“You Care” is a modern Psalm for those who are tired of fighting through life’s challenges, with a sound inspired by the soulfulness of Leon Bridges, the lyricism of Chance the Rapper, and the worshipful gospel of Israel Houghton.
*CHORUS*
I know that you care for me
I know that you care for me
Even when I fight to get my way
Even when I fight the urge to pray
You care
*VERSE 1*
See miracles occur every day
I’m patiently waiting for what the Saviour say
But lately it's been quiet and cloudy; faint and haze
My senses can't make sense, but faith remains
Set my sights on hope, I'll take the danger pay
Sometimes life is remote like Danger Bay
My body breaking down, am I made this way?
Sorrow making rounds and a brother is afraid to pray
Change the way I see today is a process
To be honest I've been locked into a Loch Ness
Only obsessed with knowing its ways
Throwing days in dismay is making me a hot mess
God bless the child who's unsure
Knees slow to bend in penitent posture
God grant your child the strength to endure
Sidelined asking for a place on the roster
*CHORUS*
I know that you care for me
I know that you care for me
Even when I fight to get my way
Even when I fight the urge to pray
You care
*VERSE 2*
Worse than peekaboo this is Psalm 22
A child searching for Abba like, “Daddy where are you?”
This is the Israelites emancipated and furious
Can't see the next step, vision corrupted and curious
Impatient 'cause waiting games only take your power
A confusing delusion that you could do it better
I’m David penning prayers for a merciful answer
Transform this hurting man into a childlike dancer
And let me sing!
*CHORUS X2*
I know that you care for me
I know that you care for me
Even when I fight to get my way
Even when I fight the urge to pray
You care
I know that you care for me
I know that you care for me
Even when I fight to get my way
Even when I fight the urge to pray
You care

I had a lot of great help in the studio to make this song great, but the hook came from a time of prayer and meditation.
