Jesus
Our relationship's ellusive
And such a small part of my
Very religious life
Jesus
I'm too my neck in propaganda
Waterlogged with all our
"Jesus substitutes"
That You gave us to lead to You
And I'm getting cold and cynical again
Jesus
I'm so tired from running so fast
Do I really think that You will be impressed
By how I give my best
Even if it is just for myself
But I'm not gonna live for just myself

I recorded these three songs in my basement back in 2003. They were intended to be the first three songs of a whole worship album. . . but we moved to Michigan during the recording and I never finished it! maybe some day. It’s weird. . .I was trying to write songs for the youth ministry (Student Impact) that I was a part of at the time, but the songs ended up being much more personal. it was a real dark time spiritually, and I needed to believe that there was more to God than “some boring, dead religion”. I still need to believe that. There a sadness in these songs that hints at some of the doubt and cynicism bubbling just underneath the smile. But there is also a desperate hope and a reaching upward toward something - SOMEONE - bigger than myself and my perspective. There must be more to life and faith and reality. . .and I want in.
