Your love is a flood and I drink deep when the tide is up Oh would you flood me too? Saltwater in my blood has made me taste sweet to the world Oh and you taste sweet too This is my deliverance hands held high as you deliver it Oh you have made me a child of God My feet on the ground and my heart in heaven I am bread made without the leaven Oh you have made me a child of God I lay in the sand with sweet forgiveness in my hand Oh as a gift from you Your water floods my brain this grey cranium wont be the same No where I’ve been won’t do This is my deliverance hands held high as you deliver it Oh you have made me a child of God My feet on the ground and my heart in heaven I am bread made without the leaven Oh you have made me a child of God And I won’t go Until I know That you have sown All you have in me

Prophets proclaimed to our fathers long ago To turn from your statues and your idols made of gold Rise from your knees, stop worshiping The splinters of broken gods, turn and see your King There is one God over all kings and rulers And He reigns alone Now we proclaim the same God, the same Word Who stood through the ages, Jesus Christ the Lord Rise from your knees, stop worshiping The splinters of broken gods, turn and see your King There is one God over all kings and rulers And he reigns alone Burn them all down, my God, my God There is one God over all kings and rulers And he reigns alone And the one God over all kings and rulers Will not share his throne

Great God from You there's nought concealed, You seest my inward frame To You I always stand revealed, Exactly as I am Since I can hardly bear, What in myself I often see How vile and dark must I appear Most holy God to Thee? But since my Saviour stands between In garments dyed in blood 'Tis He instead of me is seen When I approach my God When I approach my God Thus though a sinner, I am safe, He pleads before the throne His life and death on my behalf, And calls my sins His own What wondrous love, what mysteries In this appointed shrine My breaches of the law are His, And His obedience mine And His obedience mine But since my Saviour stands between In garments dyed in blood 'Tis He instead of me is seen When I approach my God When I approach my God

Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed Be of sin the double cure Save from wrath and make me pure Oooo, Oooo Not the labor of my hands Can fulfil Thy law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know Could my tears forever flow All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone Oooo, Oooo Nothing in my hand I bring SImply to the cross I cling Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless look to Thee for grace Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me Savior, or I die Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo Wash me, Savior, or I die Wash me, Savior, or I die Wash me, wash me, Savior, or I die Wash me, Savior, or I die Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee Wash me, Savior, or I die

Verse 1: And this is for those who on the road you waking up full of groans Saints of the Most forsaking all you have known The stakes sure have grown debating whether the load that you carry will tarry, your faint fairly alone and frail The opposite of trill in your body shell Our bodies return to the dust that’s why the Body builds Longs for something better without the common thrill Lord just come and get us and do reveal your will Still, we’re awaiting the day Got treasures in jars of clay decaying away Praying and praising in this tent we’re aiming to make God look greater with intent every breath that we take Till we lay in a grave, it’s for His glory alone Still can’t wait till I hear my Lord calling me home Take me away for Your pleasures, Your endeavours looking better That awaits all who trust in the story You told Chorus (Sean C. Johnson): Our hope lies not in what we go through But in God knowing what His goin’ do It’s alright knowing that we won’t move Hope in God 'cos His word is so true We’ll be going away soon He’ll take us up away from all this pain We’ll be going away soon Each day we’ll know His face feel warm embrace I’m going away soon! Verse 2: Afflicted but not crushed, hurt but not forsaken Committed to God’s trust for us there’s no mistaken Depicted in God’s Son on the cross, He demonstrated That real love think of that when devasted And the rain pours and hail storms Calm we know the main source and delve forth Respond like “I’m blessed I don’t mean that material wealth – God’s gift to us is Him giving Himself.” Eternal glory awaits beyond what we compare Co-heirs with the heir we’ll be caught in the air Oh yeah, who dare try take it away from us We’ve heard it in His word, His promises aint budging This commentary aint common but found in the Scriptures And for the listeners who are Christian astound by His wisdom His coming to take us all not one will be missing In an instant we’ll be gone 'cos His word is consistent Chorus (Sean C. Johnson): Our hope lies not in what we go through But in God knowing what He's goin' do It’s alright knowing that we won’t move Hope in God 'cos His word is so true We’ll be going away soon He’ll take us up away from all this pain We’ll be going away soon Each day we’ll know His face feel warm embrace I’m going away soon! Bridge (Sean C. Johnson): Soon, we’ll be going away Standing face to face I can’t wait for that day (x2) I wanna meet the Master Stand right in His presence I wanna touch the Man that saved my soul I wanna see the God that Formed me in His hands and Blew the breath of life right in my soul

Verse 1: Theo, you're my little boy, my lil chocolate, coconut, almond joy You're like my sequel, Me plus your mom minus prophylactic equals - mini melanin What Isaac is to Abraham you'll see the relevance I'm saying, our life was altered when we found we were pregnant Was a ram up in the thicket we were blessed by the presence just to be able to sacrifice 'Cos I want you to know Jesus right now 'cos it's sweeter in the after life There's nothing sweeter than to watch my son lay with my wife While I go off to work 'cos I know that our God will hold you tight And I'm the type to hold a grudge tighter than I grip the mic And as you hold my finger I notice that you and I are alike I pray the apple of my eye falls from the tree And rose farther than preceding father was to be That's why I chose not to name you after me 'Cos you're original - That would be blasphemy And I don't want you to inherit all my atrophy And I don't want you to settle for satisfactory That would be agony But to hold you to a standard I don't hold myself to is a catastrophe And God is changing me now as your example *Yo why you choose to sample that? It's almost like* (When I had you baby) *Yeah, actually this is a pretty good sample* Chorus: Theo you got a gift Theo you gotta give it Theo you got a gift Oh you're God given Theo you got a gift Theo you gotta give it Theo you got a gift Verse 2: Just to let you know you're getting real good genes You're getting true religion But God don't have no grandkids this is your relation-ship You setting sail with the Author of creation don't forget to check your mail You got 66 letters, a Saviour that we nailed to a cross And he lead us Rose from the grave, paid the price, well invested is our Saviour , Lord the Christ, My son, please don't stray away from your father's advice, How come, I love you so much just 'cos you're looking just like your mom Even if I never blow up she will still be the bomb-diggity Uh, you have a friend in me, We are a team, I am the coach, and your mom's the MVP That makes you next up my young 'un You're gonna change the world No pressure, no pressure, no pressure Pushing hard, overcoming And I'm 'ma show you love Interrupt my rhymes just to give papa a hug. Chorus: Theo you got a gift Theo you gotta give it Theo you got a gift Oh you're God given Theo you got a gift Theo you gotta give it Theo you got a gift Oh you're God given

Red Wolf don’t come ‘round here Clawing at my door It’s been four weeks since winter And spring don’t love you anymore The sun comes up, the rooster crows He sings a song of regret I saw the blood-red sun as it rose Your four teeth in my neck The crow caws high above the river I can see your tracks in the snow It’s been four hours since sunset And my daughter still hasn’t come home I fear the worst; I fear she’s dead I fear she’s all alone I hear her there in your stomach Screaming, “I just want to come home”

Verse 1: Do you remember when we were young? When life was so simple and we just had fun Do you remember when we were small? And everything around us was so much taller Chorus: Yeah, we remember when we were younger And all that we wanted was the summer And we don't want to grow cold And we don't want to grow old So we'll just remember when we were young Verse 2: Do you remember when we were kids? And all that we wanted was to go outside with our friends Do you remember falling in love? Passing notes in 6th grade, I got detention everyday Chorus: Yeah we remember when we were younger And all that we wanted was each other And we don't want to grow cold And we don't want to grow old So we'll just remember when we were young Yeah we remember when we were younger And all that we wanted was the summer And we don't want to grow cold And we don't want to grow old So we'll just remember when we were young

“Until the day breaks and shadows flee Turn my beloved, and come to me I’ve made a place for you I have come to the garden To find you here So let me see your face Let me hear your voice For your voice is sweet to me Do you know that You have ravished my heart? Do you know that You have ravished my heart? Yes, you have ravished my heart With one glance of your eye Now, the winter has passed The rain has been and gone I come over the hills to say ‘come away with me my dear, away, come away’ We will be, we will be, we will be together We will be, we will be, we will be forever Would you lift up your eyes to see I am calling you now, to me I have so much more to tell you All that you really believe inside What you see when you close your eyes I have so much more to show you”

about

Dear Listener,

I hope that this mixtape exposes you to some new music - that you may discover musicians and bands you perhaps had not previously heard. If so, I encourage you to look up the artists' other music - use this mixtape as a springboard for hearing more music.

I also hope that this mixtape shows you just how diverse Christian music is - just like the body of Christ which has created it. If there are genres on here that you wouldn't usually listen to, don't just skip past them, try hearing something new! I believe that each genre serves different purposes, thereby meaning that no one genre is necessarily better than another, but each has their own perks.

My prayer is that as you enjoy the music you would pass it to friends, family, colleagues, fellow church goers etc. Please pass it on, these artists work hard and their music deserves to be heard, enjoyed and supported by more Christians.

However, having said that, this music also needs to be shared with people who don't know Christ. It's got a great message and the world needs to hear it, so don't be afraid to play it loud, and share it with those people you'd rather hide it from.

Also a massive thank you to all the artists that agreed to have their music given away for absolutely no cost. Please could you, as a listener, thank them with a purchase, a tweet, a like etc. and let them know it's appreciated by you fans!

Finally, this is a SUMMER mixtape - this will be the soundtrack to my summer and I hope it becomes yours also. Thanks for listening, downloading, and supporting the blog and the artists involved.

In Christ,
