Who moves forth without a name?
Oh, the power of the Lord
Who casts sin and lifts all blame?
Oh, the power of the Lord
You been doubting down inside
Get smart quick, get the devil behind
Who builds prayer into a flame?
Oh, the power of the Lord
Who’s gonna take the blade off your throat?
Oh, the power of the Lord
Teach you faith in how to come so close?
Oh, the power of the Lord
You been doubting in your mind
Get smart quick, get the demon behind
Who’s gonna teach you bout the hands of mercy?
Oh, the power of the Lord
Oh, the power – the power of the Lord
Oh, the power of the Lord
Oh, the power – the power of the Lord
Oh, the power of the Lord
Who moves the stars above their secrets?
Oh, the power of the Lord
Who’s gonna show you the fire in Eden?
Oh, the power of the Lord
You’ve been doubting in your mind
You better get smart quick, before you’re cast aside
Who’s gonna show you the truth you’re fightin
Oh, the power of the Lord
Oh, the power – the power of the Lord
Oh, the power of the Lord
Oh, the power – the power of the Lord
Oh, the power of the Lord
Who’s gonna teach you 'bout the dime store prophet…
Preacherman tryin to start a riot…
Teach you love and how to keep it…
Everything you always been seekin…
Who’s gonna teach you bout the hands of mercy…

Matt is my stablemate at Fox Run Studios and a soulful, piano-rockin' man. The sound of his album is what made me choose our shared producer, Neale Eckstein. I love Matt's music! Mya Byrne
Another dear friend, I play in Jesse's NYC band, so I'm biased, but...gosh, I think he's the closest thing our generation has to Jackson Browne. Mya Byrne
