Hurricane 03:24
Sticky August day Hurricane clouds overhead The short way to town washed out I took the long way To her house Found shelter from the storm all about Drove home next morning Clear skies, a storm ahead I wore her like a shield Caught out, caught out Caught out in a hurricane Caught out, caught out Caught out in a hurricane All alone in the New Orleans heat Cold winds in my bed The levee broke and I got out Car on contraflow My heart full of regret I made some mistakes And I left some there But others always trail overhead I'm caught out, caught out Caught out in a hurricane Caught out, caught out Caught out in a hurricane Who is my mother? And who is my brother? They're caught out, caught out Caught out in a hurricane Caught out, caught out Caught out in a hurricane Who is my mother? And who are my brothers?

The Last Day 02:59
In the Kingdom The blessed Kingdom In the Kingdom We'll all be free The Kingdom's come It's here and now Where is your neighbor? Can they be found? The Kingdom's come It's for everyone Put down your weapons Put down your guns In her house Up in her house In her house We'll all be free There's a table set So sit right down There's enough for everyone There's never a crowd There's a table set So bring a guest Everyone can share In her bequest In the far land The distant far land In the far land We'll all be free We're all fugitives Just looking for bread Welcome the stranger Prepare a bed Bring your refugees To our town We'll wash their feet And give them a crown On the last day The very last day On the last day We'll all be free It's the last day The very last day It's the last day Let's all get free

Son of God 04:58
The most magical day of my life Is when I saw you in the manger The most magical day of my life You slept on your mom The most magical day of my life Is when you came into it You were a miracle The moment of your birth When Mary came home She cried as she told me A story I found Hard to believe But I loved your mom With everything I had So we became One family You're the son of another Someone I don't know But I'll always know him through You You're the Son of God But you're my son too And I'm glad I got to be a dad to you I remember you When you first came to my work You helped me build a door I taught you everything that I knew And you showed me who you were You spoke to everyone We met on the street The rich, the Gentile, the poor You saw their hearts And spoke the truth With a love so gentle and pure I fed you your very first meal I mashed up chickpeas with oil You spat it up all over my clothes We laughed until we cried We laughed until we cried When they nailed my boy to a cross The ground shook beneath my feet But I wasn't thinking of your awesome power But the side of you only I got to see You're the Son of God You're the Son of God You're the Son of God But you're my son too

Made of Fire 02:49
We are made of fire Dust and breath made our bones Hands and hearts they make our clothes There's a spark of light in everyone Praise to the one who gave us love We raise our faces to the Son He shines the same on everyone But still the nations are at war We don't know what we're fighting for We all have chains on our bones Some are tin and some are gold Some are lead and some are steel Some wounds they never heal Old Job, he lost it all Tore his clothes and wore sackcloth His friends said "Job, what did you do?" He said to God, "What about you?" He was made of fire Dust and breath made our bones Hands and hearts they make our clothes There's a spark of light in everyone Praise to the ones who taught us love They were made of fire You are made of fire I am made of fire We are made of fire

about

In the summer of 2019, I decided to write an album after taking a songwriting class at church. This is that album, written during a time of great sorrow and great joy. This album is for everyone who wrestles with God.
