1. Can't write with my right right now
 Use what's left of my left right now
 Doesn't mean that it'll stop me doing whatever You's got me doing
 To my best and I will never pipe down
 You said I'll do it, I do it, coz You know that I can do it
 Wouldn't be here if You knew I couldn't battle through it 
But maybe this just battle scars, here to prep my heart
 Telling me that You won't forget to have my back from start
 They say sticks and stones break my bones, but You're the One to mend it While I was fighting sin it was me that You defended
 You took the pain for us guaranteeing death amended 
But some ignore Your pain and I can feel that You're offended 
You came for the lame and the low and the meek and
 We ain't playing cards but You know I got a weak hand
 You promised all things if we first seek this
 You can make a miracle from weakness Chorus. You were broken so that I would be whole 
And you bled so it would clean up my soul 
There is nowhere else now for me to go
 So I give it up to you to control 
Fix me like broken bones 2. One time payment for it all to be mended 
And despite my name being Ralph, I dont wanna wreck it 
But feeling just to rock it like Jeremy Lin
 York'n feel New but Housto-never die in their sin?
 Uh, You never fail me. You are breath of life I need
 To keep the blood pumping through my capillaries Jehovah Rafa, Your body broken so that healing power could be flowing out to work in all those who need it
 Not just physically, but even spiritually
 You'll even help us make a change more seriously 
Whatever the problem is, You have the answer ready for me 
Right from the start to finish and everything in between
 So, go ahead and take the first position 
I trust You as the doctor when You make an incision, uh 
Lead the way and guide the path for me
 Coz I'm coming after You like the letter V
2.
1. Here I am again, nothing new to You 
I bet You're sick of this, trust, i'm sick of it too 
It's like I'm always on repeat of what I go through 
I can't take it, but i guess You already knew
 Where's that endurance that You promised me
 And that assurance in the battle that You'd cover me
 See, I cant really blame You, You ain't do nothing wrong
 But I cant stand to be left broken when I'm on my own
 I got some minor problems and some major ones 
But if I tell other people they'll just start making fun 
Once I open my mouth I sense that insecurity But You with all Your purity can break what is obscuring me
 A break is what I need 
But You have said that You would strengthen me in all I do, the outer shell withstands the heat 
But what's the point if the contents is a mess? 
And You already know in all of Your omniscience Chorus. Coz I'm see through, everything is displayed
 See through, nothing I can hide away
 You see me through every time, everyday
 See through me, through me like an XRay 2. What can I keep from You? No point trying to hide
 Running in circles when I should run to the El Shaddai
 Not someone else, should I feel like it's its hell, should I
 Know what to say, because I don't, and I don't want to die 
And death is payment for the wrong things I be clenching on 
But there's no fair trade way where I could sell them on 
You have better offer, a life guarantee
 Free from everything, even the price is free 
I'll take the offer if it still stands
 And place the rest of what is on my back into Your open hands 
Still I don't get that, You'd take me even though my heart is straight black With everything you know of me, You're not expecting payback?
 What's it that you expect? You know I'm just a mess 
Your offer states that You can help me to relieve the stress You know everything, every burden, every test 
Broken by myself, so please take care of the rest

1. Why'd everybody clown Rodney King When he said that "Why can't we all get along" thing?
 Man, it makes perfect sense to me
 But history tries to show us it wasn't meant to be 
And I agree with Jim Morrison, people are strange 
And some of 'em are even worse, like they're evil and deranged
 Funny thing is that no one even knows it
 That they may be twisting messages from the pulpits
 Teaching us not to love but to be haters
 Making war in the name of the Creator 
As if God's on both sides
 But the truth is God told us that we should "Love both sides"
 Yeah, I know it sounds naive 
But I'm thankful for every single breath I breathe
 And I wouldn't want it taken just for the hell of it
 Truth be told, we would all benefit from more love Chorus. It's all love
 Why can't we just love?
 When push comes to shove I wish that it was all love 2. But we glorify hate 
As people want to embrace the dumb and natural state
 Where we send kids out to war to die greatly misled 
by sentences intentionally misread
 Technological advances are major
 But we seem to never get past human nature
 We're taught the rhetoric, "Love thy neighbour" 
But counteract it by that thug-like behaviour 
And as we spread more fear
 We see the the end of the tunnel lighting up more clearly, uh 
And that's a true threat
 Coz we ain't invented a weapon we ain't used yet 
And on that fateful day that the world ends
 Will we remember life or our true friends
 And what would be the last thing you'd do
 Before you'd be taken away for your destiny and experience the Lord's true love 3. That covers up a lot of things but this
 Means nothing if you ain't got Him, rubbish
 Might even feel at times that it's hopeless
 Damage that's done like my past weeks of brokenness 
But still I live life and endure the pain
 Coz it works through me like an XRay
 Teaching us to develop ourselves
 And how to love us and everyone when no one else will
 And that's what I'm trying to focus on more 
I guess that's what I wrote this song for
 Being incapable of doing things got me
 Thinking how I can love it all the way God sees 
Coz when people do what they love they unknowingly
 They make every task involved become poetry
 And I'm done with the hate
 I just want to laugh in the sun, have fun, generate more love

Open Gospel 03:37
1. Don't judge me coz i used the beat of a viral epidemic
 Call it lazy or creative, crazy, cool or academic 
But for now let's have some fun, just coz we know Him doesn't mean we can't
 So get up on your feet or bounce in your seat, lemme make this thing angelic 
Coz I got the fire that be burning in my soul
 Got me writing all these bars and you know I'm on a roll
 And I'm out the red cast with some healing bones 
Thanking GOD, He the CEO 
In reality I'm tryna get you all to know 
There's a God and a heaven where you want to go 
You already a believer if you're saved through grace
 Coz He took your place, died and rose Pre-Chorus. So while we living 
Let's keep believing 
John 3:16 So while we living 
Let's keep believing 
John 3:16
 And put Him first like Matthew 6:33 Chorus. Open Gospel style 
Eyyyyyyy saying Amen 2. Ready steady get set go, let's carry out the Great Commission 
Let's go let it out and rise like it's a CO2 emission
 But this ain't no pollution, no allergen like nuts and gluten
 We got Him who when you have a problem, He has the solution You gotta know that my Lord above all
 Is ever living and cause all the demons to fall and if a living creature doesn't give Him praise up in the place
 He'll take a rock and make it bow down in awe 
Know that He be worthy to be glorified 
By His rule we should all abide
 Listen now, do or die
 Coz this ain't going on Spotify Bridge. Get it on, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John 
And we gon bust the Kingdom skank from night till morn Get it on, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John 
And we gon bust the Kingdom skank until the morning
 You gon learn today!

Battle, first thought, what's your weapon of choice? Double-edged sword spoken out of God's own voice Written into the Scripture, I really wanna get you Reading in between the lines and see the bigger picture Get you thinking quite deep into what it really means It makes you watch His Words like karaoke machines God's Word is more important than just words on a bit of paper Truth when He said "I'll be back". Terminator Some skipped a page and never read the others And some intend to never even open the cover They build their own God that only satisfies their wealth Believing there isn't a God because their God is themselves See they say He don't exist coz of the mess we're living in Saying that if God is there why do calamities begin? Humans chose to rebel thinking they were correct Then the world had no controller, xbox kinect A sense of loss turned into abuse of free will Now they have the cheek to question God's activity still Hearts are like concrete, it seems like they never will Open their head with His two-edged sword, Kill Bill Lucifer's on a kill streak, Call of Duty But we serve a greater God and this is our call of duty It's a modern warfare, but we know the truth and truly God will be our strength, fear not, Scooby Dooby Do the will of the Lord, get with the Trinity See what God has done for His sheep through the history Run with Him, leave your past happiness and misery God is for us so be sure us soldiers got the victory Who can be against us? Hear my epitome Once I am on God's side no one can belittle me Will this be your discovery? I really hope you're gonna see The light inside His glory, fix your eyes to this epiphany Run with Him, leave your past happiness and misery God is for us so be sure us soldiers got the victory Run with Him, leave your past happiness and misery God is for us so be sure us soldiers got the victory!

about

An old project released in 2013, re-released here on Bandcamp for you!
This whole EP project was written during the time I was recovering from breaking my right hand. I felt useless as I wasn't able to play my guitar, or keyboard, or perform anything musically; not even hold a mic in my dominant hand!
But through the struggle of not being able to perform music, I didn't want it to hinder me from expressing my love for God and music, and I took the time while recovering to be creative and write these songs and record them whilst having a cast on.
As soon as the cast came off, I was released from that bondage and limitation, and this EP project was also released.
For anyone who has felt hindered, just remember that it may be your growing and reflective time with God, and you can use the opportunity to be creative.
