Artist picture
Progressive finger-style guitar, with emotional melodies and raw, honest lyrics.
I invite you to amble through my world of raw, emotional and honest song writing. I hope it might strike a chord in you and be a little more like a flower among the thorns of unsigned amateurs here on SoundClick. Though I indeed am a unsigned amateur myself.

Lyrics
Lord did you not say that those who have faith would do what You did and even greater things? That you would do for us whatever we asked? That if we have faith nothing is impossible for us? The preacher said this is true That God meant it then and He means it now But to fully embrace this is like believing the moons made out of blue cheese These skriptures make me wonder if I am saved So I find I tend to push them away--forgive me But honestly what the heck am I to do? Reality seems to scream they are wrong And that God does what He wants despite of us And that no measure of faith is strong enough To pry open His hand God seems more likely to give us a huge mansion Luxurious cars and the finest toys Then to write his laws on our hearts And save us from our sin Maybe the prosperity gospel nut jobs Are not as wrong as I thought! So what about signs and wonders? What about healing power and miracles? What about about the power that raise Jesus from the dead That is suppose to give us dominion over sin? Doing nothing gets us nowhere Despite Your unconditional love Trying gets us nowhere For we cannot earn your grace Praying gets us nowhere Which leaves me wondering what else is there to do! Oh they say we receive whatever that means That there is nothing I can do Because it is all of grace But wait, but wait! I am not seeing any sign of power Is that not a sign that somehow I must be good enough? Oh but wait, but wait! I can't be holy without his power So that puts me between a rock and a hard place I lay my head against this wall called doing nothing I then go bang my head against the wall called striving All the while I am rotting in this prison cell called self
