  • First She Dumped Me, Then She Sunk Me
    Lyrics:
    Verse 1
    Thirty feet, leather trim,
    polished teak and chrome,
    My Grady White commanded the waves
    Worked for years to make her my own.
    Then I met this girl at the dock side bar
    The hottie in the red string bikini.
    Took one look at her sun-kissed skin
    And thought, “this girl could kill me.”
    (I only wish brother)
    Verse 2
    My baby doll, pride and joy
    Then there was the girl I was dating.
    I tried to marry my two loves,
    But they just weren’t relating.
    Four months in, she drew her line
    “You love that boat more than me!”
    But my silence gave her all she’d need
    My heart was floating on the sea.
    Chorus
    So she keyed my truck
    fine, I deserved that.
    She ripped my clothes
    sure, fair play, tit for tat.
    But then she took a gas can
    And chose therapy set to flames
    Lit up my heart on fiberglass
    sent my precious beneath the waves.
    First she dumped me,
    Then she sunk me.
    Bridge
    Guess I learned about priorities
    Somewhere in that flame.
    Should've treated her a little better
    Or at least changed the boat's damn name.
    Chorus
    She keyed my truck
    fine, I deserved that.
    She ripped my clothes
    sure, fair play, tit for tat.
    But then she took a gas can
    like it was therapy with flames…
    Lit up my heart on fiberglass
    sent my precious beneath the waves.
    First she dumped me,
    Then she sunk me.
    Outro
    Sending my Baby to the bottom of the bay
    Brought a sorrow I can’t relieve
    And fishing off the rusty pier
    Just doesn’t calm the grief.
    When she dumped me,
    Then she sunk me.

  • THE HIDDEN BLUEPRINT
    THE HIDDEN BLUEPRINT lyrics
    Verse 1
    I used to hear the thunder
    And miss the whisper underneath
    I saw the stone, I saw the river
    But not the Word inside the seed
    I thought Your laws were distant mountains
    Cold commandments carved in flame
    But now I see the roots beneath them
    Every pattern speaks Your name
    Chorus
    Thank You for the eyes to see it
    Thank You for the ears to hear
    Thank You for the hidden blueprint
    Burning bright beneath the years
    Thank You for the holy pattern
    Thank You for the seed and stone
    Thank You that Your ancient wisdom
    Never left the world alone
    Calling all things back to Eden
    From the wreckage where we are
    Verse 2
    I saw the child and garden crying
    I saw the wounded earth and mind
    I saw our freedoms turn to cages
    I saw our progress leave us blind
    But You were not a voice of anger
    You were not a distant judge
    You were bending through creation
    With the patience of a flood
    Chorus
    Thank You for the eyes to see it
    Thank You for the ears to hear
    Thank You for the hidden blueprint
    Burning bright beneath the years
    Thank You for the holy pattern
    Thank You for the seed and stone
    Thank You that Your ancient wisdom
    Never left the world alone
    Calling all things back to Eden
    From the wreckage where we are
    Bridge [the bridge should be sung as an energetic rap]
    REpent, turn me back to what is real
    REconcile what fracture tried to steal
    REstore the house beneath the dust
    REdeem the gold inside the rust
    REnew the mind, restore the flame
    REsurrect what death would claim
    Not escape, but restoration
    Not retreat, but new creation
    Not control, but revelation
    Not religion, incarnation
    Not a threat beyond the skies
    But Eden opening our eyes
    Final Verse
    You gave me bricks instead of lightning
    You gave me seeds instead of swords
    You gave me songs for unbelievers
    Who could not bear the church’s words
    So let me sing the unknown verse now
    Let me speak what few have known
    Ancient fire in modern language
    Seeds of heaven in the soil
    Final Chorus
    Thank You for the eyes to see it
    Thank You for the ears to hear
    Thank You for the hidden blueprint
    Burning bright beneath the years
    Thank You for the call and cost
    Thank You for the sacred scars
    Calling all things back to Eden
    From the wreckage where we are
    Outro
    And if I sing one unknown verse
    Before my breath returns to You
    Let it thank You for the seeing
    And the chance to help renew

  • My Apology
    FINAL LYRICS!
    MY APOLOGY
    Verse 1
    I’m sorry
fo r the FEAR without the wonder,
    for the warnings
we buried in flame.
    We talked about hell
like ESCAPE was the doorway,
    then wondered
why you walked away.
    We made the good news
sound like a courtroom,
    a verdict
before you had time to breathe.
    No garden,
no table,
    no laughter,
no beauty,
    just fire
where love should be
    Chorus 1
    This is my apology,
    not for the Light,
but the way we hid it.
    Not for the Truth,
but the way we CAGED it.
    Not for the Love,
but the fear we sold.
    This is my apology,
    for making living water
taste like ash.
    We made it gray and small.
    I’m sorry we made glory
sound forgettable at all.
    Verse 2
    Maybe you FELT
the truth was bigger
    than the box
we kept it in.
    Maybe you went
looking for yourself
    because we often
talked of sin.
    So you drifted to the noise
    wide open
    to the glow,
to the feed,
    to the ache
dressed up as freedom,
    to the self you learned to need.
    You called it escape
till it took your name.
    Called it desire
till it starved your soul.
    You went looking for life
outside the story,
    but the bargain
left you more alone.
    Chorus 2
    This is my apology,
    not for your questions,
but the way we fear them.
    Not for your wounds,
but the way we judge them.
    Not for your ache,
but the shame we sold.
    We picketed your funerals
    and called it judgment.
    We watched your life unravel
    and called it your choice.
    We blamed you for drowning
    when WE’d muddied the water.
    Then wondered why
you HATED our voice.
    Bridge
    What if return
is not humiliation?
    What if redemption
is not your shame?
    What if repentance
is returning to your true story,
    not crawling back
under blame?
    What if your wounds
are not your name?
    What if your EDEN
still remains?
    What if the Gospel
was always more beautiful
    than the way
we have explained?
    Verse 3
    Awake
to the Hope before the coping,
    to the child
before fear stole your place.
    You are not
the pain that owned you,
    not the shame
that dimmed your face.
    Come be whole
before the world divided.
    Come hear the longing
in the hidden song.
    This is Love
restoring the wonder
    you were born
to claim all along.
    Final Chorus
    This is my apology,
    not for the Light,
but the way we hid it.
    Not for the Truth,
but the way we CAGED it.
    Not for the Love,
but the fear we sold.
    This is my apology,
    for making living water
taste like ash.
    We made it gray and small.
    I’m sorry we made glory
sound forgettable at all.
    Outro
    I’m sorry

    we made it smaller than
    RESURRECTION
was meant to be.
    The message
 was more than just “finished.”
    It IS His Creation

    Re-Learning to breathe.
