Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Story behind the song
Written during a time in my life when nothing seemed to be working out. God spoke to my spirit ... "Come on home my child, let me live inside, times of testing don't last for ever, if you want to grow up we got to stick together"
Lyrics
Hard Times (Come on Home) Adrian J Pratt Lord I want to tell you something and I hope You won’t be mad, I’m fed up of living ‘cos it’s all turned out so bad, Oh Lord I’m just fed up of living. Try to do the things I should and let Your Spirit move But I just can’t find no peace and feel like I’m going to lose Oh Lord, I’m just fed up of trying. You mustn’t rely on the way you feel, ‘Cos that’ll only drag you down The devil wants to mess you up, he likes to make you a clown. So even though you may feel bad, remember what God has done, He’s sent you the Holy Spirit, so life can be full of the Son. Guess I have got myself just a little confused, So Jesus please change my heart and chase away these blues, Oh Lord, I really want to start loving. There’s so much sin in my life the things I do turn wrong And I’m afraid of failing, playing a wrong note in my song Oh Lord, I’m a bit scared of living. You mustn’t rely on the way you feel, ‘Cos that’ll only drag you down The devil wants to mess you up, he likes to make you a clown. So even though you may feel bad, remember what God has done, He’s sent you the Holy Spirit, so life can be full of the Son. Oh Lord there’s times when it gets so hard to start praying, And reading that bible seems so difficult that it hardly seems worth doing, And Lord there’s days when it seems I ‘m getting no success In any single thing I do, But deep down inside, I know, I still love you, Deep down inside where it really matters, I know Your voice is calling to me: Come on home my child, Come on home my child, Come on home my child, let me live inside, Times of testing don’t last for ever If you wanna’ grow up we’ve got to stick together. Take a trip to Calvary to remember what You’ve done, And it was for the likes of me You sent Your only Son, Now that’s what I call loving!. On the Cross although He died, death couldn’t hold Him down Only took about three days and He was back round town And that’s what I call living! You mustn’t rely on the way you feel, ‘Cos that’ll only drag you down The devil wants to mess you up, he likes to make you a clown. So even though you may feel bad, remember what God has done, He’s sent you the Holy Spirit, so life can be full of the Son.
