave Your life
I don't need more proof 

Don't Give Up on Me

Your grace rains down on me like falling snow
It brings great consolation to my calling soul
Those downy flakes fall down on my face
As I stand in the snowfall of Your grace

I stand in the grace of Christ alone
I know my faith’s not quite full grown
I stand before You and lift my face
In the snowfall of Your grace

Your mercy covers me, I’m sure and in my heart I know
My sins been washed away, I’m pure as the driven snow
So let those downy flakes fall down on my face
As I stand in the snowfall of Your grace

I stand in the grace of Christ alone
My faith’s not quite full grown
I stand before You and lift my face
In the snowfall of Your grace

By faith through grace
Not by working hard
No deeds, just faith
It's a gift from God

I stand in the grace of Christ alone
I stand by faith. You rolled away my stone
I stand before You and lift my face
In the snowfall of Your grace

I walk by faith
I lift my face
In the snowfall of Your grace
Don't close Your gates
I ran my race
In the snowfall
of Your grace 

The Snowfall of Your Grace
