about

In every song or piece of art we only see a glimpse of the artist. And I hope in the music I create that people can at least get just a glimpse of the One who made them, loves them, died for them, and rose from the dead.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Yeah
This is just a glimpse
This is just a glimpse
Only fully known by Jesus
Yeah

I don’t even know where to start with this
Just a glimpse i swear of art I guess, or life i guess
as I aim for the heart of this, there’s strife in this
I often wonder what others think of me
I’m still learning what God thinks of me
As my mind plays tricks on me
But the lie has a way of sticking onto me, sticking onto me
God is still doing surgery on me since He pulled me outta that cemetery
So forgive me if you don’t quite see JC when you look at me
But, He paid my debt, freed me from sin and death
But i know i’m not there yet
where I’m called to be, but where I use to be compared to today is crazy
I use to be that quiet kid in the back you don’t remember
Who didn’t really know how to live wondering why his parents didn’t stay together
Wit a heart colder than december while trying to hold it all together
Born to fall, like September
Wit a dream to play baseball, yet a smart individual
never viewed as cool, rejected by girls and picked on at school
and thought about suicide too, who knew
Jersey born rocked wit Disturbed and Korn
I was torn and I observed a lot of porn
Lust is a thorn for which i mourn
I was born the coward whore
but adored by the LORD?
WHAT?!
I was blind and down wit the sickness
Stupefied all day I dreamed about sex
praise El Shaddai that I do this less
But I confess lust and the flesh
Come and persist that they know what's best
With the trick or treat sometimes I fall stupidly like Patrick the Starfish
Leaving me betrayed like a Judas kiss
But…

But Yahweh who love me came my way to save me from this
His way said no way to my way changing me from selfish to selflessness
Do you see what I see
Transparency plus humility
Leads to unity
are you feeling me?
are you feeling me?
are you feeling me?
are you feeling me?
well,
I wonder if I’ve felt depressed more than I’ve felt really blessed
Sometimes I choose to rest in my stress, ironic I guess
we all strive for way less even though we know there’s gotta be more than this
I bet it breaks Your heart Lord as we starve for more and ignore You Jesus
Oh Lord give us a taste, we need Your grace,
I’m learning how to run the race
at Your pace to see Your face
Knowing You more intimately is what I’ve been praying for lately
and loving You greatly innately and trusting You daily
finding my value and peace in You only
being grounded in Your love for me
being found makes me truly say
Yeshua yes You are everything to me
You have changed me, it is crazy, I use to be
selfish wit ambitions leading to prosperity,
Now I’m on a mission wit You Elohim and Your family
Your compassion set the ignition so fittingly
I was once blind but now I see, ah!___
Whacha know about that though?
Whacha know about that door
That leads to more than you ever dreamed for
There’s nothing else to be living for
I’m believing for
Deliverance for me and for many
From depression, sex addiction, drug addiction, false religion, and idolatry
Truthfully
Sin will leave you delirious
The human heart left alone is dangerous
From start to end this is serious
To be or not to be healed by Jesus
In Him I got the access
as a part in the process
wit the team around me in this
And what's been given to me by You to witness,
So in all I do whether as a rapper, one day church planter
Echo Director, ordained minister of the gospel
My goal is helping people meet the Lord of all and grow as disciples who make disciples
Cause He came my way, set me free, doesn’t ever quit on me
How could I meet Yahweh and stay the same?
Like being hit by a semi and stay the same?
That’s plain insane
He came to make the dead come to life
So in Him and through Him I offer life
This ain't hype come take a bite
Sweeter than a Klondike
None are alike
To God and His glory
Don’t wait til after your story
Cash in the fight
Arms too short to box Him who gave you the function of respiratory
This ain’t Neo, but He will free you from the matrix of sin and evil
And the lame tricks of the devil
Pick up the Bible it’s verifiable
Don’t let the fool lead you to denial
Today could be the day He could set you free
I can’t wait to see what’ll be
No more death no more pain
No more sin no more shame
Things will never be the same
When the glimpse comes to full view
Everything will be brand new
With You Lord and the whole crew
The choice is up to you
Accept or reject what is true
Just know this, God really wants you
