Right Where You Want Me 03:38
lyrics
Got it all dreamed out, Got the routes all mapped Got the cars lined up On a freight train track Burning up my doubts Forgettin’ where I’ve been But here we go, it’s crashin’ down again When the bitter west wind keeps bringin’ it When I’m about sick of making sense of it When another let down seems imminent Well, You’ve got me Right where you want me Like I’m tryin’ to retie a tourniquet Just when I think I’m finally finished learnin’ it You’ve always got a way of reworkin’ it ‘Cause You’ve got me Right where You want me It’s never like we’ve planned Another two steps back Is it a game of chance? Have the cards been stacked? An enemy of change I’m tryin’ to see Your hand ‘Cause here we go, it’s crashin’ down It’s crashin’ down again Repeat Chorus ‘Cause here we go again It’s crashin’ down again ‘Cause here we go again I’m tired of livin’ in this dissonance I wanna trust Your Providence To know that I was meant To be in this place, this time for a reason To see my relevance in a world that is bleedin’ This ain’t my life, but I guard it with obsession I’m begging, God, can You stop this infection? This is it, I’m gonna draw my line I’m gonna shine for Christ where only I can shine Repeat Chorus

The First Thing 04:05
lyrics

They raise a colored flag for the world to see And shout in unison for equality These are the rights they have, each free to choose Except the ones who oppose their views We’ve got a case of paralysis, We’re too afraid to call it what it is But with every stone we throw, He’s writin' in the sand What is the first thing that they see? Is it the grace You give to me? Is it a love that won’t let go? Are You a God they’ve gotta know? We stare through colored glass at a world in need We mute His grace with hypocrisy They see the lofty gaze, judgment in our eyes And we push them further still away from Christ We’ve got a case of paralysis We sing of love, but shun the Fatherless While there’s a God of hope Who’s reachin' out His hand Repeat Chorus We speak of Hell and we warn of fate They call us bigots, full of hate But we can’t grasp the span of grace Until we know the Judge we all must face Repeat Chorus ‘Cause love is the first thing Love is the first thing ‘Cause love is the first thing Love is the first thing

Until You Meet Her 03:32

You’ve been tryin' to hang on tight, But it’s eating you alive It’s another lonely night, You wonder how you will survive But come on girl, don’t chase the world It’s all about to fade And come on boy, she’s not a toy To use and throw away You’ve been savin' for the right one Wait until you meet her, She’s a mother, she’s a wife Wait until you meet him, There’s a glimmer to his life You’ve been wantin' something deeper, Don’t stop until it’s right Everyone is movin' on, While your dreams are locked in place You’ve been longin' to belong, Feels your heart’s a rental space But come on girl, you’re worth the world He bought you with a price And come on boy, be overjoyed He’s given you new life You’ve been savin' for the right one Wait until you meet her, She’s a mother, she’s a wife Wait until you meet him, There’s a glimmer to his life You’ve been wantin' something deeper And everyday, she’s on your mind And your soul, it aches, as you search for signs And every night, you feel his kiss And you ask yourself if he exists But come on friend, just give it time Become the mate you long to find Let His goodness be your guide, And you’ll be ready when two worlds collide Wait until you meet her, She’s a mother, she’s a wife Wait until you meet him, There’s a glimmer to his life Wait until you meet her, She’s a beacon, she’s a light Wait until you meet him, You can see his love for Christ You’ve been wantin' something deeper, Don’t stop until it’s right

A Step Away 02:41
lyrics

You want to fill the static, You want to sound dramatic, You want to hear the masses screamin' out your name You want to be the rage, You want to shake the cage, You want to light the stage, you’re like a moth drawn to the flame What in the world are you doin' it for? Something’s always got you comin' back for more We’re all just a step away You want to be an inspiration, You want to change a generation, But it’s a subtle deviation, you’re becomin' what you hate What in the world are you doin' it for? Something’s always got you comin' back for more We’re all just a step away When all is said and done, It all burns up in a fiery sun, Have you lost the passion for saving one? What in the world are you doin' it for? Something’s always got you comin' back for more We’re all just a step away What in the world are you doin' it for? Something’s always got you comin' back for more We’re all just a step away What in the world are you doin' it for? What in the world are you doin' it for?

Hate What Hurts You 03:54
lyrics

We stood as one, we said we do Beneath the chapel bells Rain or sun, we would stay true As long as time could tell Defend these gates, we’d guard our eyes We’d hold through every war But casual lies and compromise Were scratching at the door I wanna hate what hurts you I wanna fight everything that brings you pain I said I’d never desert you, But I’m playing with the things that break your heart That break your heart Oh God, how great Your heart must ache, You look down from Your throne And You watch the ones You came to save Abuse the lives they’re loaned With every sin, another thorn We drive into Your brow And insult Your grace and shout with scorn Our defiance and our doubt I wanna hate what hurts You I wanna fight everything that brings You pain I said I’d never desert You There's a waging war inside Between the darkness and the light And my soul is torn in two Matching what I say and what I do Can you take this heart again? Let it only beat for you I wanna hate what hurts You I wanna fight everything that brings You pain I said I’d never desert You, But I’m playing with the things that break Your heart I’ve been playing with the things that break Your heart That break Your heart

Also available on iTunes, Spotify and Amazon.

Marc's latest project, Right Where You Want Me EP, has been over four years in the making. The songs for the EP were written in early 2014 and the majority of the instruments were recorded in Nashville, TN between February and April 2015. Vocals for the project were recorded at Marc's home studio throughout 2017. The project was finally mixed in the winter of 2017 and mastered in February 2018. The project began as an 11-song record and was eventually scaled back to five songs due to time and budget restraints.

In speaking of the EP, Marc says, "It feels like this EP has been the most challenging project to date, although the memories of struggles and setbacks of every project seem to fade over time. I can definitely say that these five songs were worth every minute and every penny. Not only was I stretched creatively like never before, I was pushed to trust God on a new level. He is the one who helped me every step of the way and carried me through to the finish line. I also wouldn't have arrived if it wasn't for my wife, who has been my number one fan and teammate.

I had a lot more time and money on my hands when I released 'Snapshots of the Shattered Soul' back in 2011. It's a whole new ballgame juggling the responsibilities of husband, provider and now father of two busy young children. It seems like these songs should have been completed years ago, but they wouldn't be what they are now if it wasn't for the mountains I had to scale along this creative journey. Ironically, 'Right Where You Want Me' has been a lesson in waiting and believing that through God, all things are possible."
