Wrong Faces
"Wrong Faces" came from a thought I could not get out of my brain. We spend so much of life trying to become someone the world will approve of. We learn how to look impressive, how to seem fine, how to sound spiritual, how to walk into rooms with the right version of ourselves showing. Over time, those versions start to feel normal. We get praised for them. We get comfortable inside them. Then, somewhere along the way, we realize we have become very good at appearing whole while drifting farther from the person God has been trying to make useful in His hands. The image that kept coming to me was a hallway full of mirrors. Every mirror offered another face. Another angle. Another version. Another way to be admired, accepted, protected, or understood. Some of those faces looked successful. Some looked holy. Some looked confident. Some simply looked fine. I think that is one of the quieter dangers of this life. The false faces rarely feel false at first. They feel necessary. They feel practical. They feel like survival. Then they get heavy. This song is about the moment when Christ steps into that hallway and breaks the mirrors that have been teaching us how to see ourselves. That line, "Then You shattered every mirror, and I saw Your face in mine," carries the whole meaning of the song for me. Our real reflection is found in Him. We were created in the image of God before the world ever tried to sell us a different face. We have worth before achievement, before applause, before religious performance, before social polish, before anyone decides we are impressive. I wanted this song to feel humble and personal, almost like someone sitting in a room at a piano, finally telling the truth. The point is not self-hatred. The point is surrender. It is the desire to stop rehearsing a version of yourself and let God make you honest, steady, and useful. I believe Christ can reach beneath all the layers we have worn for years. I believe He can restore the face beneath the polish. I believe He can take weak, guarded, prideful, tired people and turn them back toward Him with patience. "Wrong Faces" is my way of saying I want the mirrors broken. I want the borrowed smiles laid down. I want my hands available to God. I want my life to reflect Him more than it reflects my fear, ambition, insecurity, or need to be seen. And when all the false reflections finally fall away, I hope what remains looks more like Christ.
Almost
"Almost" is one of those songs that made me laugh a little while writing it, mainly because it exposed me so badly. The whole idea came from that line: procrastination is the arrogant assumption that God owes me another opportunity to do what I already had time and opportunity to do. That line hit me right in the ribs. Because I can dress procrastination up pretty well. I can make it sound responsible. I can make it sound like timing. I can make it sound like discernment. I can even make it sound spiritual if I'm really trying to fool myself. And that's what this song is really about. It's about the way I can spend half a day preparing to do something instead of doing the thing. Rewriting the list. Thinking about the call. Cleaning some random drawer that has apparently become the most urgent drawer in human history. Suddenly I'm organizing paper clips like my eternal salvation depends on office supplies, when the real thing I'm avoiding is sitting right there, looking at me. That's the funny part. The serious part is that I know better. I know when God has already put something in my heart. I know when the Spirit has already pressed something on me. I know when I need to apologize, make the call, start the work, put the phone down, stop hiding, or finally step into whatever I keep circling. Most of the time, I am not confused. I just want the comfort of delay without the guilt of disobedience. That is a brutal little mirror. "Almost" became the word for that whole pattern. Almost got up. Almost changed. Almost did what I said I'd do. It sounds harmless at first. It even sounds close to progress. But almost is dangerous because it gives you just enough motion to feel innocent while you stay in the same place. That's where the song gets personal for me. I don't think God is sitting there furious because I didn't complete some perfect productivity checklist. I think He is inviting me to stop wasting the actual life He keeps handing me. The life in front of me. The people in front of me. The work in front of me. The small act of courage I keep treating like it's a mountain. That's why I didn't want this song to sound like a cheesy motivational poster or some Christian TV opening theme from 1994 where everybody is smiling way too hard in khakis. This needed to feel human. It needed a groove. It needed a little humor. It needed that uncomfortable feeling of realizing the song is kind of fun, and then suddenly it's calling you out. Because that's how conviction usually works for me. It doesn't always show up with thunder. Sometimes it shows up while I'm avoiding something obvious and God quietly lets me hear my own excuse out loud. And once I hear it, I can't unhear it. This song is my way of saying I'm tired of being impressed with my own almost. I don't want to almost be faithful. I don't want to almost be present. I don't want to almost be obedient. I don't want to keep asking God for new chances while casually stepping over the one He gave me this morning. "Almost" is funny because it is painfully familiar. It is honest because I am guilty. And it is hopeful because the moment I stop making peace with almost, I can actually move.
Forgot the Famine
I wrote this song after reading Deuteronomy 8, where Moses warns the children of Israel about a danger that comes after survival. It is the danger of being blessed, becoming comfortable, and slowly forgetting the God who carried you when you had nothing. That hit me hard. There is something very human about praying with real hunger, real fear, and real dependence during the hard seasons, then getting to the other side and slowly letting pride rewrite the story. We start calling mercy "timing." We call provision "strategy." We call deliverance "hard work." We forget the famine when the table gets full. This song is about that quiet drift. It is about the person who once prayed over unpaid bills, uncertain outcomes, broken plans, and impossible roads, then later finds himself surrounded by blessings and begins to believe his own hands created all of it. That is a dangerous place for the soul. Prosperity can be beautiful, but it can also become blinding when gratitude starts to fade. The message of "Forgot the Famine" is not that wealth, success, ambition, or progress are wrong. The warning is deeper than that. The warning is about forgetting. Forgetting who opened the door. Forgetting who gave strength when there was none left. Forgetting who brought water out of stone when there was no obvious way forward. Deuteronomy 8 teaches that God gives us power to prosper, but that prosperity is supposed to point us back to Him. It should deepen our humility. It should make us more generous, more obedient, more aware, and more anchored. When it makes us proud, isolated, or self-convinced, the blessing starts becoming a burden. This song is a confession and a reminder. I need that reminder. I think a lot of us do. Because most people do not walk away from God all at once. Sometimes we just get busy. We get full. We get admired. We get comfortable. We get a little more impressed with ourselves than we should be. Then one day we realize we still have the house, the table, the income, the opportunities, and the applause, but our heart has wandered from the One who gave us breath in the first place. "Forgot the Famine" is meant to bring the listener back to remembrance. Remember the wilderness. Remember the hunger. Remember the prayers nobody heard. Remember the strength that showed up when yours was gone. Remember the hand of God in the parts of your story you could never have engineered by yourself. If this song does anything, I hope it helps people pause before taking credit for miracles. I hope it helps someone look around at the good things in their life and feel gratitude before pride has a chance to speak. I hope it reminds us that everything we build should still lead our hearts back to the Lord.
