Written from the perspective of a person rejected, the main character of the song begs the church for acceptance. The song encourages us to love, regardless of our differences and flaws.

Lyrics
Verse
You look at me like I did you wrong
I show my hand but you move along
My hand stays cold as you meet and greet
I show a smile but you hide your teeth

PreChorus
I’m here at the door now please just let me in

Chorus
Save me a seat and maybe I’ll stay longer
Hold my hand and maybe I’ll get stronger
I know I’m no greater than the least of these
But I hear there’s someone here who died for me
So save me a seat at your church please

Verse 2
Perfect homes, healthy family trees
Your Religion, your prestige
Lofty saints in suits and ties
Look at me with their judging eyes

Verse 3
Three divorces, abuse and pain
Got no bachelors to my name
Lost all the friends that I call dear
Fought through life and barely made it here

Save Me A Seat

This is the long awaited "I Find" track. It's one of those songs that God kinda downloaded into our hearts complete with lyrics, music and everything. It's not a new message but a very relevant and pertinent one that talks about a God who wants to see us through the hardest times if we would just call on His name. 
This is the new sound of the band and if this song resonates with you feel free to be excited because there's more where this came from! We as a band are entering a season of hearing, writing and recording a full-blown "Worship Project" for which we are budgeting anywhere between $15,000 and $20,000. You can certainly purchase the song at the minimum of $.20 (without hurting our feelings) but if you feel lead to help with this project consider the "name-your-own-price" option as a donation. BTW this may seem like a large number but we have seen God do some crazy things through the years. j.mp/GODprovides (this link will take you away from this page)

Verse 1:
I find that I am lost in You
In quiet times its Your voice that I hear
I find that I am drawn to You
In troubled times its Your grace that I feel so near me 
Chorus:
You are my rock
I stand upon
When all around me hope is gone
You are my song and in this storm
I sing it loud and call upon
I call upon Your name 
Verse 2:
I find that I can rest in You
In my confusion You calm my fear
I find that I am near to You
In my pain its Your hand that I feel upon me 
Bridge:
Jesus, Jesus

I Find

This is the latest single "Surround" from our upcoming worship project. We credit our good friend Felix Chivandire for the inspiration as the lyrics are basically a transcript of a powerful message he preached. Basically when we are broken, we are filled with grace. When are made whole, we are filled with glory. And only a whole vessel can truly contain the glory of God and be useful in His kingdom. We are not just meant to remain perpetually broken.

----------Lyrics----------
Verse 1
In my brokenness I have found
That Your grace surrounds
In my weakness and when I am bound
Lord Your grace surrounds
It Surrounds me
It Surrounds me
It Surrounds me
Lord Your grace surrounds
Verse 2
And when I'm made whole I have found
That your glory surrounds
Standing in this place on holy ground, Lord
Let Your glory surround
Surround me
Surround me
Surround me
Let your glory surround
Verse 3
Let Your glory shine all around
As Your kingdom comes down
All I do is for Your names renown, Lord
Let Your kingdom come down
Come down
Come down
Come down
Let Your kingdom come down
