This is a song that I was used as vessel from the Holy Spirit to write. From the composition to the lyrics, I was led by faith.
This song is written in the same key and bpm as "Jealous Guy" on 'Imagine' by John Lennon and is about the struggle on Earth and how it's not always easy to look to the Lord no matter how strong your relationship is with Him. It's about never feeling like it's enough but knowing that the Lord is enough.
lyrics
I wish it wasn’t hard to see
All I have in front of me
I was there
I was blind
I was un-free
But now I’m with Thee
Now I’m Yours
The Holy One
I was gone
I’m sorry, Son
Everyone may hate me
I’ll find my way
Everyday I try my best
It’s not good enough for me
I wish that I could be You
Jesus, set me free
In these chains I wear, I shiver
Take me out to the Jordan River
And please cleanse me
Jesus, set me free
I’m a bird in Your hand
I’m a married man
I try my best
But it’s not good enough for me
Jesus, set me free
