A song about almost losing my faith to the depression brought on by the Christian embrace of Trumpism, Christian nationalism and toxic masculinity within the Church.
lyrics
Free me, break me, fill me up with all your holy water
‘Cause I’m driving drunk in the night with one headlight
Bow down, low down, pledge yourself and all your sons and daughters
‘Cause we’re vying for a throne without a prayer or a birthright
Oh, sweetest name
Is this really who I am?
Do I need your love like a gun needs a hand?
I’ve been reading, preparing my world for a reduction
And it’s strange how the other sheep sleep in their own blood
I’ve been changing, subtle as a cliff on a coastline
Maybe there is a god, she’s working on my insides
Maybe there is a god, she’s working on my insides…
Oh, sweetest name
Is this really who I am?
Do I need your love like a gun needs a hand?
Oh, love of life
Is this really where I stand?
Do I need your love like an altar needs a lamb?
Free me, break me, fill me up with all your holy water
‘Cause I’m driving drunk in the night with one headlight

Josh, your music has been a wonderful discovery for me recently as I have found myself being drawn back to the Lord. Thank you for what you do.
In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdenous.
