Jagged Lines
Verse 1
Life don’t walk no straight white line,
It zigs, it zags, it spins in time.
Flatline living? That ain’t breathin’,
Need the bumps and breaks for meanin’.
Echoes hit from way back then,
Old selves die, new selves begin.
Twist and turn, the groove don’t fake,
Twisted moves are what we make.
Pre-Chorus
Shake it, bend it, break that frame,
Every angle’s got a name.
Chorus
Circles, spirals, bumps, and rhyme,
We’re alive ‘cause we move in time.
Life don’t move in a straight direction,
Jagged lines make the best connection.
Verse 2
One day high, next day low,
Upstream fight or downstream flow.
Patchwork soul, stitched-up skin,
Every scar’s where love got in.
Every jolt is a brand-new spark,
Lightin’ up what was in the dark.
Crooked beats in a jagged rhyme,
That’s the sound of bein’ alive.
Pre-Chorus
Shake it, bend it, break that frame,
Every angle’s got a name.
Chorus
Circles, spirals, bumps, and rhyme,
We’re alive ‘cause we move in time.
Life don’t move in a straight direction,
Jagged lines make the best connection.
Bridge
Ain’t no map for who we are,
Every detour is a star.
We change shape with every mile,
Funky chaos makes it style.
Backwards, sideways, forward, spin
That’s the way the groove gets in.
Chorus
Circles, spirals, bumps, and rhyme,
We’re alive ‘cause we move in time.
Life don’t move in a straight direction,
Jagged lines make the best connection.
Final Chorus
Circles, spirals, bumps, and rhyme,
We’re alive ‘cause we move in time.
Life is funky, bent, and free,
Jagged lines make the best of me.
Redemption Avenue
Verse 1
Walked the long way with a heavy load,
Counting old debts by the side of the road.
Every mile behind me, something let go,
Every step ahead, a steadier glow.
Chorus
Where the old life falls and the new shines through,
Where a heart learns mercy in all it will do,
Leave what’s done and begin what’s true,
I’m marching down Redemption Avenue.
Verse 2
No map drawn in ink, no gate made of stone,
Just a path of pardon I claim as my own.
What once felt broken starts ringing true,
Mercy beneath every step I do.
Chorus
Where the old life falls and the new shines through,
Where a heart learns mercy in all it will do,
Leave what’s done and begin what’s true,
I’m marching down Redemption Avenue.
Bridge
Wide-open sight lines, nothing to hide,
Grace in the distance, clear and wide.
The ride itself becomes the view,
Every breath pointing where love breaks through.
Final Chorus
Where the old life falls and the new shines through,
Where a heart learns mercy in all it will do,
Leave what’s done and begin what’s true,
I’m marching down Redemption Avenue.
Rhythm and Time
Verse 1
We started out loud
like a rock and roll band
Fast songs playing
fire in our hands
Every night carried
by the backbeat’s roar
Didn’t need much
just the music, and more
Verse 2
Then the music grew thicker
with a deeper tone
Bass lines steady
but not alone
Swing came later
with a steadier pace
Learning harmony
finding grace
Chorus
Through the rises and falls
we find the line
Every change, every key
the notes by design
We keep the groove
where the notes align
Living this love
in rhythm and time
Verse 3
Now the tempo is slower
the tone runs deep
Soft notes linger
they rock us to sleep
The sound thins out
but it still feels wide
Gentle resolve
where the echoes reside
Verse 4
We’ve known sorrow
in the minor keys
We’ve known joy
in the melodies
Not unison
but a harmony
Where we find resolve
in the harmony
Chorus
Through the rises and falls
we find the line
Every change, every key
the notes by design
We keep the groove
where the notes align
Living this love
in rhythm and time
Bridge
Every version
asks for a fresh duet
A new attempt
at phrasing we won’t forget
Changing arrangements
but the beat holds true
The rhythm keeps rolling
with me and you
Final Chorus
Through the rises and falls
we find the line
Every change, every key
the notes by design
We keep the groove
where the notes align
Living this love
in rhythm and time
Living this love
in rhythm and time
Living this love
in rhythm and time
Use Me for Good
Verse 1 – Forgiveness
Shadows drift across my name,
old echoes I can’t quite tame.
Let Your hidden river run,
wash what darkness has begun.
Chorus
Turn these stones to fertile ground,
draw Your quiet mercy down.
Shape my heart as only You could
and use me for good.
Verse 2 – Restoration
Teach me wisdom in the hush,
carve Your truth beneath the rush.
Breathe a dawn I can’t invent,
make my restless spirit bent.
Chorus
Turn these stones to fertile ground,
draw Your quiet mercy down.
Shape my heart as only You could
and use me for good.
Bridge – Service & Mission
Send me where the soft light goes,
where a single seedling grows.
Let my voice be gentle wood,
hollowed deep for greater good.
Final Chorus
Turn these stones to fertile ground,
draw Your quiet mercy down.
Shape my heart as only You could
and use me for good.
Yes, Lord
Use me for good.
Filthy Rich
Verse 1
I ain’t gotta climb, I ain’t gotta chase
Grace already ran me down, caught me in place
Ain’t about hustle, ain’t about shine
It’s power divine, and the pleasure is mine
All things for life and godly ways
He gave it all when He called my name
Not someday nah, it’s done been done
Truth got rhythm, and the fight’s been won

Knowledge of Him, that’s the secret code
Virtue and glory straight light my road
Don’t need no script, don’t need no shrine
I’m filthy rich ‘cause I got His shine

Great and precious He don’t bluff
What He gave, yeah, it’s more than enough

Steppin’ out clean from a dirty line
World can’t hold me, sin won’t stick
I’m walkin’ in grace and I’m filthy rich
Verse 2
I escaped that pull, that lusty chain
World tried to brand me He changed my name
Walkin’ out daily with soul on flame
Feelin’ divine in a human frame

Now I float on the promises God don’t lift
No maybe, no wish this joy’s legit
Overflowin’ grace and I’m filthy rich

Knowledge of Him, that’s the secret code
Virtue and glory straight light my road
Don’t need no script, don’t need no shrine
I’m filthy rich ‘cause I got His shine

Outro
I’m filthy, I’m filthy... I’m filthy rich
Not in gold, but in grace yeah, I’m filthy rich
From the gutter to glory, He flipped that switch
Now I shine like the sun I’m filthy rich
From the valley to glory, He flipped that switch
Now I shine like the sun I’m filthy rich
Truth Found Deep In Me
Verse 1
By the river where the wild grass sways
I found a calm at the end of my days
Not in the thunder, not in the fight
But a steady flame that broke the night
Chorus
It’s a fire that won’t let go
Rolling strong but burning slow
Lifts me higher, sets me free
There’s a truth found deep in me
Verse 2
On the backroads where the shadows lie
I’ve stumbled low, but I still rise
Not by fortune, not by pride
But a quiet strength I can’t deny
Chorus
It’s a fire that won’t let go
Rolling strong but burning slow
Lifts me higher, sets me free
There’s a truth found deep in me
Bridge
No chain can hold, no storm can stay
That guiding hand won’t walk away
It pulls me close, it makes me whole
A steady anchor for my soul
Final Chorus
It’s a fire that won’t let go
Rolling strong but burning slow
Lifts me higher, sets me free
There’s a truth found deep in me
Yeah, there’s a truth found deep in me
Let The Day Reveal
Verse 1
Let morning hum break through the trees,
Walk with the hush of a midday breeze.
Don’t chase the hours or tie a chain,
Build on the ground no storm can drain.
Pre-Chorus
Wait for the whisper, steady and true,
Steps will align when the call comes through.

Don’t shape the hours or force the wheel,
Stand on truth, feel the groove that’s real.

The day will lead where your heart belongs.

When walls of worry rise and fall,
Hear the quiet where song birds call.
Sink your roots where the dark can’t steal,
Trust the light that the dawn will heal.

Notes unwind what you thought too soon.

Keep your pace with higher songs,
The day will lead where your heart belongs.

Let the day… let the day reveal.

Now you know.

Wellspring Groove
Verse 1
First light spills on the quiet ground
Low mist hums with a secret sound
Heart wide open pulse on time
Every step a spark every breath a rhyme
Old roads fade where the morning leans
New paths shine in the in-between
What once was heavy starts to swing
Even the silence wants to sing
Chorus
The dark is gone the light comes through
Every breath a song made new
Old pain turns to rhythm it can’t hide
I’ve got a wellspring of music rising inside
The rhythm and the beat will make you move
Now we’re singing this wellspring groove
Verse 2
Broken nights taught hands their beat
Dust and memory under dancing feet
Echoes gather the layers combine
Past and present in a single line
Heart and hands set the room alive
Rhythm electric a spirit drive
A quiet spark becomes a roar
Music opens every door
Chorus
The dark is gone the light comes through
Every breath a song made new
Old pain turns to rhythm it can’t hide
I’ve got a wellspring of music rising inside
The rhythm and the beat will make you move
Now we’re singing this wellspring groove
Bridge
Every hidden note now starts to shine,
A brand-new melody breaking the line.
My mind finds patterns I never knew,
My heart discovers what the soul can do.
Chorus
The dark is gone the light comes through
Every breath a song made new
Old pain turns to rhythm it can’t hide
I’ve got a wellspring of music rising inside
The rhythm and the beat will make you move
Now we’re singing this wellspring groove
Now we’re singing this wellspring groove
Keep on singing this wellspring groove.
