atypicalic I had the opportunity to play horns (and a teeny bit of bg vocal) on the title track, "The Answer I Seek" (near the end). I was glad to see Jono produce this album promoting Christ after lending his bass guitar to many others. Favorite track: The Answer I Seek.

Jono: Father God, I come to You In the name of Jesus Christ. Please forgive me for sins And I thank You for all You've done. I can't forget what You did When You died on Calvary, And I'll profess with my tongue Forevermore that I believe. [Translation of Tongues - Thank you God for loving me so much to bring me back to You through Jesus! I pray to keep Your Word in my Heart!] Father God, I come to You In the name of Jesus Christ. Please forgive me for sins And I thank You for all You've done. I can't forget what You did When You died on Calvary, And I'll profess with my tongue Forevermore that I believe. Basic: What you did for me? Up there on Calvary? Is....so Great! Yeah!

Get thee behind me, Satan! Thou art an offense to me. For thou savourest things Not of God, but of man. I won't fall for your devilish tricks. I'll hide behind the cross! For anything I could gain from you Would be a heavenly loss. [Translation of Tongues] - I rebuke thee, all you spirits of darkness, in the name of Jesus Christ! You have no power over me for I given my heart to the Lord! [Keys Solo] Get thee behind me, Satan! Thou art an offense to me. For thou savourest things Not of God, but of man. I won't fall for your devilish tricks. I'll hide behind the cross! For anything I could gain from you Would be a heavenly loss. Get thee behind me, Satan. Get thee behind me, Satan. Get thee behind me, Satan! Get thee behind me, Satan!!!

(Transcribed from Improvised Lyrics) Domician: Sing from the soul. Play something from you. Let 'em know, let em' know. Let 'em know we want peace. Peace, baby. Gotta know! Gotta know! Gotta know World Peace! Whisper words of hope. Let 'em know peace, babe. Peace, babe. Whisper words. Let 'em know peace. Let them know. Said I tried for real, baby, to move on. Tell them! Tell them! Tell them World Peace! Bring about, bring about for good. Thought about? Thought about? Say! Bring about! Bring about... Mama? "Peace. Let them know they will have peace sometime. Let them know we will...WE WILL HAVE...have peace... Be about, think about, realize! Realize that I want peace! Realize, realize, realize it! I want peace." We are freestyling. I don't know what I'm saying... Better than I'm talking to You!. You! You! You! You! You! You! "No" peace. "No" peace. "No" peace. Gotta make some peace "Yes." No peace, brother? Show peace.

Jono: Dear Heavenly Father, I give my soul to Thee. The devil has no power over me. Whatever the cost From Satan I will flee. I will not succumb To sin and iniquity. Nick Classic: Woke up That's a blessing My babies eat Get to stepping I'm in my own world Resurrection When I speak, it's more than my complexion It's my expressions How I deal with past transgressions Confessions of a studio session Faith is tested Hell's a lesson If I don't make a habit of it You want it then you grab it Then you back it like a padded budget Me, I never asked for nothing Trying to get back to something Real, I can feel I'm on the heels Of karma and had it coming Running ain't a strategy Lock it in automatically When all I know is gravity Passionately rapping emphatically Chasing masterpieces Half of me is doing better Half of me is content That struggle applies the pressure Putting effort in work Searching with purpose on earth Simple with my needs and I believe I know what it's worth Jono: Dear Heavenly Father, I give my soul to Thee. The devil has no power over me. Whatever the cost From Satan I will flee. I will not succumb To sin and iniquity. Fleetwood Deville: I am present. I am presently improving. I am Presently. Presently ascending. Present sees no ending. I am Present. Presently observing, Presently ready to give. Presently deserving. I am Presently. Presently grateful. Presently thankful. Presently thoughtful. Presently free from over-stimulation. I am presently full and I am presently empty. I am presently free from resentment. I am presently active. Ain't no accidents. I am Present Purpose, in Purpose, On Purpose. I am Presently. Definitely. Jono: Dear Heavenly Father, I give my soul to Thee. The devil has no power over me. Whatever the cost From Satan I will flee. I will not succumb To sin and iniquity. [Bass Solo] Jono: "Dear Heavenly Father, I give my soul to Thee. The devil has no power over me. Whatever the cost From Satan I will flee. I will not succumb To sin and iniquity."

[Translation of Tongues] - Thank You God for having mercy on me and blessing me unworthily. I pray for forgiveness for the sinful lifestyle I used to live and I thank You for the sacrifice You made so that I may live eternally. My heart and soul are Yours always. Amen. [Transcribed from Improvised Lyrics] Jono: Verily I say unto you All my brother wants is peace. All he wants is peace. And veriily I say unto you We should give my brother peace. Give him peace. How can you look at me and you see a friend? And then you look at him and you're filled with hatred? Filled with fear? He is just a man following the God of our people every single day. So don't fear him. He is just a child of Jesus, Child of God. And verily I say unto you All my brother wants is peace. Peace. Peace for my King. Peace to the Highest. Peace to the God of Light. Tell me. What would it take for you to believe in your King? How much longer can you live in ignorance? In hatred? In the darkness? Come to Christ! Come to Christ! Come to Jesus! Come to Him! Peace to my brother. Peace to my sister. Peace to my mother. Peace to my father. Love all, you people! Love all, you people! All you need to do is love! All you need to do is love! Come to Jesus. Come! Follow your King. Praise Him! Praise Jesus!

Jono: I will rejoice in the Lord all my life. He is the only one who saved me from my strife. I was down. So alone. Empty. And Weak. But God was the Answer I needed to Seek. Dear Lord, where would I be? Without You, I would die. I may never repay You, Lord, But You know I will try. Oh, I was down. So alone. Empty. And Weak. But God was the Answer I needed to Seek. [Translation of Tongues- I will forever sing my praise for the Lord and keep Him in my heart. I came to Him at weakest moment, not knowing what to expect and He saved my life. I tried so many other ways to make myself happy. In the end, God was the answer. With my sins forgiven, I can truly live. Thank You God. In the name of Jesus Christ, Thank You for saving my life. Amen.] I felt down. I felt alone. I felt empty. No one cared. I felt down. I felt alone. I felt empty. No one cared. Too much in my head... Socially isolated. That was me, God. That was me, God. That was me, God! That was me... So I sought out the best doctors to fix what was in my mind. But it seemed I could not leave depression behind. So I hid my pain from all. I hid it deep inside. 'Till one day I broke down, I looked up, and I cried, "What is the point, Lord? What more can I give? How can I go on? Why should I live?" "How can You love me, A man that's so weak? What is the answer, The answer I seek?" Again, I asked. "What is the answer, The answer I seek?" And they said. R. Adams, I. Comer, Romane & Lettuce: "God is the answer, The answer you seek." Jono: "What is the answer, The answer I seek?" R. Adams, I. Comer, Romane & Lettuce: "God is the answer, The answer you seek." Jono: "How can He love me, A man that's so weak?" R. Adams, I. Comer, Romane & Lettuce: "God is the answer, The answer you seek." Jono: "How can He need me, A man that's so meek?" R. Adams, I. Comer, Romane & Lettuce: "God is the answer, The answer you seek. God is the answer, The answer you seek. God is the answer, The answer you seek. God is the answer, The answer you seek. God is the answer, The answer you seek." God is The Answer.
