Foreigners 02:37
One throne for the Holy One home for the homies One loan for the Lonelies One known for the whole three I remember the passages He showed me When He was asking do you know me? Though you are passive are you lowly? Are all of your passions for me only? Every question would leave me in a rut Feeling like he knee'd me in the gut But that's better than leaving me in the gutter Unbelieving with the devil just feeding me in the mud Chosen, he cleaned me in his blood He rose and received me in His love Since I died with Him, I will rise with Him On a throne interceding from above One throne for the Holy One home for the homies One loan for the Lonelies One known for the whole three I remember the passage that He showed me This is the path for those who know me I am the master of the lowly I have a pasture for my own sheep The Foreigners... Living in tents in the promise land Living intent? Just a farmers hand Sowing God's seed in the heart of man And Abraham was an alien So let us gain from our fathers This native land that we're staying in Is a temporary stain on the carpet Yo we that few they never knew Grew from the rain, It’s the grain of the harvest They think we're choosing to lose But were chosen to gain from His shame Like the prophets You see the flock feel the pain of a coarse death That's the pain of the course set, what can I say Look at the way that my Lord said I'm on my way, So stay awake He's coming quickly, I know He's gon' come and get me soon Uh, yeah, I know He's gon' come and get me soon

LURK 03:01
My brothers. My sisters. While we are in this foreign land... Stay awake! ‘Cause they Lurking’ and they trine hunt you down ‘Cause they Lurking’ and they trine hunt you down Don’t play around— —— No, I am not without hope, But I am not without sadness as well I have gladness to tell how my sadness prevailed Over drinking madness from the baddest of wells I am not just sad for myself I am troubled in my thinking in my habits and health Seeing what your drinking from the cabinet shelf Gotchu seeing Jesus and thinking it's Calvin himself That one is sickening it really is That among others, among brothers of brilliance But if Paul and Apollos be the same Then hallowed be the name of none other than who he is One plants, one waters One Father to grant the growth so we can truly live One plant, one potter One God who demands the boast that we boast that we would give to men Some things will steal you away if you let them They are lurking in the dark Some secrets find you out if you protect them They are lurking in the dark Young lady, Fishing for men in the dark with her body in the water More likely to end up with sharks then find another convert A follower, a father or a gentleman Little girls will follow her and model what she meddles (medals) in 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd base adrenaline Pumping through the veins of a young man developing A battle that has slain many grown men who wrestle it And I can feel the pain cause I hold hands with veterans Now, you can help your brother be humbled Or you can help your brother to stumble Down the steps of your temple, repenting with each stair (stare) Now it's driving him mental to step into each snare You say, I wish that they would just look at my face But your clothes say, I wish that they would just look at my waist and below And behold, now you got 'em not looking at all Wearing fig leaves in autumn, that'll cause 'em to fall. Some things will steal you away if you let them They are lurking in the dark Some secrets find you out if you protect them They are lurking in the dark

Since I was a little boy, I believed in God I could hear an inner voice, telling me to love —— I could hear my inner voice telling me to lie Telling me lust, telling me to hate, filling me with pride Filling me with bitter joys, and evil appetites So much for my human choice, it never satisfied I was just a child of wrath, fit to be destroyed Walking down a crowded path, tryna fill a void I'd pretend He wasn't there but I could always feel his stare though In His sight I would be careless In human sight I was careful (Melodies) It's grace, grace When I was a younger man, I would sit in church Hear about a bigger plan The preacher spit a verse, Jesus hidden words I could hear the word clearly Never did I ever know of such a treasure I could feel The Lord near me, telling me to let go I could see the law, He could see my thoughts Who was I to get close? An enemy of God, who chose felony over fidelity So the penalty was high, let the evil die! Who was I to see the light? The wrath of God had been satisfied It was by the blood of Jesus Christ The love of God, gave me faith in God That's the grace of God on my life (Melodies) It's grace, grace

Devine peace in my soul High Priest and my Lord Kind King on thy throne My Jesus, my— —— God told it to Adam God told it to Eve God told it to Abraham Abraham believed God told it Moses And Moses wrote His decree God told it to David And David started to sing God told it to prophets God told it to kings God told it to people with whom the prophets would plead God showed Him to John John started to preach God's only begotten became flesh to be seen Nate: You are Light come to the darkness You are Life come to the carcass You are strife come to an end In might, love, and defense The bright son of the harvest You are the I AM—the beginning The high lamb—and the end—at the Right hand of the Father You are the Godman, submitting To Gods plan so willingly, Lifeblood of the martyrs You are, the radiance of God With no gradient, no fading in the dark Truth's salience hit the shadiest of hearts Weighty with the law Saving us from Hades with a call Devine peace in my soul High Priest and my Lord Kind King on thy throne My Jesus, my Love (Chorus) Matt: In control from beginning to the end We coast in your river 'till the living will ascend Foretold in the Scriptures and the vision it is fixed Where the imminent return of Your unending eminence And we fall still. Paul says that we all will. Call out and praise you with our lips! Our mouths will offer you what you deserve And forever preserved those who are His! My God, lifeguard, incarnate Emmanuel, God with us, dies in our place In the ground, rises up, time to partake Witness how Christ has come, cry along saying!

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."(‭Psalm‬ ‭23‬:‭4‬) "You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." (‭Psalm‬ ‭16‬:‭11‬) "One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple" (‭Psalm‬ ‭27‬:‭4‬) —— I see your throne through the darkness Glowing in glorious light I find my home in your presence You draw me near to your side (x2) I see your throne, O Lord I see your throne Glowing in glory and power alone I find my home, O Lord I find my home When you draw me near to you You draw me near to you (x2) (Ashley) I find my home I find my home in you When you draw me near to you you draw me near to you I see your throne through the darkness Glowing in glorious light I find my home in your presence You draw me near to your side (Ashley) You will light the way You will light the way I see your throne, O Lord I see your throne Glowing in glory and power alone I find my home, O Lord I find my home When you draw me near to you You draw me near to you (x2)

about

The Foreigners EP is my debut music project. The title track of this seven-song offering is inspired by God's work of salvation in my life, as well as the encouraging example of saints—spoken of in Hebrews 11—who considered themselves strangers, enduring trials in this life with their hope set on a life and land to come, prepared by God. Overall the project reflects on life experiences, challenges, and glory seen on this walk as a foreigner, waiting for the coming of God's kingdom—and highlighting some of my personal journey as well.

I pray that Foreigners is a heart-stirring, thought provoking, head bobbing blessing to you. Thanks for all of your support.

God bless,

Nate
