About

I can say with confidence that through faith and lived experience, words and phrases come to me: the death of loved ones, a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, and the joy of grandchildren. Life speaks, and I put it on paper. I spent twenty years in agriculture and another twenty in law enforcement. I like to say: “I fed ’em, I served ’em, and now I get to do both.” Writing on the weekends is my outlet for examining, refining, and expressing faith in a form that carries truth beyond what spoken words alone often achieve. The artist name B4Real+ says it simply: B = Me, 4Real = How I/we should be, + = God. The purpose goes beyond me. I write to connect and to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a way that hopefully touches the heart
Influences I like all music from country to rock to hip-hop to Motown to classical. So artists like Wayland Jennings, Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, LL CoolJ, Busta, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop, Five Finger Death Punch, Motley Crew, Def Leppard, Boston, Chicago, Eric Clampton, The Phantom Opera, Jelly Roll, Brandon Lake, Etta James, Frannie Cash, Megan Woods, Ben Fuller, Bryson Gray, Tyson James, Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin, Skillet, Diamond Rio, Casting Crowns, Jamey Johnson, DMX, Phillips Craig and Dean, CeCe

WONDERFULLY MADE

Backstory
Written in celebration of my first granddaughter being born.
Lyrics
Wonderfully Made
Writer: Britton Ferrell
https://www.songu.com/members/BrittonFerrell/

V1:
Wonderfully made beneath the stars
From dust of earth to beating hearts
Creation spoke and life began
Written in the Father's hand
Darkness tried to steal my name
Sin and shame but grace overcame
Head once bowed in doubt and fear
Now I know my Maker's near

Hook:
I am known, I am seen
Loved before eternity

V2:
Choices made and choices we make
Roads that bend and roads that break
Happy, sad, both light and shade
Still I'm wonderfully made
Rock not built on shifting sand
Strength is found in nail-scarred hands
Bread of life, living stream
More than what I used to be

Ch:
See the good, don't dwell on bad
Joy in seasons glad or sad
Walk in faith, rise above
Take advantage of His love
Cars and money fade away
But His Word forever stays
Wonderfully made I stand
Held secure in His command

V3:
Family streets and church pews bright
Stained glass shining morning light
Mothers, fathers, daughters, sons
All redeemed by Holy One
Genesis to Revelation
Grace unfolds through every nation
Salvation written in the sky
Stars that testify

Hook:
I am chosen, I am free
Christ alive inside of me

V4:
Saved by grace, no longer lost
Jesus paid the highest cost
Crown of thorns and empty grave
Third day power strong to save
Peace of heart and peace of mind
Leave the old and step in line
Walk in Spirit, not by sight
Wonderfully made in His light

Outro:
Wonderfully made…
By the Spirit…
By His love…

ICU MOONLIGHT

Backstory
Written in memory of my mother Marilyn Ferrell.
Lyrics
ICU Moonlight
Writer: Britton Ferrell

VS1:
Moonlight shining through the pane
Down in the ICU again
Looking at a sleeping face
Not much longer in this place

Hook:
Pain is loss and loss is pain
Memories remain

VS2:
They say time heals every wound
But grief still fills the room
Life is fragile, breath is thin
Yet peace is found in Him

CH:
Loved ones gone, memories made
Happy and sad in light and shade
Trust the Lord when breath grows weak
Anchor strong when answers flee

VS3:
Cars and money fade away
Won't matter on that final day
Grab God's love before it ends
Hold Him close with family and friends

OUTRO:
A sinner saved by grace I stand
Strength not mine but from His hand
Know Christ before that final breath
Peace beyond the shadow of death

Peace of heart
Peace of mind

EVEN THE DISGUST IS A GIFT

Plays: 0
Backstory
I'm in public service dealing with people. Little frustrating sometimes so this song was a release in writing.
Lyrics
Even the Disgust is a Gift
Writer: Britton Ferrell

VS1:
The closer I walk with God the more the faker shows
The longer I live the more the double standard grows
Liars in the pew, users at the gate
I'm supposed to love them Lord, You know how hard that's great
Christ said as they done to Me they'll do to you
So I stopped being surprised and started living through
The pain is real, people don't care how you feel
But the Spirit in me is the only thing that's real

CH:
Even the disgust is a gift it reminds me I'm not home
Even the betrayal proves I shouldn't walk alone
In God I trust in my family I rest
Even the disgust is a gift it’s a test
Walk in the Spirit not by sight not by feeling
The double-edged sword keeps cutting and keeps healing
Saved but still human still sinning, still rising
Even the disgust is a gift surprising

VS2:
I am made in His image I know what that means
It means the darkness around me is darker by degrees
Not arrogance just contrast like light in a pit
The Spirit inside me won't let me make peace with it
Everybody turns everybody reveals
In the end what they show you is exactly what is real
Don't lose your empathy that’s the other side
Arm yourself with the attitude of Christ

CH:
Even the disgust is a gift it reminds me I'm not home
Even the betrayal proves I shouldn't walk alone
In God I trust in my family I rest
Even the disgust is a gift it’s a test
Walk in the Spirit not by sight not by feeling
The double-edged sword keeps cutting and keeps healing
Saved but still human still sinning, still rising
Even the disgust is a gift surprising


BRIDGE:
I'm not asking You to change the world tonight, Lord
I'm asking You to keep the sword sharp in my right hand
Don't let the pain make me a taker like them
Don't let the hurt make me bitter like sin
Keep me walking narrow even when it's lonely
Keep me rising even when the valley's the only
Like Lazarus out the tomb, Lord raise me again
I rise in Jesus while everybody else just pleases men

OUTRO:
Even the disgust is a gift it reminds me I'm not home
Even the betrayal proves I shouldn't walk alone
In God I trust in my family I rest
Even the disgust is a gift it’s a test

I write pulpit messages for my church as a layspeaker and also am in public service and everybody will have to give an account one day when they pass.
Lyrics
Bowed Head – Broken Knee
Writer: Britton Ferrell

VS1:
Every head will bow, every knee will break
Heaven and hell tremble at the Name we take
Real over fake when the sky splits wide
Clouds up above, He's looking down with pride

HOOK:
Bow your head, bend your knee
He died on the cross for you and me

VS2:
Crown of thorns, worth the cost
Paid for your soul and the souls of the lost
Sin was heavy, chains were tight
Darkness shattered by holy light

VS3:
Jesus on the cross, He paid it all
From Genesis to Revelation hear the call
If God is for me, who's against me?
Victory belongs to the Lamb who set us free

VS4:
Heaven is real, hell is real
Salvation seals what wounds can't heal
Believe and turn, repent and pray
Peace be still, He made a way

BRIDGE:
Every head will bow someday
Choose Him now, don't delay

OUTRO:
Rock not shifting sand beneath
Bread of life, living water's peace
Creation, formation, salvation plan
In His hands, not by man

Every knee will bow
Jesus Christ is Lord

Lyrics
Crown & Cross
Writer: Britton Ferrell

VS 1:
Crown of thorns pressed deep in skin
Blood ran down for every sin
Head once bowed beneath the weight
Love refused to hate
Chains were strong, the battle loud
Mocking voices in the crowd
Yet He carried every loss
Up the hill toward the cross

HOOK:
Worth the cost, worth it all
He would not let mankind fall

VS 2:
Spiritual battle raging still
Flesh and pride against His will
Double-edged sword in my hand
Truth across the land
Meant to cut the sin away
Not to shame but light the way
Stand for God, I’m in His hands
Not controlled by man

CHORUS:
Crown and cross, victory won
Empty grave, risen Son
If God is for me who’s against
Power wrapped in covenant
Heaven roars, hell retreats
Death defeated at His feet
Crown and cross forever stand
Salvation’s final plan

VS 3:
Moving mountains by His Name
Slinging stones at giants’ fame
Darkness trembles, demons flee
Jesus sets us free
Saved lost souls like me once blind
Now with heaven on my mind
Strength and peace inside my chest
In His will I rest

VS 4:
Every head will bow one day
Every knee will bend and pray
Choose Him now before too late
Before eternal fate
Repent and turn, believe the Word
Truth that must be heard
Crown of thorns now crown of praise
Glory through endless days

Outro
Victory! Victory!
Christ alone!

Lyrics
Worth the Cost
Writer: Britton Ferrell

VS1:
Cars and money and the material things
All fade away won't mean anything
When you're dead and gone and life moves on past you
What did you build? What did you hold as true

HOOK:
He paid the cost for my soul and yours
Every soul that's lost, He's keeping score
Come as you are lay it at the altar
Don't walk away don't let your spirit falter

CH:
Jesus on the cross He paid the cost
For your soul and my soul and the souls of the lost
All we have to do is believe and turn
Repent with a prayer so you don't burn
Worth the cost worth the cost
The crown of thorns, the nails, the loss
He said it's finished it was worth the cost

VS2:
Strength in God, walking by the Spirit
The narrow road is hard but He's right near it
Knock and the door opens come to the well
Thirst no more there's no reason left to dwell in hell

HOOK:
He paid the cost for my soul and yours
Every soul that's lost, He's keeping score
Come as you are lay it at the altar
Don't walk away don't let your spirit falter

CH:
Jesus on the cross He paid the cost
For your soul and my soul and the souls of the lost
All we have to do is believe and turn
Repent with a prayer so you don't burn
Worth the cost worth the cost
The crown of thorns, the nails, the loss
He said it's finished it was worth the cost

BRIDGE:
Sons and daughters, fathers, mothers, grandkids, family
The streets and the church and all of humanity
God formed creation, salvation's the solution
Stained glass and pews can't save it's a revolution

VS3:
If God is for me who is against me
No stronghold broken, no chain that can hold me
Victor and victory I take the crown
The Armor of God I am not going down

OUTRO:Jesus on the cross He paid the cost
For your soul and my soul and the souls of the lost
All we have to do is believe and turn
Repent with a prayer so you don't burn
Worth the cost worth the cost

Worth it worth it say it again
Worth it for sinners worth it for men

Lyrics
Dust & Thunder
Writer: Britton ferrell

VS1:
God pressed His fingers into the ground
Shaped a man from clay without a sound
Then breathed a living fire into his chest
That first inhale better than all the rest
You didn't come from money, didn't come from pride
You came from holy hands and a divine tide

HOOK:
So tell me what you're doing with the air you own
Cause you don't own it you're just borrowing it on loan

CH:
Dust and thunder, clay and fire
God's the lender and He holds the wire
Every breath you take is borrowed time
Better make your living something more than mine
When the trumpet cracks the morning sky
Every borrowed breath will testify
Dust and thunder rise or fall
The Maker's coming back to call

VS2:
Presidents will stand without their suits
Generals won't remember their salutes
Kings will cry like children on that day
Billionaires can't spend their guilt away
No title holds a candle to His throne
Every man will stand there on his own

HOOK:
So tell me what you're doing with the life He gave
Are you building kingdoms or are you digging graves

CH:
Dust and thunder, clay and fire
God's the lender and He holds the wire
Scholars gonna drop their arguments
Celebrities gonna lose their confidence
Stone rolled away the grave is not the end
The Firstfruits risen calling every man

OUTRO:
Dust to dust but the Spirit never dies
Dust to dust with eternity in our eyes

Lyrics
Family & Faith
Writer: Britton Ferrell

Verse 1
Front porch swing and evening sky
Grandkids laughing running by
Mothers praying fathers strong
Teaching right from wrong
Sunday morning stained glass glow
Little hands in wooden rows
Simple truths that never fade
Choices we have made

Hook
Family and faith hold tight
Through the dark and through the light

Verse 2
Cars and money won’t remain
Won’t cross over Jordan’s plain
But love and mercy surely will
When the world grows still
Be kind, be nice, don’t repay
Let forgiveness lead the way
Spread His Word in all you do
Let His light shine through

Chorus
Live life full while breath is near
Hold your loved ones close and dear
Grab God’s love before it ends
Treasure family and friends
Saved by grace and running strong
Faith will carry on
Family and faith endure
In Christ secure

Verse 3
They say time heals every scar
But some stay where they are
Still we trust the higher plan
Guided by His hand

Verse 4
Every head will bow someday
Teach your children while you may
Heaven real and hell the same
Call upon His Name

Outro
Family and faith…
Till we see His face…

Anchor In The Storm
Writer: Britton Ferrell
https://www.songu.com/members/BrittonFerrell/


VS1:
When the clouds roll dark above
And pale moonlight hides the sun
When the waves begin to roar
And fear knocks at my door
Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me
Through the valley faithfully
Anchor strong when winds are wild
Held secure, reconciled

HOOK:
Anchor holds, don't let go
Trust the One who calms the flow

VS2:
Bitterness can take the heart
Tear a faithful soul apart
Forgiveness breaks the heavy chain
Peace will fall like gentle rain
Wrong and right before my eyes
Truth that never compromises
God's Word sharper than a blade
Cuts the sin but love displayed

CH:
Anchor in the storm I stand
Not by might but by His hand
If God is for me who's against
Confidence in covenant
Rock of ages firm and true
Shifting sand won't carry you
Storm may rise and oceans form
Christ my anchor in the storm

VS3:
Family praying through the night
Church bells ringing hope and light
Grandkids laughing in the yard
Life is fragile, life is hard
Heaven real and hell the same
Every soul must choose a Name
Repent and turn while breath is strong
Before the daylight's gone

Bridge:
Hold fast, hold tight
Walk by faith not sight

VS4:
Sinner saved by grace alone
No more wandering on my own
Victory in Jesus won
Through the risen Son
Peace be still He whispers low
Strength enough for what I owe
Anchor deep within my soul
Christ has made me whole

OUTRO:
Anchor holds…
Christ alone…

Every Knee
Writer: Britton Ferrell

VS1:
Every head will bow and every knee will break
Standing before the One who died for mercy's sake
Born in sin and chained but the ransom's fully paid
The veil was torn in two and now the debt's been laid

CH:
Real not fake, this faith I'm walking in
The cross, the cost, the risen Lord of every wind
Every knee will bow, every soul will know
The One who bled for us and rose to steal the show
Heaven's real Heaven's real
It's time to turn and pray
Repent and rise in Jesus
Don't throw your soul away

VS2:
Crimson tide of mercy washed my record clean
Imputed righteousness, I'm righteous now, redeemed
The wrath was satisfied, the mercy seat was filled
The substitutionary Lamb, His blood was fully spilled

The cross, the cost, the risen Lord of every wind
Every knee will bow, every soul will know

Repent and rise in Jesus

BRIDGE:
Oh yeah Yes
Oh yeah Yes
Oh yeah Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

VS3:
Like Ezekiel in the valley of the dry bones
Like Lazarus walking out and stepping toward the stone
Rise in Jesus while the world around you sleeps
The Shepherd knows His own and calls and always keeps
Blood bought, justified
Stone rolled away, glorified
Finished work, it is enough
His grace is real as what is told

CH:
Every knee will bow, every soul will know
The One who bled for us and rose to steal the show
Heaven's real Heaven's real
It's time to turn and pray
Repent and rise in Jesus
Don't throw your soul away

OUTRO:
Bow your head, bend your knee
Find the grace that sets you free
Bow your head, bow your head
Dead man dead, life behind
Bow your head Oh yeah
Find the grace Oh yeah
Bow your head, bow your head

Lyrics
Dry Bones Rising
Writer: Britton Ferrell

CH:
Rise like dry bones, hear him calling your name
Nothing stays dead when he enters the frame
Rise, rise, rise us up. Past the stones, dry bones rising
You are not alone, you are not alone

VS1:
Dry bones in the valley, hear the word of the Lord
Every dead thing rises when he speaks and restores
Slinging stones at Goliath, moving mountains by faith
The battlefield of the mind is where the enemy plays
Principalities and powers, fiery darts in the air
Shield of faith, helmet of salvation I declare
The roaring lion circles but his teeth are all broke
Psalm 37, Lord arise, strike the wicked I quote

CH:
Rise like dry bones, hear him calling your name
Nothing stays dead when he enters the frame
When He enters the frame
Rise like Lazarus out the tomb
Past the stone, dry bones rising
You are not alone, you are not alone

VS2:
Stronghold broken captive soul set free
Chains falling off like they did for Paul and Silas believe
The potter's hands on the clay, being remoted again
Refiner's fire burning out the dross and the sin
Adopted son, heir with Christ to the throne
If God is for me, I will never walk alone
The double-edged sword cuts sin, now a comfort to men
Walk in the spirit, rise and do it again

CH:
Rise like dry bones, hear him calling your name
Nothing stays dead when he enters the frame
When He enters the frame
Rise rise rise like Lazarus out the tomb
Past the stone, dry bones rising
You are not alone, you are not alone

VS3:
Stars in the heavens, wonderfully made Genesis to Revelation
The whole story's been laid
Fishing for souls like the sons by the sea
Fathers and sons and the family, that's the legacy
Angels and demons collide every day
But I stand on the rock and I will not be swayed
The horizon is lit by the firstfruits who rose
Third day morning
The empty grave shows

OUTRO:
Victor and victory in Jesus I stand
More than a conqueror held in his hand
Every dark valley, his light breaks through
Dry bones will rise and I know mine will too

Rise like rise like dry bones, rise dry bones, rise like bones
Rise like Lazarus the chains, chains are falling
We are not alone
Rise like

Right the heart and right the wrong
Saved by grace, walking on

Glory through eternity
Family gathered round the throne

Yoke is easy, load is light He said it Himself

Refiner's Season:
Writer: Britton Ferrell

I am clay inside the Potter's hands
Spinning on a wheel I don't understand
Every cracked and crooked piece remade
In the Refiner's fire I'm not afraid

Fruit of the Spirit growing out the vine
Abide in Him and watch the branches climb
Washed like snow on every hidden stain
Adopted son I bear the family name

Refiner's season, holy burning
Every impure thing is turning
Into something only grace could build
Valley low and now my cup is filled
Potter's hands, still waters run
I'm abiding in the Risen One
Refiner's fire I come out gold
Heir with Christ I'm finally whole

Seasons are appointed under sun
Number all our days until the race is run
Heart of wisdom Spirit, lead me right
Green pastures at the end of every night

Refiner's season, holy burning
Every impure thing is turning
Into something only grace could build
Valley low and now my cup is filled

He is making all things new
He is faithful He comes through
From the valley to the throne
I have never walked alone

Refiner's season, holy burning
Every impure thing is turning
New creation living sacrifice
Come as you are
He makes it right

Lyrics
What You Leave in the Room
Writer: Britton Ferrell

INTRO:
My daddy used to say the richest men he knew
Died with empty hands and a room full of people crying
Not because of money, not the things they owned
But because of how they made you feel less alone
There's a difference between a life that's built
And a life that's simply spent

VS1:
I've watched the selfish go and I've watched the givers go
The ground receives them both without a preference
But the rooms they left behind told two different stories
One was full of silence
One was full of names being spoken soft and low
Like prayers that didn't want to end

CH:
It ain't what you gathered, ain't what you spent
It's what you leave in the room when you went
Did you carry somebody's weight for a while
Did you stop long enough to make a child smile
When the breath God loaned you finally returns
Will the love you gave be the thing that burns
Long after the cold and the quiet come through
What you leave in the room that's the truth of you

VS2:
Walk in faith and not by what your two eyes see
The narrow road don't promise it'll feel like easy
Bitterness is a hole you dig for someone else
And end up falling in it by yourself
Forgiveness ain't excusing what was done to you
It's just refusing to let it be the thing that moves you

BRIDGE:
Christ on the cross that was love leaving everything in the room
An empty tomb that was love refusing to stay consumed
Every loved one gone left something behind
A word, a gesture, a particular kind
Of grace that didn't have to be there but was
That's the whole of it that's what love does

VS3:
So be a joy to someone while the days are here
Be a giver in a world of takers, year to year
Don't let the material convince you it's enough
Cars and houses make a comfortable kind of bluff
When the lid closes and the world keeps spinning on
Let the life you lived be somebody's favorite song

CH:
It ain't what you gathered, ain't what you spent
It's what you leave in the room when you went
Did you carry somebody's weight for a while
Did you stop long enough to make a child smile
When the breath God loaned you finally returns
Will the love you gave be the thing that burns
Long after the cold and the quiet come through
What you leave in the room
...that's the truth of you

OUTRO:
No resolution. Just open sky

Lyrics
Goliath Had a Bad Day
Writer: Britton Ferrell

VS1:
Little shepherd boy with a stone and a sling
Standing in a valley facing everything
Giant laughed nine feet tall and proud
But David walked out in the name of the Lord out loud
Didn't need the armor, didn't need the sword
Just five smooth stones and a trust in God's Word
He said the battle's not by strength or might
It's the Spirit of the Lord that wins this fight

CH:
Goliath had a bad day your giant will too
When you walk out in the name of the one who sees you through
Moving mountains, slinging stones, standing in the gap
Your problem ain't your Goliath it's the faith that you lack
Goliath had a bad day and mine's gonna fall
Strength in God, rod and staff, He covers it all
Every head will bow, every giant will break
Goliath had a bad day praise the Lord for my sake

VS2:
Don't spare the rod, walk the straight and narrow line
The armor of God fits a little different every time
Battlefield of the mind is where the real war's fought
And the enemy will use every lie he's got
Shield of faith for the fiery darts incoming fast
Helmet locked salvation built to last
Double-edged sword cutting sin to the bone
Arm yourself with the attitude of Christ alone

CH:
Goliath had a bad day your giant will too
When you walk out in the name of the one who sees you through
Moving mountains, slinging stones, standing in the gap
Your problem ain't your Goliath it's the faith that you lack
Goliath had a bad day and mine's gonna fall
Strength in God, rod and staff, He covers it all
Every head will bow, every giant will break
Goliath had a bad day praise the Lord for my sake

VS3:
If God is for me who's standing against me
If the Lord fights my battles what enemy can best me
Victor, victory - peace of mind's the reward
I didn't earn this I just trusted in the Lord
Roaring lion prowling 'round my door
But the Lion of Judah is who I'm fighting for
Stronghold broken captive finally free
Goliath never stood a chance against me

OUTRO:
Goliath had a bad day your giant will too
When you walk out in the name of the one who sees you through
Moving mountains, slinging stones, standing in the gap
Your problem ain't your Goliath it's the faith that you lack

Throne Room of Bones
Writer: Britton Ferrell

VS1:
I walked through the valley where the dead things lay
Nothing but hollow wind and faded days
Like Ezekiel standing among the dry remains
Can these bones live again, Lord? Can they rise from the plain
And the Word came down like thunder through the ground
Breathe into the lifeless let the living be found
Sinew on bone, and flesh on sinew came
An army awakened, never the same

HOOK:
The same God who called the dead to rise
Is the same God calling out to you tonight

CH:
This is the throne room of bones made alive
Where the grave couldn't hold and the stone couldn't hide
Third day glory firstfruits risen and free
The throne room of bones is where He found me
Glorified body, trumpet sound and the dawn
New Jerusalem waiting after the storm
Raise your hands from the valley let the dead praise His name
Throne room of bones, and I'll never be the same

VS2:
I was the sinner who had written himself off
Too far gone to be saved or so I thought
But the Potter doesn't discard the cracked and marred clay
He remolds what the fire and the fractures betrayed
Refiner's heat until the impurities clear
Fruit of the Spirit rising year after year
Abide in the vine that's the source and supply
A living sacrifice, no longer the old life

HOOK:
The same God who called the dead to rise
Is the same God calling out to you tonight

CH:
This is the throne room of bones made alive
Where the grave couldn't hold and the stone couldn't hide
Third day glory firstfruits risen and free
The throne room of bones is where He found me
Glorified body, trumpet sound and the dawn
New Jerusalem waiting after the storm
Raise your hands from the valley let the dead praise His name
Throne room of bones, and I'll never be the same

VS3:
Veil torn from top to bottom access granted now
Wrath poured out on the Lamb and the Father allowed
Every head will bow, every knee will break
Not in terror in the awe of what the Savior made
Rivers of life, tree of healing in the street
Crown of life laid down before His holy feet
New creation, old world passing away
Throne room of bones on that glorious day

CH:
This is the throne room of bones made alive
Where the grave couldn't hold and the stone couldn't hide
Third day glory firstfruits risen and free
The throne room of bones is where He found me
Glorified body, trumpet sound and the dawn
New Jerusalem the old world is gone

OUTRO:
Never the same never the same
Throne room of bones He called my name

Loved Ones & Long Goodbyes
Writer: Britton Ferrell

VS1:
She kept the photographs in a shoebox by the bed
Every Sunday supper, every word she ever said
Memories made don't ask for permission to stay
They just find the cracks and they never go away
They say time heals and maybe that's half true
But the other half is learning what to do
With the chair still at the table, the voicemail still saved
And the love that outlasted the body in the grave

CH:
Loved ones and long goodbyes Lord, help me through
Pain is loss and loss is pain and it's nobody's cure
But the Shepherd walks the valley He's walked it before
His rod and staff comfort me right to the core
Loved ones and long goodbyes they don't fade with the years
Green pastures and still waters through the falling tears
The hurt don't leave but the Healer is near
Loved ones and long goodbyes... He holds them here

VS2:
Fathers and mothers, sons and daughters we've lost
Living and grieving Lord, nobody counts the cost
Generations gathered under one old oak
Now half of them are memory and half of them are smoke
But I believe in a morning beyond the mourning sound
New Jerusalem where the lost ones are found
River of life running cold and clear and free
Reunions on streets of gold for you and me

CH:
Loved ones and long goodbyes Lord, help me through
Pain is loss and loss is pain and it's nobody's cure
But the Shepherd walks the valley He's walked it before
His rod and staff comfort me right to the core
Loved ones and long goodbyes they don't fade with the years
Green pastures and still waters through the falling tears
The hurt don't leave but the Healer is near
Loved ones and long goodbyes He holds them here

VS3:
Live a full life ain't no getting out alive
But knowing Christ your Savior means you more than survive
Don't leave your soul in the hole when the lid comes down
Trade your broken crown for the real one He's found
Enjoy the now the family, the table, the grace
Grab God's love before you run out of days and space
Cars and money and material things all fade
But love love is the thing that was always meant to stay

OUTRO:
Loved ones and long goodbyes Lord, help me through
Pain is loss and loss is pain and it's nobody's cure
But the Shepherd walks the valley He's walked it before
His rod and staff comfort me right to the core
Loved ones long goodbyes
He holds them here

Woke Up Still Breathing *DEMO*
Writer: Britton Ferrell

VS1:
Some folks wake up and complain about the day
I wake up knowing I could've been taken away
No man earns tomorrow that's borrowed time and grace
I woke up still breathing praising in this place
Day by day I'm blessed that's not a bumper sticker line
It's the fruit of the Spirit proving He is mine
Too blessed to be stressed yeah I know how that sounds
But I've been to the valley and I know the higher ground

HOOK:
So I won't waste this breath He gave it for a reason
Walk in faith live in joy through every single season

CH:
I woke up still breathing that's grace right there
I woke up still breathing He answered my prayer
Washed white as snow adopted heir with Christ the King
I woke up still breathing so I'm gonna sing
Woke up still breathing not by might not by me
Woke up still breathing by His mercy by His peace
Every morning is a miracle dressed like routine
I woke up still breathing thank You Lord for everything

VS2:
Looking at the wins not the losses and the strife
Taking the high road through the complicated life
Show love rise above that's the two part plan
Above reproach don't lose the Truth that's where I stand
Cars and money ain't the point they all fade out
Family and faith that's what it's all about
Grandkids at the table loved ones gather near
I woke up still breathing everything is clear

HOOK:
So I won't waste this breath He gave it for a reason
Walk in faith live in joy through every single season

Every King Will Cry
Writer: Britton Ferrell

VS1:
Every king's gonna lose his crown
Every proud man's knees hit the ground
Don't matter what you built or own
We all stand before the throne
Breath you're breathing ain't really yours
God reserved the right to close that door
No machine brings it back when He says when
So live it right before it ends

HOOK:
What'd you do with the days you were given
Did you spend 'em lost or were you living
One question waiting past that final door
What was all that borrowed breath for

CH:
Every king will cry like a baby
Every title fades to dust
But the Lamb already took the judgment
Paid the debt for all of us
So come hollow come broken come empty
Lay it all at the cross and be free
Every king will cry like a baby
But you don't have to not if you believe

VS2:
Walked through valleys dark and long
Leaning hard on something strong
World's full of takers wearing good disguises
God sees through all of their devices
Dry bones don't know they need the Spirit
Truth cuts deep if you're willing to hear it
Potter's still working the clay ain't done
There's still time to run to the Son

CH:
Every king will cry like a baby
Every title fades to dust
But the Lamb already took the judgment
Paid the debt for all of us
So come hollow come broken come empty
Lay it all at the cross and be free
Every king will cry like a baby
But you don't have to not if you believe

VS3:
Stone rolled away on the third day
Empty tomb means the debt was paid
Death couldn't hold what God reclaimed
Rise up nothing's the same

OUTRO:
You came from His breath
You'll return to His hands
Only question left
Is where will you stand
Where will you stand

Lyrics
Borrowed Breath (REMIX)
Writer: Britton Ferrell

VS1:
Let me tell you what you didn't design
That first inhale that crossed the finish line
God breathed the life before the mind could think
Before the education, before the missing link
You didn't generate your own existence here
The Maker pressed you into form then made it clear
Your house yours, your money yours, your name yours
But the breath that drives the engine? That's the Lord's
You didn't pick the lungs, didn't choose the heart
Didn't wire the neurons before the very start
Didn't select the blood type running through your veins
Didn't schedule your arrival or design your brain
So when you stand up tall like you invented you
Remember what was given before anything you do
The ground was raw material, the breath was His alone
And everything you call your life is just a temporary loan

CH:
Borrowed breath, borrowed time
Living on a grace that isn't mine
One day He'll recall what He gave
What am I doing with these days
Borrowed breath, don't waste it now
Living proof of God somehow
Every morning is a mercy call
Borrowed breath don't let it fall

VS2:
No science reconstructs the breath when God withdraws
No machine can manufacture what the Spirit draws
Death's not a medical failure read it right
It's a divine withdrawal of the borrowed light
Mercy lets the sinner breathe another day
Accountability don't vanish when you pray away
"Appointed once to die" that's the Hebrews word
After that the judgment have you really heard
Think about the man who built his barns up wide
Said soul take your ease tonight his soul was tried
Think about the rich man in his fine linen and gate
Lazarus at the door now tell me who found grace
Every vapor dissipates, every season has an end
Every open door of mercy finally has to close, my friend
So while the breath is yours and mornings still arrive
Ask yourself the question for what reason am I alive

CH:
Borrowed breath, borrowed time
Living on a grace that isn't mine
One day He'll recall what He gave
What am I doing with these days
Borrowed breath, don't waste it now
Living proof of God somehow
Every morning is a mercy call
Borrowed breath don't let it fall

VS2:
Every soul that walked this vapor, wind, and dust
Got a day approaching where they answer and they must
Presidents to scholars, famous names to none
Every mouth will quiet before the Holy One
You can't buy it back, can't charm the judgment seat
Religion won't protect you when your two worlds meet
Only one solution to the debt that's owed
A Savior paid the ransom on a blood-soaked road
The guilt of generations laid across His frame
The punishment of every man who ever bore a name
The judgment meant for you fell on Someone else instead
And now someone else walked out alive from being dead
That's not mythology, that's not a bedtime tale
That's the hinge of history where mercy pulled the veil
So now the offer stands not by effort, not by works
Just believe and turn that's where the freedom starts

CH:
Borrowed breath, borrowed time
Living on a grace that isn't mine
One day He'll recall what He gave
What am I doing with these days
Borrowed breath, don't waste it now
Living proof of God somehow
Every morning is a mercy call
Borrowed breath don't let it fall

BRIDGE:
You came into this world with nothing
Not a dollar Not a name Not a plan
Just breath God's breath
And He has watched you use it
Every word you spoke with it
Every decision you made with it
Every morning He renewed it
Without asking for a thing in return
That alone is mercy
But mercy is not silence
Mercy is an invitation
Come as you are
Lay it at the altar
He already paid what you owe

VS3:
I've been in rooms where the breath just stopped mid-air
Watched a chest go still and felt the absence everywhere
And in that quiet something settled hard and true
Nobody exits clean without a reckoning that's due
So I'm not rapping theory, not a bumper sticker line
I'm talking about the weight of something borrowed feeling fine
Until it's gone and then the ledger opens wide
And what you did with living is the only thing inside
Choose the narrow road it don't mean easy, means it's real
Walk it in the Spirit that's the only way to feel
Peace of mind and peace of heart inside a world of noise
Rise above the taking, be a giver, find your poise
Strength in God not muscle, not the hustle, not the grind
The battlefield is spirit but it's also in the mind
So I'll keep walking daily, keep believing what I know
Borrowed breath returning to the One who let it go

CH:
Borrowed breath, borrowed time
Living on a grace that isn't mine
One day He'll recall what He gave
What am I doing with these days
Borrowed breath, don't waste it now
Living proof of God somehow
Every morning is a mercy call
Borrowed breath don't let it fall

OUTRO:
You began with God's breath
You will return to God
The only question is
Will you return forgiven

No Rehearsal for the Judgement Seat
Writer: Britton Ferrell

VS1:
Honey, I've known men who wore the finest suits
Shook hands on Sunday and on Monday played the fool
I've seen the title holders and the seat-fillers too
But the church position won't excuse what the life went through
You think you're big enough to sidestep the account
No status in this world will matter at that mount
Skin color, nationality left at the door
No one's been excused from that courtroom before

HOOK:
Get ready, get ready
There's no practice run for what's coming, baby

CH:
There's no rehearsal for the judgment seat
No green room, no second take, no backup beat
You live it once and then you give account
No rehearsal for the judgment - better count
But the good news the grace news the best news around
The ransom already paid and the Savior was found
Whosoever believes won't be ashamed that day
No rehearsal needed when the debt's been paid

VS2:
Now I've been the prodigal on the long road back
Wore my sin like a jacket and never looked back at first
But something about the Father running toward the son
Said the price of my wandering had already been done
Washed white as snow that's not a Sunday school line
That's the crimson tide washing sins assigned
Imputed righteousness I didn't earn that sound
Justified by faith and by faith alone I'm found

HOOK:
Get ready, get ready
There's no practice run for what's coming, baby

CH:
There's no rehearsal for the judgment seat
No green room, no second take, no backup beat
You live it once and then you give account
No rehearsal for the judgment better count
But the good news the grace news the best news around
The ransom already paid and the Savior was found
Whosoever believes won't be ashamed that day
No rehearsal needed when the debt's been paid

VS3:
Death is not a failure it's a divine withdrawal
God takes back His breath and the body falls
But the soul the soul continues on from there
Into eternity without a clock to spare
Two outcomes just two don't let the preacher sugarcoat it
Heaven for the forgiven hell for those who won't admit it
Repent! Believe! The door is open wide
No rehearsal for the judgment but you've still got time

OUTRO:
There's no rehearsal for the judgment seat
No green room, no second take, no backup beat
You live it once and then you give account
No rehearsal for the judgment better count
But the good news the grace news the best news around
The ransom already paid and the Savior was found
Whosoever believes won't be ashamed that day
No rehearsal needed GRACE HAS BEEN PAID

Storms that rage deep inside
Fear that whispers through the night
Yet You say walk by faith not sight

Memories like falling rain
Yet in sorrow hope remains

Or standing by a silent tomb
Heaven near though unseen
In the quiet in between

Trust the anchor deep below
Even when I don't know
God is good in shade and sun
Victory already won

From the streets to stained glass light
From the wrong into the right
World outside and church within
Same need for grace from sin
Fathers working, mothers pray
Kids grow up and drift away
Cities loud and pews so still
God is sovereign, God is will

HOOK:
From the streets to stained glass bright
Same Savior, same light

VS2:
Selfish takers, broken trust
Fakers chasing fading dust
Givers walking quiet roads
Carrying each other's loads
Spread His Word but do not judge
Leave the vengeance to the Judge
Christ said what they've done to Me
They will also do to thee

CH:
Rise above and show His love
Truth descending from above
Family first but called to more
Knocking on the neighbor's door
Heaven's call in every land
Stand for God in His command
From the streets to church pew rows
Grace is what the river flows

VS3:
Material things won't remain
When we stand beyond the grave
Life moves on but souls endure
Only Christ is sure
Walking through both joy and pain
Looking for eternal gain
Strength in God by Spirit led
Daily by His Word fed

BRIDGE:
Take the high road, stay in fight
Walk in Spirit, not by sight

VS4:
Peace of mind and heart secure
Truth in love remains pure
See the good in life today
Choose His narrow way
When they shut that final lid
All we were and all we did
Only Christ will stand beside
On eternity's wide side

OUTRO:
From the streets to stained glass
Same cross same grace

I sit here and enjoy the sounds
Of a grandbaby laughing rolling around
Making memories and enjoying our time
Writing these words with rythm and rhyme

Enjoying the time
Enjoying the day
Loving and laughing making it count
A babys smile and toys all around making all the memories worthwhile

Baby so sweet innocent and true
Representing whats good of God and you
Laughing and cooing enjoying new life
Brings smiles to a face instead of the strife

Looking back on days long and gone
Memories of those like a new days dawn
Knowing they're smiling looking down from above
Making new memories sowing new love

Next generation of the memories to come
Babies and love all from above

Never take it for granted
Enjoy each day
You never know when will be the day
So make memories now that are here to stay

Trying
Writer: Britton ferrell

I sit back and look at God in awe
Just a farm boy, not claiming to know it all
Writing down Gods words, answering His call

Living in Missouri placed in the heel
Writing Gods words with soul and feel
Trying to see where all this goes
Hoping to make it but nobody knows

This is who I am, this is what I do
Writing down His words, Lord, straight from You
Don't know where it's going but I know You called
Just picking up the pen giving God my all

A farm boy with a calling and a song

Wanting to make it by writing words
Working through life with the wins and hurts
Giving God the glory till the day I die
Missing my parents since i said goodbye

This is who I am, this is what I do
Writing down His words, Lord, straight from You
Don't know where it's going but I know You called
Just picking up the pen giving God my all

Standing in the driveway on a dark summer night
Looking to the stars hoping to get it right
Trusting His grace will bring it to light

A farm boy a calling and a song just trying to get it right

Laying here with eyes open wide
Riding the lightening between humble and pride

Staying in prayer giving thanks and praise
Trying my best is how I was raised

Its hard everyday dealing with man
Then staying true to the Great I Am

We all fall short i know that's true
But God help me daily dealing with you

Did i mean them or did i mean me
Walk humbly in God but still believe

Swallow my pride and take one more step
Close my eyes and deal with death

Easier said than easier done
Christ my savior has already won

Stay True

As a christian i know my worth
I write these lines to help my hurt
I deal with people who need to heal
Then sit under the steeple to try and feel

I walk the road of loss and gain
Looked at the cross with pain and shame
Because i know i fail and i know i fall
He died and took my shame, bore it all

He knew no sin but was laid on Him
He died for me so that i could win
Going through life dealing with hurt
Knowing His hurt to know my worth

I love Him and He loves me
This i know is true and believe
I write these words giving Him praise
Thank God day three He was raised for me

I'll stay true that's a promise to Him
Walking this road growing as a man
I wont stop and i wont quit
Writing these words with grace and grit

Giving all praise and glory to God above
Showing Gods real and showing Gods love

Valley Low Mountain High *DEMO*
Britton Ferrell

I walked a valley low where the shadow stretched real wide
Had nothing but a Shepherd walking close beside
His rod and staff they didn't leave my side
Green pastures waited past the darkest night I tried

Valley low, mountain high
Still waters running, can't tell me why
The table's set in front of all my enemies
Oil running down He's covering me
Valley low, mountain high
His voice is calling through the morning sky
I was a stone the builder didn't want
Now I'm the cornerstone valley low, mountain high

I was dry bones on a wind-swept open plain
But the Spirit spoke and something stirred again
Ezekiel watched them rise and so did I
What looked like finished found its way to life

Lazarus lay four days in the dark and stone
But Christ called out his name and he came home
Don't count the days before the breakthrough comes
The narrow road still leads to kingdom come

Knock and the door swings wide open
Come to the well and thirst no more
Every season God appointed
Under the sun there's still so much more

Shepherd's voice...still waters...He restores

A sinner saved by grace walking through this life
Running on faith through the toil and the strife
Day by day blessed by Christ and looking at the wins
Woke up this morning upright rising past my sins

Too blessed to be stressed I woke up alive
Walking in the Spirit I'm starting to thrive
See the good in life and don't dwell on the bad
Choose the joy that God gives over everything sad
Sinner saved sinner saved by grace

Choices made and choices we still make each day
Walk in faith and let the Spirit show the way
Don't spare the rod be strong in what you stand
Narrow road but guided by the Shepherd's hand

Too blessed to be stressed I woke up alive
Walking in the Spirit I'm starting to thrive
See the good in life and don't dwell on the bad
Choose the joy that God gives over everything sad
Sinner saved sinner saved by grace

Be kind, be nice don't be a selfish taker
Be a giver and a builder not a faker
Enjoy God's goodness and live life to the fullest
Take advantage of His love rise above the mulishness

Green pastures and still waters call my name
The Shepherd's voice is guiding through the rain
Table set before me oil runs down
I'll trade the shifting sand in for the solid ground

Too blessed to be stressed I woke up alive
Walking in the Spirit I'm starting to thrive
See the good in life and don't dwell on the bad
Choose the joy that God gives over everything sad
Sinner saved sinner saved by grace

From Genesis to Revelation it's all grace…all grace…

Lyrics
Golgotha Morning *DEMO*
Writer: Britton Ferrell

Suspended between earth and sky
Love poured out darkness swallowed noon
Heaven held its breath. Hell thought it won
Then Sunday came and Jesus won

Thirty pieces of silver bought betrayal with a kiss
Gethsemane's soaked in drops of blood for this
Forty minus one the flagrum tore His back
Crown of thorns mocked the King instead
He carried Calvary's wood through Jerusalem's street
Nails pierced skin but love didn’t retreat
The sky went black and creation felt the weight of sin
The earth shook and the veil split wide within

The stone was rolled away at the break of dawn
Death could not contain the God who bore it all
Golgotha morning empty grave He lives again
Crown of thorns exchanged for crowns of glory amen…amen

It is finished three words that broke the gates of hell wide
Then the spear of sin pierced His side
What nails couldn't contain what thorns couldn't explain
God’s judgment meant for me fell on Him like rain
While we were deep in sin He suffered our consequence
Took the wrath of God with substitutionary immense
Ransomed soul by crimson flow the Lamb fulfilled the sign
Iniquity of us all laid on Him divine

The stone was rolled away at break of dawn
Death could not contain the God who bore it all
Golgotha morning empty grave He lives again
Crown of thorns exchanged for crowns of glory amen…amen


Third day free heard the thunder call
Like Lazarus unbound He walked out of it all
Cherubim stood speechless seraphim cried Holy at the throne
The Victor over death ascended crowned and calling us home
So rise in Jesus while the sleeping world scrolls along
The empty grave is evidence the resurrection strong
The trumpet call will shake the atmosphere
When Jesus descends every tear will disappear

Sin was broken death denied
By the blood of the Crucified
It is finished echoes still
Victory on Calvary's hill
Heaven roared and hell replied
But the Victor Jesus conquered alive

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain worthy
King of Kings and Lord of Lords worthy
Risen from the grave on the third day worthy
Hallelujah He is alive worthy

No Excuse at the Gate *DEMO*
Writer: Britton Ferrell

[VERSE 1]
I've seen men build empires out of stone and pride
Thought their name and title guaranteed a ride
But the gate don't read your achievements at the door
The only currency it knows is what you bore

[CHORUS]
No excuse at the gate
No diploma, no estate
Every general forgot his rank
Every king stood on the plank
Skin and nationality don't pass
Religious title it don't last
One question echoes through that hall
What'd you do with the life I gave you all

[VERSE 2]
A sinner saved by grace knows how to walk in awe
Not because he earned it — knows he didn't at all
Running on the faith that fills the gaps I leave
Daily bread and living water that's all I need

[CHORUS]
No excuse at the gate
No diploma, no estate
Every general forgot his rank
Every king stood on the plank
Skin and nationality don't pass
Religious title it don't last
One question echoes through that hall
What'd you do with the life I gave you all

[VERSE 3]
Holiness can't mix with what the darkness brings
Light and sin don't fellowship that's how it stings
God is not impressed with what men celebrate
Mercy shows the door but you still choose your fate

[BRIDGE call and response, blues style]
You chose the wide road...(but the narrow leads to life)
You chose your comfort...(but the cross cuts like a knife)
Repent and turn now...(before the breath is gone)
Christ paid for your debt...(don't die with it on)

[CHORUS x2]

[OUTRO — slow, organ swells]
Enjoy His goodness now... family... friends...
Grab God's love before the season ends...

Lyrics
Long Goodbyes *DEMO*
Writer: Britton Ferrell

Verse 1:
She kept the photographs in a shoebox by the bed
Every Sunday supper, every word she ever said
Memories don't ask for permission to stay
They just find the cracks and never go away

Hook:
They say time heals and maybe that's half true
But the other half is learning what to do
with the chair still at the table, the voicemail still saved
and the love outlasted the body in the grave

Chorus:
Loved ones and long goodbyes Lord, help me through
Pain is loss and loss is pain and it's nobody's cure
But the Shepherd walks the valley He's walked it before
His rod and staff comfort me right to the core
Loved ones and long goodbyes they don't fade with the years
Green pastures and still waters through the falling tears
The hurt don't leave but the Healer is near
Loved ones and long goodbyes..He holds them here

Verse2:
Fathers mothers, sons and daughters lost
Living and grieving Lord, nobody counts the cost
Generations gathered under one old oak
Memories live on even though they're gone
But I believe in a morning beyond the sound
New Jerusalem, where the lost ones are found

Pre-Chorus:
River of life running cold and free
Reunions on streets of gold for you and me

Chorus: Loved ones and long goodbyes Lord, help me through
Pain is loss and loss is pain and it's nobody's cure
But the Shepherd walks the valley He's walked it before
His rod and staff comfort me right to the core
Loved ones and long goodbyes they don't fade with the years
Green pastures and still waters through the falling tears
The hurt don't leave but the Healer is near
Loved ones and long goodbyes..He holds them here
Live a full life ain't no getting out alive
But knowing Christ your Savior means you survive
Don't leave your soul in the hole when the lid comes down
Trade your broken crown for one He's found

Verse 3:
Grab God's love before you run out of days
Cars and money and material things all fade
But love love is the thing that was always meant to stay
Loved ones and long goodbyes Lord, help me through
Pain is loss and loss is pain and it's nobody's cure
But the Shepherd walks the valley He's walked it before
His rod and staff comfort me right to the core
Loved ones..long goodbyes

Lyrics
Sweet Shalom *DEMO*
Writer: Britton Ferrell

Intro / Hook
Lord, carry what I cannot carry
My burden's heavy, my soul so weary
The storms of life are raging all around
But I hear Your voice, and You calm the sound

Verse 1
I've been walking in the wilderness, lost for forty days
Through the desert of temptation and the valley haze
The bills came due, the mountains wouldn't move
And every struggle cut me to the groove

Jesus was a man of sorrows, acquainted well with grief
He groaned within the Spirit, interceding for relief
He walked a mile in my shoes before He asked me to
So Lord, I'll walk a mile toward You

Chorus
Have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
In Your grace and mercy, set my broken heart free
Peace passing understanding, sweet shalom
Lord, carry what I cannot...carry me home

By Your mercy, by Your faithfulness
Your time is perfect, even in distress

Verse 2
Days of doubt come creeping in like fog at dawn
Nights without rest stretch long when hope is gone
I fell at Your feet a sinner at the altar, Lord
Lifted up my head and held tight to Your Word

Like Daniel in the lions' den, like Shadrach in the fire
You were there inside the furnace, walking ever higher
The ark sailed through the flood and the rainbow came in time
Your comfort never fails, Your faithfulness divine

Chorus
Have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
In Your grace and mercy, set my broken heart free
Peace passing understanding, sweet shalom
Lord, carry what I cannot...carry me home

By Your mercy, by Your faithfulness
Your time is perfect, even in distress

Bridge
Even in the darkest night pillar of fire
Cloud by day, oh Lord, You lift me higher
Morning joy comes rolling in on sunrise rays
The light breaking through reminds me of Your grace

His grace is enough His grace is enough
When the worry is heavy and the road gets rough
His grace is enough His grace is enough
Oh Lord, You're more than enough

Outro
Shalom...shalom
The Lord bless and keep you, give you peace
Mercy...mercy
His mercies are new every morning they never cease

Carry me home...carry me home
Shalom

Lyrics
Cleaned by Grace
Writer: Britton Ferrell

(Verse 1)
The stars in the heavens, the atoms in our cells
We're caught in the middle between heaven and hell

(Pre-Chorus)
God is real, Jesus heals
Spirit's our guide and we've got free will

(Verse 2)
Devil's on the prowl both day and night
Hunting for souls, putting up a fight
He hates the Father and he hates you too
Don't go down looking like a fool

(Chorus)
I'm running through my sin, rolling through my mind
Trying to repent, leave it all behind
It keeps coming back like a stain on cloth
No prayer seems strong enough to scrub it off
But I know Jesus died so we could be clean
Why can't I let it go it comes between me and You

(Verse 3)
God's goodness and mercy are all around
Sometimes it's so hard for me to see
Lord, open my eyes so I can see

(Bridge)
God convicts, sin condemns
Where we land comes down to Him
When you believe what Jesus achieved
Your sins are condemned, His grace received

(Final Chorus — lift (key up / fuller band)
I'm running through my sin, rolling through my mind
Trying to repent, leave it all behind
It keeps coming back like a stain on cloth
But Your blood is stronger
it has scrubbed it off
Jesus died so we could be clean
By Your grace, we're finally free

(Outro — slow build, gentle fade)
We're clean we're clean
Between heaven and hell, You broke the chains
By Your blood, we're finally free

Be Still *DEMO*

[INTRO]
Be still and know
Be still and know that I Am

[VERSE 1]
Where you go I will go
From where does the wind start
Always blessed with You in my heart
A still small voice riding on the wind
Guiding my soul back and back again
God my maker, God my plan
Guiding me with a gentle hand

[CHORUS]
Be still and know that I Am
Be still and know that I Am
The grass withers and the flower fades
Birds of the air fed by His rain
All made by His hand
Be still and know that I Am

[VERSE 2]
The trees are bending low and slow
The sky is painted gold
Standing in the open air
Letting go of what I hold
No striving now, no need to speak
Just breathing in Your grace
The wind moves through like a whispered prayer
And I can feel this holy place



[BRIDGE]
He is God, He is God
Every stone and every star
He is near, He is near
Still and near wherever you are
Be still…be still…be still and know

[FINAL CHORUS — Full power]
Be still and know that I Am
Be still and know that I Am
The grass withers and the flower fades
Birds of the air fed by His rain
All made by His hand
Be still and know that I Am

Lyrics
Blessed Beyond Measure *DEMO*
Britton Ferrell

I don't always know the reason why…but I love Jesus
And when I take a long look back on this life He's given me
I can't do nothin' but praise His name

VERSE 1
(Intimate, conversational — like testimony)
I don't know why, but I love Jesus
Lookin' back on life, I see just what He's done
For me and mine through every season
Every storm we weathered, every battle won
And sometimes Lord, remembering just blows my mind
The tender grace He showed me, time after time
Should've been gone not once, not twice, but three
Yet here I stand His mercy still on me

HOOK / PRE-CHORUS
Oh, I tried to make it on my own
Stumbled, flailed and failed just skin and bone
Till I got grown and finally came to see
That nothing good I had was ever just from me

CHORUS
Blessed beyond measure, Lord I don't deserve a thing
Got a wife who is my anchor, my forever queen
Family all around me, friends who help me carry on
Don't want this grace to end this beautiful, unearned song
Every morning that I rise, I bow my head and give Him thanks
Not by my own power, not by my own strength or rank
You know where you owe your life oh, Jesus He is King
Where all is right, and all is well He is everything

VERSE 2
[Grateful, warmhearted — story building]
Now I've got grandkids runnin' through my door
Man oh man, I never dreamed I'd see this day before
God wrote a story I could never understand
He drew the path and led me gently by the hand
Oh whether you are living in the suburbs or the hood
His grace still reaches everywhere, and mercy still is good
Don't matter who you are or how far gone you've been
He'll meet you in your broken place and make you whole again

HOOK / PRE-CHORUS
Oh, I tried to make it on my own
Stumbled, flailed and failed just skin and bone
Till I got grown and finally came to see
That nothing good I had was ever just from me

CHORUS
Blessed beyond measure, Lord I don't deserve a thing
Got a wife who is my anchor, my forever queen
Family all around me, friends who help me carry on
Don't want this grace to end this beautiful, unearned song
Every morning that I rise, I bow my head and give Him thanks
Not by my own power, not by my own strength or rank
You know where you owe your life oh, Jesus He is King
Where all is right, and all is well He is everything

VERSE 3
[Building, declarative — congregational energy rising]
Every day's a gift I know I didn't earn
A living testimony of the lessons hard-learned
His hand was on me even when I chose to stray
His love was so relentless it just wouldn't go away
So now I lift my voice and raise these grateful hands
A humbled, mended man who finally understands
It wasn't luck or fortune, wasn't chance that kept me here
It was mercy, it was Jesus, and the cross that drew me near

BRIDGE [Repeat 2–3x, intensity building each round]
He kept me, oh He kept me
When the tide was pulling me under
He kept me, yes He kept me
Still standing Lord, it's a wonder
All glory, all the honor
Belongs to Jesus my King
I'll spend every breath of this life
Just lifting His name and singing

FINAL CHORUS [Full gospel choir, key change — up a whole step]
Blessed beyond measure, Lord I don't deserve a thing
Got a wife who is my anchor, my forever queen
Family all around me, friends who help me carry on
Don't want this grace to end this beautiful, unearned song
Every morning that I rise, I bow my head and give Him thanks
Not by my own power, not by my own strength or rank
You know where you owe your life oh, Jesus He is King
Where all is right, and all is well He is everything

OUTRO [Slow, tender — spoken as music breathes underneath]
"To every soul still standing when the world said you were finished
To everyone God kept when the enemy declared it over
To the ones who tried it their own way and finally let go
This song is for you
He kept you then
He's keeping you now
And beloved He is not done with you yet

Good in Life (DEMO)
Britton Ferrell

Verse 1
Pale moonlight on the streets
Stained glass shadows on church pew seats
Mothers, fathers, daughters, sons
Fishing stories when day was done
Loved ones gone, but memories stay
They say time heals, but pain don’t fade

Chorus
Be kind, be nice, don’t be a faker
World’s full of selfish takers
But givers shine in heaven’s sight
See the good in life, hold tight
Cars and money won’t save your soul
When the head bows down and knees fold

Verse 2
Goliath standing tall in fear
Slinging stones with faith sincere
Moving mountains, staying strong
God’s Word guiding right from wrong
Bible open on the table worn
Crown of thorns that Sunday morn

Chorus
Be kind, be nice, don’t be a faker
World’s full of selfish takers
But givers shine in heaven’s sight
See the good in life, hold tight
Walk in faith through storm and loss
Jesus died on the cross

Bridge
Rock not sand, anchor deep
Thy rod and staff while we weep
Peace of mind, peace of heart
From creation’s end to start

Outro
Dead and gone, life moves on
Heaven smiling all along

Crown of Life (DEMO)
Britton Ferrell

God says I will bless you
if you don't give up when your faith is tested

God will bless you, good, bad, or sad
Walk strong in faith, hand in hand
All things work for His good and His will
His timing is perfect, in Him be still

Trials and tests will come, no doubt
That's just living life, be strong, don't doubt
Enjoy His blessings like rays from above
Wake every day knowing you are loved

A crown of life His word has promised
Love Him always, be true, be honest
God is for you through thick and thin
Believe in His Son, believe in Him

Persevere, be strong, don't give up
Good days and bad, pray, look up
Know He's here and know He's near
Walk day by day through life, no fear

When the world says no, God may say go
Know it's for Him, in Him we trust
Stay in His word, have ears to hear
Walk in faith, He's always near

A crown of life His word has promised
Love Him always, be true, be honest
God is for you through thick and thin
Believe in His Son, believe in Him

Just always know He's here and near
Walk by faith and not by sight
Be strong in faith and keep it tight

A crown of life His word has promised
Love Him always, be true, be honest
God is for you through thick and thin
Believe in His Son, believe in Him

He's here... He's near
No fear
