"Hold" Lyric Video

Sometimes life doesn't go the way I think it will and can come at odds with my faith. I used to get off track quite a bit but with growth and reflection I have learned to call on God and ask his perspective. After all this life is merely temporary, so this is a song I wrote after reading and meditating on Peter 5:5-14 and Mark 16:15-20. It's a song that deals with the inner turmoil when dealing with people who make themselves enemies. The vocals are melodic but the guitars are aggressive in the chorus so I call it "Metal", but I realize that it is probably mellow to most's standards.









"Hold"

I thought it be a good one
You gave me another day
I came out smiling full of love
But hate was in my face
At first I didn't really care
I tried to slide on by
But the devil kept on dealing
he finally stirred my pride

Hold me back hold me back God
It's all too much I want to tear it down
Hold me back hold me back God
Sick of the beatings and the clowns

It’d gone on too long now
Watch, I’ll give ‘em all their due
For all that hate, they poured on me
Ten fold will be their due
Yeah the devil got me stirred up
But who could say I was to blame
I didn't start this war today
But I can finish it right now

Hold me back hold me back God
It's all too much I want to tear it down
Hold me back hold me back God
Sick of the beatings and the clowns

I’ll keep it easy, keep it small
I’ll try to smile everyday
I’ll try to love each day I’m given
I’ll try to love like you love me
I’ll keep it easy, keep it small
I’ll stay humble all my days
And when I get out of line Lord
Pull me back so I can love again

Hold me back hold me back God
It's all too much I want to tear it down
Hold me back hold me back God
Sick of the beatings and the clowns

But then the clouds they parted
And your Son He Shone to me
I remembered why I love
Slowly peace returned to me
The devil he kept trying
He kept throwing hate my way
but with a smile I’ll carry this cross
God’s in my heart and here to stay

Hold me back hold me back God
It's all too much I want to tear it down
Hold me back hold me back God
Sick of the beatings and the clowns

"Knock" Lyric Video

This is a song a did a "little" ways back. Everyone needs to be knocked off their horse from time to time. Kinda a metal vibe though sung melodically.
