Aspiring songwriter and father of two. I specialize in Melodic Rock, Hard Rock, and Country music.
(Verse 1)
Sometimes I’m ashamed,
Sometimes I hide behind excuses that are lame.
Sometimes I feel like a fraud
When I come before my God,
So many lies are runnin’ through my brain.
(Verse 2)
Sendin’ up prayers that feel so hollow,
Is my heart really even in it at all?
A spiritual war over who I’ll follow,
Feels like I’m finished before I fall.
(Pre-Chorus)
When the world tells me to run away,
And my flesh keeps sayin’, “Not today,”
I listen for the still, small voice
That tells my heart to stay.
(Chorus)
Even when I don’t… feel like prayin’,
I bend my knee and bow,
To the One who gave His life upon the cross
And rose up from the ground.
Even when I don’t,
Even when I don’t,
Even when I don’t… feel like prayin’.
(Verse 3)
Got a little dust on my Bible,
Gonna wipe it clean today.
This road I’m on ain’t goin’ nowhere,
‘Cause my feet have gone astray.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
When the world tells me to run away,
And my flesh keeps sayin’, “Not today,”
I listen for the still, small voice
That tells my heart to stay.
(Chorus)
Even when I don’t… feel like prayin’,
I bend my knee and bow,
To the One who gave His life upon the cross
And rose up from the ground.
Even when I don’t,
Even when I don’t,
Even when I don’t… feel like prayin’.
(Bridge)
This war inside keeps fightin’ me,
My sin and flesh won’t let me be.
But deep inside, my heart still longs
To know the Lord, to trust His way.
To worship Him, to still obey
The One who bled and paid my debt.
(Final Chorus)
Even when I don’t… feel like prayin’,
I bend my knee and bow,
To the One who gave His life upon the cross
And rose up from the ground.
Even when I don’t,
Even when I don’t,
Even when I don’t… feel like prayin’.
Outro (Spoken / Sung – Soft, Reflective)
(Music strips back)
Even when my words run dry,
And my faith feels worn somehow,
I still come just as I am…
And I bow.

(Orchestral slam, guitar ignites, snare kicks)
[Verse 1 – Marching rhythm, string underlay, gritty vocal]
Steel in our breath, fire in the floor
Carved every scar like a holy war
Drums in our chest, thunder in the dome
We came with nothing—this is home
No idols here, no empty fame
We bleed for glory, not a name
One shot, one vow, one final hour—
We raise our fists in the Cathedral of Power
[Pre-Chorus – Rising harmony, strings + choir]
This ain’t just sport, this ain’t just sound
It’s the place where heaven shakes the ground
[Chorus – Explosive, chant-ready, unforgettable]
Raise it up!
Let the echoes ring—
Every fall, every fight, every broken wing
Raise it up!
Where the fire devours—
We rise, we roar in the Cathedral of Power
[Verse 2 – More melodic, cinematic edge]
Voices like stone, echo the flame
Every cry carved into the frame
This is the sound of never retreating
Hearts on fire. Pulse repeating.
No more fear, no more shame
We sing with blood in our veins
This isn’t luck. This is the hour.
A final prayer in the Cathedral of Power
[Bridge – Slow chant over strings, then explosion]
(Whisper chant (crowd-style):
“Rise... Burn... Build... Break...”
“Faith... Fight... Kneel... Shake...”
(Then full drop with scream or high harmony):
WE.
DON’T.
FALL.
ALONE.
[Final Chorus – Full force, orchestral drums, high vocal harmony]
Raise it up!
Let the echoes ring—
Every tear, every hit, every sacred thing
Raise it up!
Lyrical poets- the demons will cower—
We write our names in the Cathedral of Power
Raise it up!
No turning back—
We’re born for the blast, not the aftermath
Raise it up!
This is our hour—
One last roar in the Cathedral of Power
(Intro – Spoken over sparse drums/guitar]
You talk tough…
Now prove it.
[Verse 1 – )
You seen the fire, now feel the flame,
You throw your hands — I throw the pain.
Blood, sweat, scars — that’s my fuel,
You’re just bark, I’m old-school cruel.
Step in close if you’re feelin’ brave,
But this ain’t a fight — it’s a grave.
You talk big — now swing for real,
Let’s see if you’re forged or if you peel.
[Chorus – Big & chantable]
Get in the ring — let’s settle the score!
One goes down, one walks out the door.
No rules left, no place to hide,
You want war? Well, I brought mine!
Get in the ring — feel every hit,
Every move's got venom in it.
You talked loud, now let’s see you swing…
Get in the ring. GET. IN. THE. RING!
[Verse 2 – Shorter punch]
All gas, no brakes, no fear,
Been brawling with ghosts for years and years.
I don’t flinch, I don't bluff—
So step in close if you think you’re tough.
[Chorus – Repeat w/ bigger backing]
Get in the ring — let’s settle the score!
One goes down, one walks out the door.
No rules left, no place to hide,
You want war? Well, I brought mine!
Get in the ring — feel every hit,
Every move's got venom in it.

[Verse 1]
I used to think I had to clean it up
Wear my best and fake enough
Pray just right, act real strong
Like God would love me if I played along
[Verse 2]
But I kept fallin’ short each time
Tryin’ to earn what ain't ever been mine
Till grace showed up with nail-scarred hands
And broke me down to help me stand
[Chorus]
Ain’t earnin’ this mercy
Ain’t climbin’ no ladder to Heaven
It came runnin’ to find me
When I had nothin’ left to give Him
If love was earned, I’d never make it
But He don’t keep score — He saves me to save me
Ain’t earnin’ this mercy…
It was given at the cross for free
[Verse 3]
I’ve walked through churches feelin’ shame
Thinkin’ I was too far to change
But it ain’t about what I can do
It’s all about what Jesus knew
[Bridge]
I’m not the sum of my past mistakes
He washed it all with amazing grace
Now I walk, not to impress
But to live in love and righteousness
[Final Chorus]
Ain’t earnin’ this mercy
Ain’t workin’ for what’s already mine
It came runnin’ to find me
Through the darkest valley of time
If grace was a wage, I’d never make it
But He poured it out — no way to fake it
Ain’t earnin’ this mercy…
It was finished at Calvary
[Outro – Softly]
No, I ain’t earnin’ this mercy…
It was always meant to be free
[Verse 1 – Gritty, heavy riff underneath]
They deck the halls in neon lies,
With gift wrap dreams and empty skies.
They praise the sales, ignore the cross,
Abandoned the King, when truth got lost.
They sing the songs but miss the point,
Buy joy in bulk, break what they anoint.
But a manger bathed in Heaven’s light —
Is what split the darkest night.
[Chorus – Gang vocals, fists in the air]
This ain’t about tinsel, ain’t about snow!
It’s the blood of the Savior that made us whole!
They can keep their lights and greed and spin —
But real Christmas starts within!
He came to die, to pay the cost —
Not to fuel your Santa gloss!
So turn it loud, let truth ignite —
This holy fire on Christmas night!
[Verse 2 – More aggressive, tighter rhythm]
They’ve got elves and aisles full of gold,
But no room for the story to be told.
No star, no straw, no trembling fear —
Just noise that drowns what we should hear.
But I’ve seen glory in the dirt,
A Savior born to bear the hurt.
Not wrapped in bows, but thorns instead —
The gift that gave life to the dead.
[Bridge – Spoken over distorted, atmospheric breakdown]
He left the throne... for the tree.
Born to die — for you and me.
Don’t sell the season short and sweet…
This is war. This is mercy. This is majesty.
[Final Chorus – Bigger, louder, double-time ending]
This ain’t about tinsel, ain’t about snow!
It’s the blood of the Savior that made us whole!
He crushed the dark, He split the veil —
The Son of God would not fail!
So trade your sugar-coated lie —
For the truth that never dies!
This is Christmas: raw and real!
Forgiveness born, the scars will heal!
[Outro – Repeating hook, fading into gritty silence]
[Verse 1 – Soft, orchestral beginning]
He left the throne of Heaven high
For straw and stone beneath the sky
No velvet robes, no royal bed
But a manger laid where cattle fed
[Verse 2 – Guitars rise, drums build]
The stars stood still, the angels sang
But we sell plastic gifts and candy canes
We chase the lights, forget the Lamb
Trading holiness for empty hands
[Chorus – Full band + orchestral swells]
This is Christmas — not silver and gold
But mercy born into the cold
The Son of God, the King of grace
Left Heaven’s throne to take my place
So don't bow down to flashing signs
Come kneel before the gift divine
This is Christmas — the holy flame
He came to die… and rose again
[Verse 3 – Strings + clean guitars]
He wore no crown — just thorns and pain
He bore the cross, endured the shame
The child they wrapped in swaddling cloth
Would crush the curse and pay the cost
[Bridge – Spoken Scripture over cinematic build-up]
“And the Word became flesh… and dwelt among us…”
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David…”
…a Savior — who is Christ the Lord.”
[Final Chorus – Soaring, epic, with full choir]
This is Christmas — not comfort and noise
But Heaven's cry above the toys
The Son of Man, the Lamb once slain
Was born to break our every chain
Forget the glitter, forget the store
Come find the King worth living for
This is Christmas — the Truth, the Light
God with us… that holy night
[Intro – distorted siren + industrial stomp beat]
LET'S GO!
Blood on my boots, fire in my chest,
I don’t need luck — I came here blessed.
Every scar, every swing,
Made me king of everything.
They wanna break me? Too late for that.
I don’t bend — I push right back.
I was forged in the fire, shaped by pain,
Now I fight like thunder through the chains.
[Pre-Chorus – growling build]
Hold your breath when the lights go black...
'Cause I ain’t losing — I was built to attack!
[Chorus – anthem-style, chantable, arena echo]
I WAS BORN FOR THIS!
Built to bleed and rise again.
I WAS BORN FOR THIS!
A storm of steel beneath my skin.
I DON’T RUN — I DON’T MISS —
GET OUT THE WAY — I WAS BORN FOR THIS!
[Verse 2 – faster, urgent]
Step in the ring and the crowd ignites,
I don’t fear death — I feed off fights.
Every roar fuels the flame,
Every fall just builds my name.
This ain't a game, it's war with pride,
And I don't tap, I don't hide.
From bell to bell, I'm on the hunt —
And I don’t stop till I’ve won.
[Pre-Chorus – shout layered]
Turn it up when the fire hits —
We ain't here to quit — WE WERE MADE FOR THIS!
[Chorus – even bigger]
I WAS BORN FOR THIS!
Raise the lights and bring the pain!
I WAS BORN FOR THIS!
I was forged in fight and flame!
I DON’T FALL — I DON’T MISS —
ALL IN, ALL OUT — I WAS BORN FOR THIS!
[Bridge – breakdown + crowd chant]
FIGHT! ROAR! BREAK! SCORE!
FIGHT! ROAR! BREAK! SCORE!
BORN FOR THIS — AND NOTHING LESS!
I’LL WEAR THE CROWN — YOU TAKE THE REST!
[Final Chorus – full choir of chaos]
I WAS BORN FOR THIS!
Every hit, every scar, every win!
I WAS BORN FOR THIS!
Let the RAW begin again!
NO MERCY — NO FEAR — NO QUIT —
SAY IT LOUD — I WAS BORN FOR THIS!
I was BORN for this…
[Verse 1]
You called me every night
Said I saved you from the dark
You made me think I was the reason
You remembered who you are
You held me like I mattered
Said my name like a prayer
But love doesn’t vanish
Just because no one’s there
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see it clearer than before
You weren’t healing — you just hated being bored
[Chorus – Emotional Punch]
You weren’t in love, you were just lonely
Needed a body, not someone who knows me
Said all the right things, but they weren’t real
You wanted warmth — not how I feel
You called it fate, I called it home
But now I sleep in a bed alone
It wasn’t love
You were just lonely
[Verse 2]
I gave you all the pieces
You gave me borrowed time
I thought I was your forever
You just needed a place to hide
You wore me like a winter coat
When the nights got cold and long
But you never stayed for spring
You left before the thaw
[Pre-Chorus – variation]
You weren’t broken, just afraid
Of facing silence your own way
[Chorus – Repeat with more power]
You weren’t in love, you were just lonely
I was the shelter, not your only
You needed comfort, not a heart
You made me fall — then fell apart
You kissed me like a safety net
But vanished when the fear reset
It wasn’t love
You were just lonely
[Bridge – soft, near-whisper]
You told me I saved you...
But maybe that was me
Holding up the weight
While you walked free
[Final Chorus – Stripped + Rebuild]
You weren’t in love, you were just lonely
And I was the one who paid it slowly
You needed something to feel alive
I needed someone who’d really try
And maybe that’s the price you pay
For loving someone who won't stay
It wasn’t love
You were just lonely.
(Verse 1)
Sometimes I’m ashamed,
Sometimes I hide behind excuses that are lame.
Sometimes I feel like a fraud
When I come before my God,
So many lies are runnin’ through my brain.

But we sell plastic gifts and candy canes
We chase the lights, forget the Lamb
Trading holiness for empty hands
[Chorus – Full band + orchestral swells]
This is Christmas — not silver and gold
But mercy born into the cold
The Son of God, the King of grace
Left Heaven’s throne to take my place
So don't bow down to flashing signs
Come kneel before the gift divine
This is Christmas — the holy flame
He came to die… and rose again
[Verse 3 – Strings + clean guitars]
He wore no crown — just thorns and pain
He bore the cross, endured the shame
The child they wrapped in swaddling cloth
Would crush the curse and pay the cost
[Bridge – Spoken Scripture over cinematic build-up]
“And the Word became flesh… and dwelt among us…”
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David…”
…a Savior — who is Christ the Lord.”
[Final Chorus – Soaring, epic, with full choir]
This is Christmas — not comfort and noise
But Heaven's cry above the toys
The Son of Man, the Lamb once slain
Was born to break our every chain
Forget the glitter, forget the store
Come find the King worth living for
This is Christmas — the Truth, the Light
God with us… that holy night
