Song notes: This song was primarily inspired by the famous parable, "The Prodigal Son", as found in Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32. I'd also like to thank and acknowledge Rev. Kellan Day of St. James Episcopal in Greenville, SC, for being part of the inspiration behind this song with her sermon/spoken word, "Two Sons", a commentary on the parable: https://www.episcopalchurch.org/sermon/two-sons-lent-4-c-march-30-2025/

A few folks have observed recently that despite being a Christian who works in ministry by way of the Episcopal Church, I don't consider myself a "Christian artist" as a part of the Contemporary Christian genre. This is an intentional choice on my part, as I aim to write more universal and (hopefully) relatable songs that reach and stretch beyond solely my own faith and traditions via the more generic "Singer-Songwriter" genre. That said, I do occasionally write songs that reflect my personal faith and the stories I was raised with. This is one of them.

--

looking out on all you've ever known
the world before you now
you feel there's more than this 
ol' broken town
time has come for this to die 
and leave it behind

you think you know
got it all figured out
the pride you can't conceal
yet you still don't --
can't comprehend 
what is yet to be
revealed

looking out on all you've ever known
the world before you now
you've worked so hard
now feel so broken down
with the lost that's found
the dead come back to life

you think you know
got it all figured out
the hurt you can't conceal
yet you still don't --
can't comprehend 
what is yet to be
revealed

opulent abandon
stinginess of heart
ego and pride to bind
they wither away
in the face of grace
love that never dies

we'll never know if they ever
got it figured out
and who would take the blame
the mirror's on us anyway
can we see what has been
revealed

Prodigal

He is risen! Today we celebrate the resurrection of the Son of God!

Malawi Special

The prodigal perfectly proclaims the paradox of the gospel: Jesus dies and is resurrected for us whether we deserve it or not. Like the younger brother, we don’t even have to apologize before our heavenly Father is tackling us in the streets of life with love. And like the older brother, we don’t have to do anything to earn an invitation to the party, save for leaving our judgments and self-righteousness behind. 

Contrary to how we might imagine it, or even experience it, the whole ministry of Jesus isn’t dependent on our deservings, or our abilities, or our morality, or our faithfulness. Instead, it’s all about the God of the good time who is just dying, literally, to share it with us.


The Relief From Deserving

A heartfelt worship ballad about the God who runs toward us before we even call His name. Already Running to Me weaves scripture-inspired imagery with intimate storytelling, bringing the prodigal home in a wave of grace, mercy, and unfailing love. Perfect for Sunday worship or personal reflection.

Already Running

Revival: Be More Vile
Scripture: Luke 15:11-32

Revival: Be More Vile

Hosea 11-14. The book of Hosea concludes with God portraying Himself as both a hurt Father desiring to show mercy to His prodigal son and as a judge requiring justice for the covenant violations of His people.

In this study, Evangelist Gavin Williams examines the Lord's plea for Israel to return to Him. 


Hosea: The Father Calls

Welcome back, Prodigal, to Compatible Music Radio. Across two hours he threads progressive house, electronica, melodic house and techno into a widescreen club journey.

The mix eases in with Mateo Tapia’s "Distant Signs" and Redspace & Martin Di Sciascio’s shimmering "Subliminal Verses (Leandro Murua Remix)", deepening through Gai Barone’s "Hemels" before a lift from B SØUL (SL)’s "Flickerfield".

A glowing finale glides from Ruben De Ronde & MRPHLNDR’s "Brim (Extended Mix)" into Kataploks & Fros7nova’s "Violet (Extended Mix)", a reminder of why Prodigal remains a trusted architect of the Compatible sound.

CMR197 - Guest Mix - Prodigal - NFT

A man, two sons, a life that had no wants.
Food a'plenty, pleasures many, anything you’d need or want.
The father was a loving man who wanted nothing more - than to love them.
The older son, the sensible one, was loyal. I’ll do anything you want or need.
The father looked at son number one with eyes of joy - and loved him.

I want to be loved like that; with open arms, with eyes of love & hearts so warm.
A special place where I can laugh and have a meal - a nice warm bath.
A place where my mistakes can be forgiven - a place called home.

The younger son, his eye on fun and adventure
Wanted to get out and see the world.
The father knew the dangers, but allowed it - because he loved him.
So, looking for fun the younger son went traveling, he had everything he’d ever need.
Or so he thought until he caught himself with nothing left - with nothing.

Compared to what I have right now it’s worth it. What’s the harm in trying anyway?
My father’s servants are so blessed, maybe I’ll put him to the test to see if he
Loves me - see if he still loves me.

I want to be loved like that; with open arms, with eyes of love & hearts so warm.
A special place where I can laugh and have a meal - a nice warm bath.
A place where my mistakes can be forgiven - a place called home.

He dreamed about the home he’d left behind him.
“What I’d give to taste of that again!”
But when his eyes first turned he thought of bridges he had burned, can they still love me?
So he faced the place he once took for granted. See if they can find a place for me.
Much to his surprise, right before his very eyes - he saw that they loved him.

I want to be loved like that; with open arms, with eyes of love & hearts so warm.
A special place where I can laugh and have a meal - a nice warm bath.
A place where my mistakes can be forgiven - a place called home.

A Place Called Home

LOSING MY RELIGION - Tradition & Tribalism

La Grange Church of Christ is a group of Christians who strive to follow God and serve Him to the best of our ability.

Retired the beginning of 2023. Been writing music seriously for about six years. Thanks for listening - and sharing!

CYBER CHORD writes songs the way a porch light holds a night: small, steady, and impossible to ignore. I work with AI as a true co-writer, then carve the lyric by hand and shape the track in Suno. The sound leans bare and human—country roots in the soil, a little rock grain in the teeth, and a faith-lit lift that chooses hope without preaching.

These are ordinary-room hymns: rings hidden in cotton, receipt-tape strings, a dress behind rain glass, a sink that cools while you find the words. Silence is an instrument here; sometimes there’s a full bar where the house gets to breathe. If a line can’t survive a campfire and a cracked mug, it doesn’t make the song.

If you’re new, start with the heartbreakers. They don’t shout. They stay. I believe in the holiness of the everyday, and in the quiet bravery of saying the thing before “later” takes it away.

No paid promo, no playlist buys, no cover-art pitches, no dance offers, no cold DMs. If it’s a pitch, the porch light’s off. If you’re a real listener, come in soft: pick one song, leave a genuine note (lyric or timestamp welcome), and hand it to one friend. That’s how this fire stays lit.

May your road stay open, your coffee stay warm, and your day be peaceful.

The church of Christ at Fairview Park is a group of Christians committed to following just the Bible in all that we say and do. Our goal is to be a local church like those found in the pages of the New Testament. Our collective worship and work reflect this focus.  

Our weekly uploads are Bible lessons presented by Fairview Evangelists.  We invite you to study the Bible with us.

Like those found in the pages of the New Testament, the Fairview Park church is completely independent of all other churches. The elders have authority over this congregation (Heb 13:7, 17; 1 Pet 5:1-4) and they answer only to Jesus – not any other church or body.

We would love for you to join us for worship. If you have any questions about what we do or concerns about whether we are following the New Testament, we sincerely encourage you to contact us.
