Inner State


​(Spoken word)
Inner State yo, the kingdom is within us
​(Verse 1)
Woke up this morning, scrolling through the feed,
Searching for the answer, the missing kind of peace.
They said, "Look over here! Buy this, and you'll be whole."
Chasing the next headline, losing grip of my soul.
I flew to every country, followed every trend,
Trying to find the something that just wouldn't end.
But every mountain top felt hollow when I got there,
Just a temporary high, breathing thin air.
​(Pre-Chorus)
Then I heard a whisper, cutting through the noise,
Putting down the megaphone, ignoring all the boys
Who told me it's a treasure, buried in the sand.
He said, "It's closer than your wrist, closer than your hand."
​(Chorus)
Stop looking on the outside, shut the map down!
No flag to wave, no city to crown!
Heard the voice say, "Don't you check your GPS,
For the Kingdom of God is within your chest!"
It's an Inner State—the power and the peace,
The only place where the searching has to cease.
Yeah, it's not "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" on the screen,
It's the love-in-your-heart, running deep and clean!
​(Verse 2)
I used to think that heaven was a mansion made of light,
Waiting 'til the future, way beyond the night.
Spent my time behaving, just to make the grade,
Missing all the beauty in the life that He has made.
If I'm waiting for a miracle, a thunder in the sky,
I might miss the gentle power that is standing right nearby.
'Cause He doesn't need a temple, or a fancy golden gate,
He just needs a heart that's ready to unlock its heavy weight.
​(Pre-Chorus)
Now I hear the whisper, cutting through the noise,
Putting down the megaphone, ignoring all the boys
Who told me it's a treasure, buried in the sand.
He said, "It's closer than your wrist, closer than your hand."
​(Chorus)
Stop looking on the outside, shut the map down!
No flag to wave, no city to crown!
Heard the voice say, "Don't you check your GPS,
For the Kingdom of God is within your chest!"
It's an Inner State—the power and the peace,
The only place where the searching has to cease.
Yeah, it's not "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" on the screen,
It's the love-in-your-heart, running deep and clean!
(Bridge)
Don't wait for the parade, don't wait for the alarm,
You're carrying the power, safe and out of harm.
The Righteousness, the Joy, the Peace—it's here, it's now,
The time for heaven is this moment, take a bow!

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh it's an inner state yo!

​(Chorus)
Stop looking on the outside, shut the map down!
No flag to wave, no city to crown!
Heard the voice say, "Don't you check your GPS,
For the Kingdom of God is within your chest!"
It's an Inner State—the power and the peace,
The only place where the searching has to cease.
Yeah, it's not "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" on the screen,
It's the love-in-your-heart, running deep and clean!
​(Outro)
Within you.
Yeah, deep and clean.
The Kingdom... inside



​Sunrise paints the fields a perfect gold
Just like the stories that my grandpa told
'Bout how a seed takes root in muddy ground
And how the simple life is where true peace is found.
We roll the windows down on this old Chevy truck
Got more than fortune, got the honest kind of luck.
​Dirt on my boots, faith in my heart, and a truck that won't give up the start.
We got Jesus as the anchor, steady and true,
And the Holy Spirit livin' inside me and livin' inside you.
This messy, beautiful life is all we need to see,
The unseen miracles happenin' day by day around my family.
​My baby brother’s laughin' in the backseat now,
Chasin' fireflies near the river bend, somehow.
His tiny hand in mine as we say grace tonight,
That’s a small reflection of the everlasting light.
We’re fixin' fences, workin' 'til the sun sinks low,
Plantin' seeds of love and watchin' 'em all grow.
​Dirt on my boots, faith in my heart, and a truck that won't give up the start.
We got Jesus as the anchor, steady and true,
And the Holy Spirit livin' inside me and livin' inside you.
This messy, beautiful life is all we need to see,
The unseen miracles happenin' day by day around my family.
​I don't need a sign blazin' in the sky,
Just the strength to live right 'til the day I die.
It's in the quiet whispers when the storm has passed,
The way my weary soul was built to last.
The simple fact that we wake up and breathe the air,
That's the unseen miracle proof that someone cares.
​(Instrumental Break)
​Dirt on my boots, faith in my heart, and a truck that won't give up the start.
We got Jesus as the anchor, steady and true,
And the Holy Spirit livin' inside me and livin' inside you.
This messy, beautiful life is all we need to see,
The unseen miracles happenin' day by day around my family.
​Yeah, around my family...
Thank the good Lord for the dirt and the truck.
And the Spirit livin' in us.
Amen.

Find The Love Inside

(Verse 1)
Woke up this mornin', warm sun in the sky
Got a long list of things to do, gotta rush on by
The world keeps turnin', the clock keeps tickin' down
Tryna find a little peace in this busy town
But there's a simple truth, a message clear and bold
Worth more than silver, worth more than all the gold.

​(Chorus)
'Cause this is life eternal, straight from the Good Book page
It ain't about a mansion or the money you engage
It's knowin' the only true God, the Father up above
And Jesus Christ, His Son, the one He sent with love.
Yeah, that's the whole direction, the compass for the soul
Lettin' go of worry, lettin' Him take control.

​(Verse 2)
Sometimes the road gets dusty, and the burdens feel too great
Like you're standin' on your own, right outside the gate.
We try to fix it ourselves, with all our might and strain
But all that striving only ever brings the pain.
We gotta lift our eyes up, past the troubled ground
Where the only true comfort can truly be found.

​(Chorus)
'Cause this is life eternal, straight from the Good Book page
It ain't about a mansion or the money you engage
It's knowin' the only true God, the Father up above
And Jesus Christ, His Son, the one He sent with love.
Yeah, that's the whole direction, the compass for the soul
Lettin' go of worry, lettin' Him take control.

​(Bridge)
We lean on Him daily, for every breath we take
From the moment that we're sleepin' 'til the moment that we wake.
He's the rock and the refuge, the source of all our needs
Sowin' simple knowledge, just like planting seeds.
​
​(Chorus)
'Cause this is life eternal, straight from the Good Book page
It ain't about a mansion or the money you engage
It's knowin' the only true God, the Father up above
And Jesus Christ, His Son, the one He sent with love.
Yeah, that's the whole direction, the compass for the soul
Lettin' go of worry, lettin' Him take control.

​(Outro)
Oh, the knowledge of the Father, and the Son He sent for me
Yeah, that's the key to eternity.
Yeah, that's the good life... eternal life.
Amen. 


The Good Book Page

(Spoken word)
"This is, The Tale of the Ever-Present Crown"
"Let us sing it Y'all!"
"Let's go!"

​(Verse 1)
Down dusty roads where the olive trees grew,
Walked a carpenter's son with eyes clear and blue.
He carried no scepter, wore no earthly crown,
But the biggest news ever was echoing around.
He'd preach on the mountains, speak out, while walking on the sea,
About a Kingdom that was, and was yet to be.
Not bricks, not a fortress, not legions of men,
But a power that started, right there, and right back then.
Said, "The reign of my Father has busted the lock,
It's at hand right now, hear the tick, tock, tick, tock, of the Holy Kingdom's clock!"

​(Chorus)
Oh, the Kingdom of God, it ain't one or the other,
It's a present reality, sister and brother.
It's the seed that is planted, and the harvest to come,
It's the power of the Spirit, a new life begun.
It's not miles on a map, not a visible place,
It's the light in your soul, born of water and of grace.
Yeah, the Kingdom of God, it's a two-sided coin,
The Heaven you live for, the life you can join!
​
​(Verse 2)
Pharisees gathered, with maps in their hand,
Said, "Tell us, great Teacher, where is this blessed land?
We've looked to the North, and we've searched to the East,
But the King's chariot wheels ain't arrived for the feast!"
Jesus just smiled, with a sorrowful gaze,
Said, "Y'all are lookin' out through the world's dusty haze.
It's 'within you' my friends, it's 'in your midst' right now,
If you let go the striving, the pride on your brow.
It's a spiritual turning, a soft, quiet plea,
To be born of the Spirit, and truly be free."

​(Chorus)
Oh, the Kingdom of God, it ain't one or the other,
It's a present reality, sister and brother.
It's the seed that is planted, and the harvest to come,
It's the power of the Spirit, a new life begun.
It's not miles on a map, not a visible place,
It's the light in your soul, born of water and of grace.
Yeah, the Kingdom of God, it's a two-sided coin,
The Heaven you live for, the life you can join!

​(Bridge)
He said, "You wanna find it? Here's the truth you must face:
You gotta seek first the Kingdom, and God's righteousness, His grace.
That means putting His will over all that you chase,
His love in your dealings, His truth in this place.
For My Kingdom ain't worldly, no political fight,
It's a cosmic new order, pure spirit and light."

​(Verse 3)
But don't you forget, though the battle is won,
The full glory is waiting, beneath the great sun.
There's a day coming fast, when the trumpet will call,
And the Lord we proclaim will stand over us all.
His reign will be physical, no shadow, no doubt,
He'll cast all the darkness and evil right out!
From Jerusalem's city, His justice will flow,
The Kingdom of Heaven for all men to know!
The Future Fulfilment, the promise held dear,
The day His great sovereignty wipes every tear.

​(Outro)
So we live in the tension, the now and the not yet,
A foot on the mountain, our spirit's heart set.
We carry His presence, His truth on our tongue,
The Eternal Reign of God, in a country song.
Yeah, the Kingdom of God... it's here, and it's comin' on home.
