We Gotta Do Better

"Be better. Get better. Wake up world."

An opening summons rooted in James 1:27 — ‘pure religion’ looks after orphans and widows in their distress. A call to wake up, do better, and show up for the half a million foster kids waiting on God's people.

Listen — VOL 2 Master

We Gotta Do Better

0:00 / 0:00
[Intro]
Father GOD…This world is a beautiful mess,
We know anything good has gotta be from you,
James said it, “Pure religion is this:
To look after orphans and widows in their distress.
We Gotta Do Better, Be who you made us to Be,

[Chorus]
We Gotta Do Better,
Be Better, Get Better,
Wake up world, these Foster Kids deserve better,
Seems like forever they’ve been broken from the world’s tether,
You showed us it was temporary, gave us a family forever,

[Verse 1]
So take care of all in the world like we'll live forever,
Thoughts of possibility, rejecting the never,
Cutting demonic ties we need to sever,
No trickster short cuts, it’s a pleather Holy endeavour,
You say you didn't know but now you know,
Will you stand for truth or go with the flow?
Will you partake in the world's side show?
Are you with the One or the 99 in a row?

[Pre-Chorus]
Stop cutting spiritual corners, start being thorough,
Believe He drops the past and allow your spirit to grow,
His Holy Spirit comforts those about rupture, ready to blow,
You’re a masterpiece made in his image,
Unique, not some John or Jane doe,

[Chorus]
We gotta do better,
Get better, Be better,
Wake up world cause the waiting feels like forever,
Half A Million Hearts waiting on GOD’s Holy treasure,
Tending to the fatherless, His Love knows no measure,
So be the change for someone, make that your guilty pleasure,
Just Do Better, Yeah, We gotta do better,

[Verse 2]
Can you break bread with an enemy, forgive a foe?
Will you think thoughts of gratitude, not impending Woe?
Have the strength to halt any mighty winds that Blow?
Tame ya tongue and speak his Seeds to Sow,
So Tame your tongue, flow words of peace,
Help all trafficked victims find their release.
Feed the hungry, shelter the lost in the street,
Your love can be the crossroad where grace and mercy meet.
Cause we Gotta do better,
Speak the truth, Never be a deceiver,
Take your starting role or be a reliever,
Turn the skeptic into a believer,

[Pre-Chorus]
Double check alignment with GODs endeavour,
Lord's jackpots waiting, just pull the lever,
Tithing to the fatherless, saving a soul that needs,
A helping hand, saving grace, just planting his seeds,

[Chorus]
Cause we gotta do better,
Jesus expects more from his peeps,
Gotta do better cause what we sow humanity reaps,
Halt our reckless spirit, get em on heavens path,
Make a move to save them from Satan’s impending wrath,
Let’s Do Better,
We Gotta Do Better,

[Bridge]
So cushion someone's fall,
If asked in the name of Jesus, give away it all,
Help the low feel tall,
Remind us of the beauty we once saw,
Preach the gospel like apostle Paul,
Respect the Word, it's God's law,
Have unbridled faith in his promises like his brotha Jude,
Toss all negativity, You’re equipped with Holy attitude,
It's about forgiveness, drop that family feud,
Show em ya Love, From longitude to latitude,
Avoid too much social, the Bible is where to get glued,
No more taking Jesus name, ain't nothing but lewd n crude,
(Boom)

[Chorus-Outro]
We gotta do better,
Be better, get better,
Wake up world let’s be in this together.
Heaven’s Hands reached down, rescued by Our Creator,
He’s the ties that bind we’ll never again sever.
We gotta do better.
Lord, Make us do better, Amen.

Track 02

Every Kid Deserves a Home

"Half a million kids. Every kid deserves a home."

A naked-honest plea for the lost, the aged-out, the trafficked. ‘Every Kid Deserves a Home’ names the failures of a system and the responsibility of a society to make it right.

Listen — VOL 2 Master

Every Kid Deserves a Home

0:00 / 0:00
[Verse 1]
Never imagined growing up with no Ma, PA, Bro or Sis,
No stable home, burnt to a crisp, something's amiss,
No help, love or hope, felt like an eternal diss,
Just having a place that’s permanent would feel like bliss,
The Word calls us the Fatherless, GOD blessed, GOD send,
The forgotten, lost one's we're called to defend,
Hidden in plain sight, wake up world, stop playing pretend,
Just Imagine doing holidays without any cousins or best friend,

[Pre-Chorus]
Navigating the darkness of the system and trail of abuse,
Discarding Old ways serving no purpose, have any use,

[Chorus]
Every Kid deserves a home,
Half a million kids in the wilderness left alone,
Where is our humanity? Should send chills through our bones,
Time to make a difference, show love, pure heart,
Might be your final role in this movie so go for it, play your part,
Time to show compassion, ask forgiveness, no more evil heart,
May your actions be the difference maker, give Foster Kids a jump start,
Lord let’s get them a home, never again falling apart,
This time we repent, we heal, we atone,
It’s about time, cause Every Kid deserves a Home,

[Verse 2]
Every 2 minutes another Child’s lost within,
Tripping over hurdles, statistics looking grim,
Cause Every Kid deserves a Home and a Family,
Half A Million kids lost in the system, world’s blind eyes can’t see,
PTSD, Homelessness, so much more to say,
Ageing out, doing without, the usual damage of the day,
Human Trafficking, lives ruined, no one’s looking for you today,
How can we ignore, will we stay blind another day?
Cause these Kids are really just you and I and that’s not okay,

[Pre-Chorus]
Your story rewrites between the begging & the end,
Putting past trauma on the mend,
Mentally flexible, we bend,
Upon his promises we depend,
No more playing pretend,
Kids lives senselessly being Ruined,

[Chorus]
Cause Every Kid deserves a home,
Half a million kids, left on their own,
Feeling invisible, forgotten, all alone.
Never saw the problem, man we should have known,
Rise Up now, this is our wake up call,
Every Kid deserves a home, not some but all,

[Bridge]
Change those laws forever protecting,
Doing away with those predators molesting,
Kids need us now, no time for market testing,
Angels carry the Lord’s blessing,
No longer 2nd guessing,
A stable home for a child, we’re progressing,
Prayer is our answer to manifesting,
Darkness overcome by Holy Spirit light illuminating,
Send out that ripple, see it pay back and tripled,
Families reunify, Jesus heals what once was crippled,

[Final Chorus]
Revealing the system’s darkness and the trail of abuse,
Discarding old ways that no longer serve the people or bear any use,
Pass it on, spread the word, share ya Holy Spirit and joy,
Make a difference, help find a home for an orphaned girl or boy,
Cause Every kid deserves a safe place to experience security,
Man, don't we all deserve to be part of a loving family?

[Outro (Spoken)]
Let's break the chains of the system and set them free,
Amen.
(Boom!)

Track 03

Peace in the Heart

"Healing starts with Jesus — and the love I receive."

A meditative confession on doubt, betrayal, and the slow learning of how to receive love after the system has bruised the giver. Peace isn't pretended — it's breathed in, slowly, like autumn light.

Listen — VOL 2 Master

Peace in the Heart

0:00 / 0:00
[Verse 1]
Why do I still doubt, I want so hard to believe?
Lookin' in their eyes, hard not to feel deceived,
Not wired for the lies, just want some good reprieve,
But this heat I keep takin on’ — way more than I can grieve,
Gave too much of me away, encouragement to a thief,
No magician’s trick, there’s nothing up the sleeve,
System let me down again, time I choose to leave,
I’ve got God's protection — that’s all I need to believe,

[Chorus]
Let peace in the heart be the rhythm I breathe,
Let the weight of the past, fall like autumn leaves,
No more anger, no more war, just a soul that seeks relief,
I’m not chasing false love — I’m learning to receive,
From the Father who stayed, when the world let me go,
Through the fire and the silence, He’s the one I’ve come to know,
In the foster storms of life, He taught me to believe,
That healing starts with Jesus — and the love I receive,

[Verse 2]
Felt like Adam without Eve, lost in make-believe,
Tangled up in trauma, still trying to break free,
But God don’t waste the pain, there’s redemption underneath,
Even when I doubted Him — He never stopped loving me,
Was playin' the background, now I’m called to lead,
Used to hide my heart, now it’s the part I let them read,
Pain made me small, now grace helps me exceed,
He gave me back my song, and a new soul to feed,

[Chorus]
Let peace in the heart be the rhythm I breathe,
Let the weight of the past, fall like autumn leaves,
No more anger, no more war, just a soul that seeks relief,
I’m not chasing false love — I’m learning to receive,
From the Father who stayed, when the world let me go,
Through the fire and the silence, He’s the one I’ve come to know,
In the foster storms of life, He taught me to believe,
That healing starts with Jesus — and the love I receive,

[Bridge]
Let me love like I’ve been loved,
Not from fear, but from above,
No more gocart soul, I was made to ride in love,
I’m not the invisible man, I was made to stand and shine,
Fostered by the Holy Spirit — healing in His time,

[Final Chorus + Tag]
Let peace in the heart be the rhythm I breathe,
Let the past be a story, not a chain on me,
I’m not who I was — I’m free to believe,
This ain’t just survival — it’s the love I receive!
It’s the love I receive...
From God, through it all
Let peace in Ya heart — it’s the love I receive!

Love One Another

"This is how we love one another."

A house-by-house, scar-by-scar tour of what love actually does. Built around John 13:34 and the lived realities of foster placement, this anthem refuses sanitized affection — love here is muscle and mercy.

Listen — VOL 2 Master

Love One Another

0:00 / 0:00
[Verse 1]
Daddy was locked up behind cold steel,
Mama couldn’t heal, numb to what’s real.
Another placement, another goodbye,
Another foster home where I learned to cry.
They gave me rules, but not affection,
Taught survival, not connection.
But deep down I still believed,
There’s more to life than being grieved.

[Pre-Chorus]
But You, oh God, You saw me there,
Knitted in the womb with tender care.
You breathed in me that sacred breath,
The same Spirit that conquered death.

[Chorus]
This is how you Love One Another,
When they fall, be the arms that recover.
This is how to break the chain,
Let go of the guilt, let go of the pain.
Anchor to the Lord, leave the past,
Make room for grace that’s built to last.
Even the outcast — make ‘em feel like a brotha,
Yeah, this is how we Love One Another.

[Verse 2]
I've seen trauma dress up as strength,
Kids pushed past their breaking length.
Anger’s just pain wearing a mask,
Begging for love, too afraid to ask.
But healing don’t come through shame,
It’s through mercy and Jesus’ name.
So if you're tired, if you're sore,
Just know you were made for more.

[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t need perfection, just a start,
God turns ash into art,
Every scar that you’ve been given,
Can testify that you’ve been risen.

[Chorus]
This is how you Love One Another,
Hold the wounds of your sister and brother,
This is how the battle’s won,
Not with fists, but with the Son,
Anchor to the Cross, make it last,
Break the silence, speak love fast.
Even the outcast — He died for no other,
Yeah, this is how we Love One Another.

[Bridge]
When the world writes you off,
God writes your name in bold.
When love feels foreign,
His grace still takes hold.
From system scars to holy ground,
We’re proof that love still sticks around.

[Final Chorus]
This is how we Love One Another,
Wash the feet of your sister and brother.
This is how redemption sounds,
From the courthouse to the lost and found.
Anchor to His word, move fast,
Let the Spirit out, make it vast.
Don’t just say it — go and show it, my brother,
This is how we Love One Another.

[Outro]
Even the outcast...
Even the fostered…
Even the broken…
You're my sister. You're my brother.
This is how we Love One Another.

Track 05

GOD is GOOD

"Even in the fire — God is good."

A trumpet-blast of testimony. Sound the alarm; lift the song; remember who picked you up from the courthouse steps and the foster bed. God is good — in the storm and out of it.

Listen — VOL 2 Master

GOD is GOOD

0:00 / 0:00
[Chorus]
You know that GOD is good
Even when you're walkin’ through the fire, through the flood,
He’s the lifeline in the storm, the shelter in life’s mud,
Lift your voice, shout to the heavens and to ya hood,
Yeah, Cuz you know that God is good

[Verse 1]
Sound the trumpets, shout to the sky,
He picked you up, heard every cry,
You Used Him like a wishin’ well—
But still He came when your world fell.
Breathed the wind, stirred the seas,
Chained the devil, set souls free,
No soul for sale, just grace to dwell,
One word from Him breaks every spell.

[Pre-Chorus]
He don’t bring fate, He brings a future,
He don’t just mend, He makes you newer,
Liberty bell cracked, He makes it whole,
With Love that echoes in your soul.

[Chorus]
You know that God is good,
Wonderin’ if you should believe, you should,
From the courthouse steps to a foster bed,
He's the voice that whispers hope instead,
Raise your hands, drop that feeling of dread,
You know that God is good

[Verse 2]
Ezekiel saw it, prophets told,
He’s the same through new and old.
Sight for blind, strength for the weak,
Truth revealed when the humble speak.
On your knees, you’ll start to see,
He’s been there through your history.
Open up your heart, and you will find,
He’s the healer of the broken mind.

[Bridge]
“Is it nature or the Spirit movin’ through the trees?
Is it chance or God’s breath in every breeze?”
Give all glory to the King He’s why we rise,
From trauma, from silence, from the enemy’s lies.

[Breakdown]
He raised us up, breathed us life,
Taught us grace, walked through strife,
He heals the hearts we thought were dead,
And rewrites stories the world misread.

[Final Chorus]
God is good, He’s the spark in the dark,
He’s the home for the homeless, the light in the heart,
Every child in care, every tear you’ve cried,
He’s the Father who never left your side,
So sing it loud, let it be understood,
You know… that God is good

[Outro]
For every kid who thought they were forgotten,
You were never alone,
You were never unloved.
God Is Good!

Track 06

Alone

"Surrounded — yet never alone."

The ache of being seen by everyone and known by no one. ‘Alone’ holds that loneliness honestly until a quieter voice answers — ‘you are loved, My child — you’re still My light.’

Listen — VOL 2 Master

Alone

0:00 / 0:00
[Verse 1]
I feel accused, frustrated, Lord, tell me why
Maybe it’s all the baggage I’ve been forced to hide
Actin’ out like the others, tryin hard not to cry
Anger, tears, and silence — wearin my soul dry
No more safe haven, no place to run
I can’t escape this solitude, not anyone
They said this house was “home,” but it’s just another door
Another fight, another room I don’t feel loved in anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
There was a time I believed in forever
Now it feels like nothin’s holdin us together
We’ve seen the worst, we’ve lost the spark
Once your hug lit the dark… now I’m just fallin apart

[Chorus]
Am I alone, though I’m surrounded?
Hearts around me feel so clouded
Walkin on eggshells, praying for grace
Feelin unseen in this crowded place
But You, oh God, You never leave
You hold the broken, You still believe
Even when I feel unknown…
You remind me — I’m never alone

[Verse 2]
I try to speak, but the words get stuck
Like every thought’s trapped in the hurt and muck
I scream inside, but they don’t hear the sound
Just another kid lost, just another breakdown
I’m boilin over, can’t fake a smile
Feelin like damaged goods on some foster care file
But You whisper truth, Lord, in my quiet night
“You are loved, My child — you’re still My light.”

[Bridge]
You see past the trauma, past every scar
You hold my heart, no matter how far
When the system failed, when the love ran dry
You stood beside me, arms open wide
So I’ll keep walkin, one prayer at a time
Through the fire, through the pain, Your love still shines
They may not get me, may not understand
But I’m not forsaken, I’m in Your hands

[Final Chorus]
I’m not alone, though the world walks past
You are the first to love me last
In the silence, You speak my name
You’re the peace that calms my flame
Even in courts, shelters, and shattered homes
Your Spirit tells me — I’m not alone
I’m Yours, forever known…
Never forgotten. Never alone.

Track 07

Help Me Lord

"I’m still your child — please help me Lord."

A raw cry through dark seasons — New Age detours, broken doors, and the moment God stepped back in. Help Me Lord is the rescue narrative every survivor recognizes.

Listen — VOL 2 Master

Help Me Lord

0:00 / 0:00
[Verse 1]
I woke up cold, the silence loud,
A knock at the door, a thundercloud,
Satan whispering, "You’re mine today”,
Felt like a child with no place to stay,
A deer in headlights, couldn't scream,
Frozen inside a broken dream,
Drowning in New Age lies and fear,
Cried out, “Jesus, are you near?”

[Pre-Chorus]
I let the darkness take the wheel,
What was fake I though was real,
My sealed-up temple now at war,
Till You broke down that cursed front door,

[Chorus]
I cried out, help me Lord, won't You find me?,
Heal me, hold me, come and remind me,
That I'm not lost, not too far gone,
That You’ve been with me all along,
Rescue me from this pain I’ve stored,
I’m on my knees now oh help me Lord,

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I was bait for the devil’s game,
Casting lines with a borrowed name,
New Age job, no blessings came,
Till I cried out, burning with shame,
You poured out grace, I hit the floor,
Felt your mercy, heard You roar,
Said, “Child, you’re mine, you’ve passed the test,
Stand back up, you’ve always been blessed”,

[Bridge (Rap)]
You said you couldn't find Me,
But I never moved.
You just let the world blind you,
And the trauma confuse,
You forgot the church pew,
Believed lies that were never true.
But I was there when the caseworkers failed,
When foster homes bailed,
When nights were long,
And no one cared to hear your tale,
Still, I never let go
You just didn’t know,

[Chorus]
Help me Lord, won't You guide me?
Break these chains still holding on tightly,
I’ve been bruised and I’ve been torn,
But I know You loved me before I was born,
Light the path, soul renewed, spirit restored,
I’m still Your child, please help me Lord,

[Bridge]
Got passed around like no one’s son,
But You called me Yours, said I’m the one,
You place the lonely with their tribe and trusted crew,
Now I fight for every foster kid whose ever felt blue,
You’re the Father the system can’t replace,
The healer of a traumatized face,
And when I cried out, desperate and ignored,
You said, “I’ve been with you through every closed door.”
Yeah every closed door,

[Outro]
Obey Me now, child of Mine
You’ll age in grace like vintage wine
I refined you, I aligned you
I’ve always been right beside you...
Oh Help Me Lord...
You did. Yeah you did, thank you Father GOD!

Spirit Clean

"Polluted, diluted, almost deleted — then He rebooted."

A Psalm 51 confession set to a hip-hop pulse. From threshing-room floor to kingdom throne, the temple gets washed — and the soul gets reset.

Listen — VOL 2 Master

Spirit Clean

0:00 / 0:00
[Intro]
Got my spirit clean

[Verse 1]
The trauma cut deep, carved into in my genes
Never had someone just hear my screams
System shuffled me back and forth unseen
Till God's love hit hard said child where you been?
From the threshing room floor to the kingdom throne
Called me His, said you're never alone
This world's full of fake lights and false themes
But I saw the truth when He wiped my spirit clean

[Chorus]
Washed the lies off my soul, now I'm redeemed
From the trauma, from the pit, from the foster scene
Like the coal on Isaiah's tongue, I found my fire again
No more cutting room floor, I'm living a dream
Praise the Lord, got my spirit clean
Praise the Lord, He got my spirit clean
Got my spirit clean
Psalm 51, got my spirit clean

[Bridge]
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew the right spirit within me.

[Verse 2]
I used to carry rage like a loaded gun
Heart locked up, always on the run
But the Spirit lit a spark, peace had begun
Taught me to fly with love, my story ain't done (yeah, ain't done)
So I dropped the weight, fasted and got lean
No more fake light, there's just darkness between
And now I walk in truth, Holy Spirit keen
Got my spirit clean
Clinging to His word like a baby weaned

[Chorus Outro]
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit whom you have from God?
Spic and span my body, mind, and soul
From the system's grip, from the black hole role
Now I'm steady on the beat, no need for a drum roll
A temple restored, no longer controlled
Hallelujah, got my spirit clean
[choir fades] The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
I was polluted, diluted, almost deleted, but He rebooted
Ground into God, now deeply rooted
My soul was looted, but the Lord rebooted
I was chosen although not undisputed
From victim to vessel, soul saluted
Now planting seeds for the kingdom, I'm a man of God self-recruited

Track 09

Raising Her Up

"Gucci trash bag, doo rag, Holy crown."

A foster girl's coming-of-age told the way it actually happens — trash-bag suitcases, group-home shuffle, and a God who refuses to let her self-worth be set by the system.

Listen — VOL 2 Master

Raising Her Up

0:00 / 0:00
[Verse 1]
Trying to be your average Foster Girl,
Living Not Such a glamorous world,
Rockin’ my Gucci Trash Bag,
People tease me bout my Doo Rag,
Then Child services appeared, tapped me on the shoulder,
Sighed relief then got thrown in the devil's blender,
Chopped and Grated my life into a spicy, spoiled blend,
It was On, Life Got Real, No longer playing pretend,

[Pre-Chorus]
The embarrassment ignites our rage inside,
How can we survive when the system decides?
No More Begging for help or a hand to Lend,
Gods Raising her up, closed eyes getting Opened,
She Could care less that they saw her as a hot mess,
Relieved her tightness when she gave and received forgiveness,

[Chorus]
God's raising her up—
Jesus Finds His way to put her vessel into play,
Clears the past, Raises her up, gifts blessings all day,
Finds his way to raise her up, help her navigate her way,
Feeds her the words to say, even courage to demon slay,
Raising her up from the beginning until the very last day,

[Verse 2]
She’s Planting seeds of faith,
She’s Doing The Lord's Business,
Playing her part,
The Watchers Watch Jesus Raising her up,
No More couch surfing, moving from home to group home,
Still Learning to be a girly girl in this world, I’m not alone,
No More soul crushing memories, waking up on the concrete outside,
No More Watching others with their families and wanting to run and hide,

[Bridge]
(Father GOD Raise Her Up, Praise!)
When God raises me up, I become:
“A Powerful woman of the faith,
A Nurturer, A provider,
My Husbands Co-Creator,
The Determiner and final Decider!
Their Rock and Confider,
The Devil's Exterminator,
His Kingdom Defribulator,
A Bible Study Facilitator,
Someone’s Guider and Liberator,
A Baby Protector,
Purpose Navigator,
Yeah, When God raises me up, I become:
A Prophetess and Lord’s Messenger
God’s Smooth Operator,
A Soul Restorer,
Prayer Time traveler,
I wanna Be a Forgiver, yeah, please Just Forgive Her,”
There’s Nothing greater, No longer be a hater,
Father GOD Raises Her,

[Chorus]
God's raising her up—
Jesus Finds His way to put her vessel into play,
Clears the past, Raising her up, gifting blessings all day,
Finds his way to raise her up, help her navigate her way,
Feeds her the words to say, even courage to demon slay,
Raising her up from the beginning until the very last day,

[Outro (Spoken)]
Lord make me A woman who is:
Always Reachable,
Mostly Relatable,
Kingdom Understandable,
Commandable, Commendable,
Trustworthy and Believable,
A Woman who surrenders to her man..that's debatable,
Make my soul redeemable,
Beyond Capable,
The girl who Beat Em all,
Mom who Loved em all,
(In those days,
Mountains melted, Tears flowed,
Deborah the prophetess arose a mother to Israel)
Amen.

Track 10

Got My Head Straight

"From the chaos to calm — by the hand of God."

Sixty-thousand thoughts, one Father, one anchor. Got My Head Straight is the unwinding of survival-mode into a settled, sober, Spirit-led mind.

Listen — VOL 2 Master

Got My Head Straight

0:00 / 0:00
[Verse 1]
I was lost in the noise, trapped in my own mind,
Sixty-thousand thoughts, racing all the time.
Like a child without shelter in the pouring rain,
I needed more than healing—I needed a name.
They said “You’re forgotten,” but God called me “found,”
Picked me up from the system, set my feet on solid ground.
He said “Child, I see you—let me carry the pain,”
Now I breathe in His mercy, and let go of the shame.

[Chorus]
Got my head straight, found my way,
No more drowning in the lies they say.
With the Lord as my anchor, I’m standing tall—
No more chains, I’ve broken them all.
From the chaos to calm, I’ve been remade—
By the hand of God, I got my head straight.

[Verse 2]
I learned to fast, learned to pray,
Let the Word wash my fears away.
In the silence, God whispered my name,
“You’re not an orphan—you’re part of My flame.”
Like a foster kid waiting for someone to care,
I was yearning for love just hanging in the air.
But the Spirit showed up like a holy hurricane,
Blew through the trauma and soothed my brain.

[Bridge]
Hydrate, meditate, lift your eyes to the Son,
The past is the past—it don’t define what you’ll become.
Lay down the fame, lay down the blame,
Let the Holy Spirit spark that fire again.
No more runaway train, no more guilt or shame,
Now I run this race in Jesus’ name.
I’ve been rooted deep like a balancing crane—
And I lift others up from the wreck and the strain.

[Chorus]
Got my head straight, found my way,
No more drowning in the lies they say.
With the Lord as my anchor, I’m standing tall—
No more chains, I’ve broken them all.
From the chaos to calm, I’ve been remade—
By the hand of God, I got my head straight.

[Outro]
So take pride in your scars, your story, your name,
God don’t make mistakes, not even in pain.
Fostered or fatherless, we all need a flame—
And Jesus is steady when the world brings the rain.
I got my head straight…
And I suggest you do the same.

Empower the Fatherless.

Spiritual warfare is fought in the heavens, but legal warfare is fought in the courts. Every foster youth deserves to know their rights and stand protected under federal & state law.

[Verse 1]
Why do you doubt your spiritual sight?
When you’ve been made of iron, steel, strength and might,
Time to drop the anger and primal need the fight,
Cause you were made as a creature of GODs light,
No need for worry, everything's gonna be all right,
Walk through life's scary moments, never gave us the spirit of fright,
Heaven’s watching, your transforming like a werewolf at midnight,
Jesus made our wrongs right,
Made US a creature of his Holy Spirit light,

[Pre-Chorus]
Bible says, ‘Avoid all things that are Petty and Trite’,
Know the clear divide between what's wrong and right,
Blow Out sin and darkness with God’s light that shines bright,
Foster Kid, you are a creature made of nothing but God’s light,

[Chorus]
Your soul is made impenetrable,
Half A Million Foster Kids Unbreakable,
Overcome all obstacles thru His strength and might,

Surrender ego and pride, no need to fight,
Let your tongue speak a Truth Haiku GOD wants you want to recite,
Hallelujah, In Him we Delight!

Track 12

The Place I Belong

"Finally placed in the Place I Belong."

The opposite of the torture-chamber room is a home written before the foundation of the world. The Place I Belong is the reunion song every fostered heart aches for.

Listen — VOL 2 Master

The Place I Belong

0:00 / 0:00
[Verse 1]
Growing up it was smash, scratch, smack,
Weight on a child in the system, bound to crack,
No building me up, ridiculing how much I lack,
Felt Like a torture chamber rack, another bag getting packed,
Then the Lord whispered Child I see you—
Been anchored to you all along
Seen you In the Spirit judging what's right or wrong,
Pounding your chest prideful like Behemoth or Kong,

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re forgiven sevenfold but that’s no free pass to do wrong,
More of an opportunity to rewrite another heart Song,
Jesus takes the broken, makes them strong,

[Chorus]
The Place I Belong is beautiful,
The light of his flame is undiminishable,
His love Unperishable,
His Glory UnImaginable,
Prayer my Ritual,
We waited for so long for a place to belong,
Then Father GOD placed me in the Place I Belong,

[Verse 2]
The path was slippery, windy, curvy,
Showed me I belonged and was worthy,
Got his promises made before the world was created,
Never again lost, his love for us is undisputed,
Don't need proof in the physical,
I got receipts in the Spiritual,
Some may call it magical,
But now I see it as typical,
Now I’m a verse in the Angels song,
I'm part of GOD'S family where I finally belong,
A Family in Heaven’s Quarters, The Place I Belong,

[Bridge]
Life’s a Miracle,
Beautiful, Emotional,
His word Literal,
Becomes Visceral,
Made me malleable,
Gave me a home in the Terrestrial
A Forever Family in the Celestial,
My Soul salvageable,
Mistakes Redeemable,
Makes life bearable,
New Heights Reachable,
The most Unbelievable, Believable,
GOD makes all things “Able”—

[Final Chorus]
The place I belong is filled with faith and strength,
Family and Friends who protect you at great length,
Feel the Love, Peace, Joy, Hope and Spirit,
In The place I belong, we sing praises and all ears hear it!

[Outro (Spoken)]
John 21:25
“And there are also many other things which Jesus did,
the which, if they should be written every one,
I suppose that even the world itself
could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.”

Track 13

Thank You Jesus, You’re All I Need

"King of Kings, Lord of Lords — You’re all I need."

A full-throated psalm of gratitude. From broken foster child to one rewritten by the cross, this song is the survivor’s thank-you note.

Listen — VOL 2 Master

Thank You Jesus, You’re All I Need

0:00 / 0:00
[Verse 1]
Said Jesus Christ you are my Lord,
Protect me everyday with your blood,
Your word, your mighty sword,
LORD, there ain't no doubt of your protection,
Proof the cross and power of your Resurrection,
Thank You Jesus, you saved my life,
Full of violence, struggle and strive,
I was a broken foster child full of fear,
Lost all hope, but ya love whispered in my ear,
You called me chosen, called me free,
Man, You were always running after me,

[Chorus]
Thank You, Jesus, You never walked away,
When I got tossed, lost and became the devils prey,
You saved my life, rewrote my story’s end,
Gave me hope, gave me truth, gave me strength again.
You're my shelter when I bleed,
You're the Father every foster child needs.
In the darkness, You radiate, we plead,
Thank You, Jesus, you're all I need.

[Verse 2]
You're the King of Kings, set us free,
Lord of Lords, You’re all We need,
You are my God, you are my truth,
Our Creator in Genesis, the fire of Ruth,
You are our GOD,
We give you praise,
Saved us through the nightmares, attacks and tireless days,
And you never left,
Even when the world deceived,
Instead you provided comfort, healing, needed relief,

[Bridge]
We give you praise,
You’re the maker of better days,
Raise the Dead,
Strike Leviathan’s head,
Cast the devil's aside,
Teach Those who don't abide,
Keep me in your word so I'll never backslide,
So when the Devil comes
I'll know not to run and hide,
Need you for my survival,
Let me preach your revival,
Let me plant your seeds,
Let me do good deeds,
Stay away from temptation and greed,

[Chorus]
Thank You, Jesus — You were there night and day,
When I was lost, You taught my soul to pray.
You saved my life, rewrote my story’s end,
Gave me hope, gave me truth, gave me strength again,
You're our refuge when we bleed,
You're our Father when we plead,
In the darkness, You shine and lead,
Thank You, Jesus… You're all we need.

[Outro]
Thank You Jesus, You're all we need,
We waited, you stopped the wrath,
Hell’s road is wide, narrow is your path,
Used to stay far away from you,
No wonder I was snake bitten,
But you kept your watch, anchor and tether,
Gave this kid a victory, said it was written forever,

I’m Coming Home

"Half a million voices rising — coming home."

A homecoming anthem for the unclaimed. Whispers from the Angel’s phone, choir chants, and a Kingdom seat at a table the system never set.

Listen — VOL 2 Master

I’m Coming Home

0:00 / 0:00
[Intro]
Half a million kids in the system, left alone,
Through no fault of their own, No family, No loving home,
But I Heard a whisper, message from the Angel’s phone,
Said, hey Foster Child, you’re coming home!

[Verse 1]
Was swept up in a hurricane, just a name unclaimed,
Anger boiled over, spirit became restless, untamed,
Beaten down and broken, no Hope, no family,
Then JESUS knelt down and comforted me,
Said what they did to you, man was a Disgrace,
But I've blessed you and the entire Human Race,
They painted you as a Hard Case,
Got Shuffled around with No Home Base,

[Bridge]
What seemed impossible happened through his grace,
Dried the tears on my face,
Said, “Your Life Decisions were made in Haste”,
That ain't something you can cut and paste,

[Chorus]
I’m Coming Home, Where Love is fully grown,
Comin’ home to a familiar place I’ve never known,
I’m making up lost time, forgetting the pain of being alone,
Lord said, “Your part of my Kingdom and You're coming home”,

[Verse 2]
I'll give you a seat at the table, maybe a little taste,
Get your Spirit straight, No Time to Waste,
I know ya beat up and life's taken it's Toll,
Have faith, You're Coming home, it what you've been Told,
You’re my Child so put some Holy in your Roll,
Cause You’ve been Reborn, new body, mind and Soul,
You were shattered into pieces, but then I made ya Whole,
Now got a perpetual Royal flush, never again will you Fold,

[Breakdown / Choir Chant]
“Come home!” (echo)
“Come home!” (echo)
Half a million voices rising from the pain,
Children of his promise — no more shame.

[Bridge]
So Stay on the path that makes the Holy Spirit Swole,
Keep steadfast on the Path of the Noble,
Stay away from the devil's darkness on the edge of town,
You got the helmet of salvation, his victory is your crown,
Put on the Full Armour of God, cause it's always going down,
Just Come home, shine like a bride in her wedding gown,
Half a million Foster kids, never again made to feel alone,
You are all GODS children and your coming home—

[Chorus]
I’m Coming Home, Where the Love is fully grown,
Comin’ home to a familiar place I’ve never known,
I’m making up lost time, forgetting the pain of being alone,
Lord said, “Your part of my Kingdom and You're coming home”,

[Verse 3]
He can raise you to levels of renown,
Not an incomplete sentence, with no verb or noun,
So take up his cross and word, your made in his flesh and bone,
Like Moses he'll give you the voice, the words, the tone,
Cause memories are stored in wood and fabric and stone,
But the worst part ain’t the pain felt deep in their bones,
It’s being alone and seeing other kids in their homes,
But that’s no longer my story cause I'm coming home,

[Final Chorus]
Like Gideon rising and breaking down that Asher Pole,
Your past Foster Life is Void and Null,
Half a million Foster kids, never again made to feel alone,
You are all GODS children and your coming home—

[Outro]
Child, Your anointed,
I've raised you up,
You’re Coming Home!

The Beginning or The End

"From the beginning to the End — He was always there."

Liturgy meets lament meets exaltation. The End is the Beginning; the Beginning is the End — and Jesus is always there.

Listen — VOL 2 Master

The Beginning or The End

0:00 / 0:00
[Intro]
Blessed Be GOD our Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who has blessed us with All Spiritual blessings
in heavenly places in Christ, Who Chose US in Him
before the foundation of the world, Hallelujah!

[Verse 1]
Dearest Father, bring light to my darkened soul,
Help me keep you in my heart, O Lord, make us whole,
My rock and redeemer, this day give us a lead role,
Forgive the world’s sins, it weighs on our soul,
Never forget your sacrifice, sent your only begotten son,
Shed his blood, sacrificed his body for the lives of everyone,
In the name of Jesus, our King, your son,
We pray redemption has begun, for every orphan daughter and son,
(Amen)

[Pre-Chorus]
Was this the beginning or the end?
Why so many lives of the Fatherless to mend?
No family, No Foe, No friend,
Was this the beginning or the end?

[Chorus]
The End is The Beginning and Beginning the End,
New purpose and destination, now heavenly gardens we tend,
No matter it’s just beginning, We Pray like it’s The End,
Prophecy Revealing what's coming around the bend, God send,
Foster Kids No longer breaking, We mentally bend,
Doesn’t matter if it’s the beginning or the End,
Cause Jesus was always There, from the beginning to the End,

[Verse 2]
Grace spilled upon us before the very beginning,
From Heavenly places radiating spiritual blessings,
Chose us in him before the foundation of the world,
Made holy without blame, protected us when the demons swirlled,
Peace and hope Hurled from our Creator,
To the praise of the glory of his grace, none greater,
Gave us redemption through his blood,
Forgives humanities sin, waited a millenium to send the Flood,

[Bridge]
According to the counsel of his will,
Predestined, Children Adopted,
The Pleasure of his will,
Accepted in the beloved,
According to the riches of his grace;
I pray from my secret place,

[Chorus]
The End is The Beginning and Beginning the End,
New purpose and destination, now heavenly gardens we tend,
Don’t matter it’s just the beginning, We Pray like it’s The End,
Prophecy Revealed what's coming around the bend, God send,
Foster Kids No longer breaking, “We mentally bend”,
Doesn’t matter if it’s the beginning or the End,
Father GOD was always There, from the beginning to the End,

[Verse 3]
The Holy Spirit Downloads the mystery of his will into our spirit,
Helps us gather together, praise Jesus for all to hear it,
In the heavenly realm or one of the Devil's earthly places,
Making mentions in my prayers, Nothing but smiles on kids faces,
We've obtained the glory of his inheritance,
Abounded us all wisdom and prudence,
We believe, got sealed, got Holy Spirit fire,
In God’s house now singing with the Saints choir,

[Chorus]
The End is The Beginning and Beginning the End,
New purpose and destination, now heavenly gardens we tend,
Don’t matter it’s just the beginning, We Pray like it’s The End,
Prophecy Revealed what's coming around the bend, God send,
Foster Kids No longer breaking, “We mentally bend”,
Doesn’t matter if it’s the beginning or the End,
Jesus you were always There, from the beginning to The End,

[Outro (Spoken)]
In Knowing Him, wisdom and revelation,
According to the working of his mighty power,
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened,
Know the hope of his calling,
Blessed with the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.
We heard the word of truth,
The gospel of your salvation,
The earnest of our inheritance,
Until the redemption of the purchased possession,
Unto the praise of his glory. Amen
