Your Love

j'aime la flamme qui brille

My Father’s Light — a faith-forward country ballad about doubt, surrender, and the voice that calls us to stand. If it speaks to you, please like, repost, save to a playlist, and drop a comment—that’s rocket fuel for an independent artist. 🙏 

Verse 1
It’s questions, not answers, fillin’ my head,
Should we mourn the living and envy the dead?
An attempt at insanity floats gently away,
Into this sea of reality where I must stay.

Chorus
Rise up, I say, I’m the Son of our Lord.
“I gave you the Bible—your strength and your sword.
Stand up and be strong; prepare to fight.
Soon we’ll walk together on streets of gold,
In the awesome glory of my Father’s light.”

Verse 2
Blind I am, but still I see
A distant silhouette of a man upon his knees.
He looks to God through eyes of tears,
To end his life of agony and fear.

Pre-Chorus
Out of the silence, a voice from deep inside…
“I’ve not forsaken you; I’m your conscience and your guide.”

Chorus
Rise up, I say, I’m the Son of our Lord.
“I gave you the Bible—your strength and your sword.
Stand up and be strong; prepare to fight.
Soon we’ll walk together on streets of gold,
In the awesome glory of my Father’s light.”

Bridge
I speak and you listen, but you do not hear—
It was I who carried you through the hard times, year after year.
“You weep like a child, wallowing in sorrow and self-pity,
Instead of preparing yourself to enter the gates of pearl before the golden city.”

Chorus (lift)
Yeah… Rise up, I say, I’m the Son of our Lord.
“I gave you the Bible—your strength and your sword.
Stand up and be strong; prepare to fight.
Soon we’ll walk together on streets of gold,
In the awesome glory of my Father’s light.”

Outro
Mmm… together, forever,
In the awesome glory of my Father’s light.

My Fathers Light

“Rise Unbroken” is my comeback song — not just another track, but my way of saying sorry to my fans. For a while, I let others shape my sound and pull me away from what was real. But Delta Dusk & Soul reminded me who I am — an outlaw country soul artist who writes from the heart, not from the crowd.

This song is me takin’ back my voice. Every line comes from the dirt, the wind, and the truth I nearly lost. No more chasing trends — just raw, honest music again.

This is my comeback.
This is my soul.
