read a verse this morning, coffee barely kicked in
James said watch my tongue, Proverbs said amen
I tried to scroll past it, but the Spirit wouldn’t budge
Every page kept sayin, “Son, this one’s not a nudge”
Pre-Chorus
I could write a note, or just say “wow”
But you know me better than that by now
Chorus
I wrote a song about that
Yeah, the mess and the mercy too
If the truth hits my front door
I’m gonna sing it through
From the cross to my car ride home
From the Word to the way I act
If it convicts me where I’m at
I wrote a song about that
Verse 2
Men’s group on a Tuesday, folding chairs and truth
Talking pride and patience, and things we didn’t do
Somebody said “love your wife like Christ loved the church”
I laughed, then I winced, then my heart went to work
Pre-Chorus
Grace hit me sideways, sharp but kind
Like “You’re forgiven, now fall in line”
Chorus
I wrote a song about that
About dying daily, rising new
Not just knowing scripture
But letting scripture do
What it does when you stop pretending
And you finally unpack
That the life I’m living better match
The song I wrote about that
Bridge
Faith without works is a beat with no sound
A Bible on the shelf, but it never gets down
I don’t need a halo, I don’t need a mic
Just a heart that repents and a walk that’s right
Still funny, still flawed, still learning the track
Still amazed He keeps calling me back
Verse 3
I’ve written songs about joy, and songs about pain
Songs about sunshine, songs in the rain
But the best ones come when the mirror don’t lie
And the Word says “Son, now try”
Chorus
So I wrote a song about that
About mercy I don’t deserve
About truth that cuts clean
But heals every nerve
If one lost soul hears it
And finds a narrow path
I’ll thank God for the grace behind
The song I wrote about that
Outro
Yeah, I wrote a song about that
Still do, every time I’m cracked
If the Bible speaks and my heart reacts
You know I wrote a song about that
