Walk on Strong (The American Way)

I wrote this song to inspire and encourage We the People who won't fold, won't bend, who stand up and hold their ground, who rise with open eyes, who keep that spark and hold the light when it gets dark, who do their duty, bear the day and walk on strong the American way. To all those true, hard-working Americans who still know who you are; those who stand up now and will carry on somehow.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Sun comes up on a hard-worked field (oh)
Strong decree that will not yield (oh)
Mamas praying by the screen door frame
Daddies still teach that Holy Name
We take the hit, stand back tall
Dust on our hands, we answer the call

[Pre-Chorus]
When the night rolls in
And the call comes near
We don’t fold, we don’t bend
We all face it here

[Chorus]
We the People, stand up now
We the People, hold this ground
Trouble comes, but we rise
With brave hearts and open eyes
We the People, sing it loud
We the People, raise this crowd
Do our duty, bear the day
Then walk on strong, the American way

[Verse 2]
Old red barn with a rusted gate
(Fresh-cut hay) and a dinner plate
Brother’s got scars from a long hard road
Sister keeps faith with her heavy load
We do the work, keep that spark
Hold the light when it gets dark

[Pre-Chorus]
When the storm gets riled
And the shadows cheer
We don’t lose our voice
We stay right here

[Chorus]
We the People, stand up now
We the People, hold this ground
Trouble comes, but we rise
With brave hearts and open eyes
We the People, sing it loud
We the People, raise this crowd
Do our duty, bear the day
Then walk on strong, the American way, hey!

[Bridge]
Let the weary find their flame
Let the broken rise again
Every mile, every scar
Still we know who we are
(Still we know who we are)

[Final Chorus]
We the People, stand up now
We the People, hold this ground
Trouble comes, but we rise
With brave hearts and open eyes
We the People, sing it loud
We the People, raise this crowd
Do our duty, bear the day
Then walk on strong (Walk on strong)
The American way!

We the People walk on strong

[Outro]
We the People (We the People)
Stand up now (We the People)
We the People (We the People)
Hold this ground (Hold this ground!)

We rise!
With open eyes!

Sing it loud!
Raise this crowd!
Bear the day!
Walk on strong, the American way

We the People
Stand up now
We the People (We the People)
Will carry on somehow…

I wrote this song to inspire the true American patriots who won't bow, won't break, and who will continue to speak, bleed and preach what you believe.

If you’re fed-up and tired of being told what to do, for all the rebels who will keep waving that rebel red white & blue, this song’s for you!

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots
Grease on this old ball cap
Mama raised me on hymns
Daddy raised me to scrap
Flag on the front porch
Gun and Bible by my bed
They said “son
In this life
You either stand up or be led”

[Chorus]
I’m rebel red
White & blue
Heartland hard and true
I don’t bow
I don’t break
To the crowd
To the fake
From the fields to the ocean view
We the wild ones
Tried and true, yeah!
Yeah, I’ll speak what I believe
Rebel red
White & blue!

[Verse 2]
Talk big on the coasts
But they don’t know my town
Where the factories closed
And we still hold the ground
We pray for our soldiers
Cheer when they come home
You can call me whatever
But you leave mine alone

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m rebel red
White & blue (hey!)
Heartland hard and true
I don’t bow
I don’t break
To the crowd
To the fake
From the hills and hollers to the avenue
We the few that still push through
Yeah I’ll bleed what I believe
Rebel red
White & blue
You know it’s true

[Bridge]
Raise that flag up higher (higher)
Let the stripes start a brushfire (fire)
If you hate that they stole God and truth
Took prayer out of our schools
Changed our times and laws
Treated us like fools
If you’re fed-up
And tired of being told what to do
This song’s for you
This song’s for you!

[Chorus]
We’re rebel red
White & blue (yeah!)
Heartland hard and true (huah!)
We don’t bow
We don’t break
To the crowd
To the fake
From the backroads to the capital view
We the storm they never knew
Yeah we’ll preach what we believe

If you’re fed-up
And tired of being told what to do
This song’s for you
(This song’s for you)
This song’s for you
(This song’s for you)

‘Cause we’re all rebel red
White & blue, yeah!

You know it
And I know it

We all rebels
Waving that rebel red
White & blue, y’all!

Sing it!

Raise it up
Raise it up
Raise it up high

In the Shelter of Your Wings

I wrote this praise and worship song, altogether inspired by Psalm chapter 61, a song of David. No one knows what music he put his lyrics to, but this is my attempt at doing his words justice in my humble way.

Here is the text of Psalm 61:

Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
For you, God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
Increase the days of the king’s life,
his years for many generations.
May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever;
appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
Then I will ever sing in praise of your name
and fulfill my vows day after day.
I hope this song inspires and blesses you, as the message of prayer, protection and perpetual blessing of posterity inspires me. Remember that our God hears you, leads you, is your rock, your strong tower, and gives you shelter under His wings.
Please share this with whomever you think needs hope, encouragement, healing, protection and perseverance, a reminder of our Lord's love and faithfulness.

[Verse 1]
We are gathered in the waiting
Empty hands
But hearts awake
Every burden laid
In the curse You break
You see the hidden
Every tear that hasn’t dried
You hear the whisper
Underneath our restless minds

[Chorus]
Hear our cry (O God)
Listen to our prayer
Cover every whisper
Our humble plea laid bare
From the ends of the earth (we call)
Lead us to the Rock that’s higher
For You have been our refuge
Strong tower against the liar
We long to be dwelling
In Your house that brings
A mighty refuge
In the shelter of Your wings

[Verse 2]
We are Your children (dust on our knees)
Waiting in silence (holding onto peace)
You know the stories
Names and scars
You keep a vigil
Closer than the stars

[Chorus]
Hear our cry (O God)
Listen to our hearts
Defender when we’re weak
Let us never be apart
From the ends of the earth (we call)
Lead us to the Rock that’s higher
For You have heard our vows
Given us a heritage
Through generations (may they grow)
In Your presence we’ll sing
And take refuge (hey!)
In the shelter of Your wings (oh!)

[Bridge]
If You are for us
Who can stand against?
You, our refuge (righteous)
When we’re waiting
Teach our souls to rest
In You
In You, Lord
We are blessed!

[Chorus]
Hear our cry, O God
Listen to our soul
Appoint Your love and faith
From broken make us whole
From the ends of the earth (we call)
Lead us to the Rock that’s higher (oh!)
For we will ever sing in praise
Of Your Holy name
And repeat our faithful phrase
Your vows fulfilled that bring
A fearless refuge
In the shelter of Your wings

[Outro]
Hear our cry, O God
We long to dwell (dwell)
In Your house forever
And take refuge (refuge)
In the shelter of Your wings
Yes, Jesus
We’ll take refuge
In the shelter of Your wings
O God (O God)
Take refuge (refuge)
In the shelter of Your wings
(In the shelter)
Of Your wings
