No Resistance

verse 1

Disobedient from the start, God's will just ripped apart
Self will and selfishness and an ugly sinful heart
doin' what I like, what I feel, what brings pleasure to me
By what I did, or what I do is HE measurin' me
So much sin stacked up, man I'm filled to bursting
Spiritual dehydration, it's for God's peace I'm thirsting
And hurtin', for certain, drowning in pain
Jesus is the water so I beg for the rain
Let me explain, man, I lived for myself
And broad was my path, I was headed to hell
Don't dwell on the past, or try to rewind it
Cause narrow is the gate but I'm determined to find it

chorus

I'm strugglin' and strivin' for a better existence
God's grace is on me, but I'm so resistant
I'm strugglin' and strivin' for a better existence
God's grace is on me, but I'm so resistant

verse 2
HE never said it would be easy, but HE'd always be there
But so many false prophets, it's best to beware
And if I'm not careful I'll be following idols
Jesus is the only one that earned that title
But HE paid that price, the Father loves us so much
The spirit's touch will guide you if you follow the nudge
But garbage in, garbage out watch yer surroundings
But if you breath in the word brother you'll be astounded
That you found all yer hardship was a pathway to peace
And if you fill yourself with light, the devil has to release
And cease and desist, yeah his influence was strong
But if you take the time to notice God was there all along


chorus

I'm strugglin' and strivin' for a better existence
God's grace is on me, but I'm so resistant
I'm strugglin' and strivin' for a better existence
God's grace is on me, but I'm so resistant


verse 3

If you except the Lord, the devil will attack
But God's grace will show you yer on the right track
And yer ego will tell you an idea that seems proof
But God's will and the Word contains the whole truth
The answer ain't in man, or in any religion
Left or right of the cross, it's your decision
Accept no division., you can only serve one master
Your worship, service and praise is what God's really after
Total devotion, humility, and love
HE don't want you to suffer, but to rise up above
Don't mean life is easy, or even all that great
But if heaven is the fate, then it's worth the wait


chorus

I'm strugglin' and strivin' for a better existence
God's grace is on me, but I'm so resistant
I'm strugglin' and strivin' for a better existence
God's grace is on me, but I'm so resistant

Love the way you sang the chorus, it was a surprise. I love your slower tempo, softer songs. This one had a kind of mystical sounding background sound to it that I liked, too, if that makes any sense. Vocally, sometimes it feels as though you're holding back a bit, and your voice sounds best in it's tenor range. Although, I think you sounded great, especially in the chorus, I'd say, don't be afraid to let it go a little more and express the feeling you have in the music. Great work, I can tell you put a lot of work into this one, loved it.

I kinda have to hold back. I don't have a true studio. I am in my room and I have 15 roommates :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: But I do appreciate yer feedback. Plus I don't feel like I'm a good singer, wish I had someone to work with, but I do give it my all. Joyful noise and all.

15 ROOMMATES!!! Oh my, that aught to be interesting. We do what we gotta do, though. I'm certain the Lord has big plans for you. You have a great big heart, so full of the love that this world starves for. I can hear improvement in your voice each time you record a new song. This one is the best so far, I think. It's exciting to watch you grow and mature in the art that you love so much. Your lyrics rock, too, or should I say rap?

No, rock is in my heart. I just want to play the background for the one true rockstar, Jesus.

Loved this one too and both titles too !!
This a bit slower tempo than "oh no", nice change up.
Your heart runs deep in the flow bro', so glad you share.

God Bless

So grateful you enjoy. If it speaks to even one person it is worth the time to produce it. All glory to the Father.

Everything you post speaks to me...from replies, to music, to things the Lord opens your eyes to, learn much from the Spirit speaking through you. Your sincerity and passion for the Lord always shines through. Hey we're gonna struggle, but hand it over to Jesus and He can work wonders in our lives' through it, from out of it. Your prayers for us through your songs help to build us up, give us hope, knowing full well that you are endurings trials while all at once sharing of yourself...great gifts.

God Bless.

Thank you brother. The encouragement is very helpful. I trust in the spirit to guide.

Interesting style. Kind of a rap and psychedelic rock cross. I do like your lyrics. It is really interesting how tunes are inspired and created, and then how they turn out.

Thank you. It is HE in me that you hear.

Amen to that.
