about

Holy Spirit was the first track I began working on for the album. It was the genesis of what would be For Heaven's Sake. The funny thing is, there are at least 30 different version of the song floating out there with friends and family due to me being such a perfectionist when it comes to the music. I've probably tweaked the drums and mix a dozen times and rewrote certain parts of the song until it finally felt ready to release. As simple as the chorus is that was probably the toughest part to come up with. I wrestled with how complicated and melodic I wanted the chorus to be but after playing the many versions I made for my wife this was the one that actually gained her approval lol.

lyrics

First Verse:

We’re taking flights
To reach some superficial heights
Searching for some answers
That don’t lead you straight to Christ
Questioned all our life
is it wrong or is it right?
It’s like a song without a mic
Reciting poems that we ain’t write
But here’s a revelation
The King is growing impatient
This world is dying
You’re Either praying or growing anxious
My gifts too big to wrap (RAP)
Feel the whole genre is dated
and I think we call it trap
Cause the sum of it summons satan
808s & some hats
Have made a way to the back
Of the minds of millions of kids
Who do everything to distract them
From absent fathers whose bids
Left them destitute and detached
So self medicate just to cope
For all the things that they lack
Meanwhile schools are teaching like genders
A social science experiment
Social Media Era
Got people feeling embarrassed to
Follow Jesus in public
And so they claim they just spiritual
Crystals, sage, and a mat
We rely on idols for miracles
Worship people you watch
On computers but they ain’t hearing you
Turn the same ones to rivals
Start trolling all of they interviews
Criticizing their lives
Just to justify how you’re feeling
You need to open a bible
And see how the Holy Spirit moves

Chorus:

Have faith you gotta believe (x4)

Through pressure (gotta believe)
Depression (gotta believe)
Temptation (gotta believe)
Be Patient (gotta believe)
Through Trouble (gotta believe)
Be humble (gotta believe)

[I was tried through fire and heat then grew out the darkness like seeds]

Verse 2:

I got this plot
That I received from the top
A vision so clear you’d think it came out a box
Like a picture uncompressed
And posted without a crop
You know you feeling this ahk
Devils want it to stop
But I’m getting even for all the believers
Who couldn’t see it
Inner demons corroded their spirit’s
And killed their peace
Brothers I used to know
So opposed to coming to Jesus
Despite all of the reasons like
Falling the way the leaves do in
Autumn, all ‘em
Gon need Him
I’m charging all of you people
Who stalling, calling for leaders
Like Paul to follow a Kingdom
I’m all in, sparring with demons
Then raised the bar on you heathens
I came too far to retreat
And my angels all undefeated
So watch me soar on their wings
While I’m hearing
Roars from the bleachers
And more, applause from the ether
The Lord for sure is my teacher
Who poured His oil on my feet
Now I’m sliding all on this beat
I was tried through fire
and heat, then grew out of
darkest of seasons

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Searching for your love
Will it open up?
Blessings from above
Overfill my cup

Have faith you gotta believe...
