about

Based on the first Christian song I ever wrote. It is the same idea but executed a whole lot better. The lyrics also more accurately articulate the point I want to make; that sometimes it takes the breaking down of the human soul to really start exploring and finding yourself and your meaning. In my case I found God, or as the lyrics say God found me.

lyrics

In the year 2014
I was obsessed with not feeling a thing.
Blown through all of my self confidence,
My ambitions came crashing down from their shelf.
Where I'd placed them trying to be
Something maybe I shouldn't have tried to be,
Or maybe tried harder it's so hard to tell,
All I know is that it sucked.

All I needed I thought was a drink
All I needed I thought was to stay down
What good was there in trying to get out?

I didn't find God on the mountain top
God found me at the bottom of the world
And his grace was extended to me
When I didn't have enough grace for myself.

A spiritual high?
More like the lowest I had ever been in my entire life.
I did not deserve the love I felt that night
And I don't deserve his grace.

It's hard to forgive myself sometimes
But I learn and I get better
I move on because my strength is not my own.

I didn't have the strength to get back up.
I didn't have the will,
I couldn't do it on my own.

All I needed was you

With this song specifically I would like to shout out Kristen Tucker who led the book study where I found my calling in Christian music. This album release marks my departure onto this voyage that is part of a media project I started this year to explore my personal faith and Christianity in general.
