The Gospel Lyrics

a restless generation were turning over every stone
hoping to find salvation in a world thats left us cold
can we get back to the altar back to the arms of our first love theres only way to the father and hes calling out to us
to the captive it looks like freedom to the orphan it feels like home
to the skeptic it might sound crazy to believe in a GOD who loves in a world
where our hearts are breakin and were lost in the mess weve made
like a blinding light in the dead of night
its the gospel the gospel that makes a way
its the gospel that makes a way
its the cure for our condition
its the good news for us all
its greater than religion its the power of the cross
so can we get back to the altar back to th arms of our first love theres only one way to the father and hes calling out to us
to the captive it looks like freedom to the orphan it feels like home
to the skeptic it might sound crazy to believe in a GOD who loves
in a world where are hearts are breaking and were lost in the mess weve made
like a blinding light in the dead of night
its the gospel the gospel that makes a way
its the gospel that makes a way
its the gospel that makes a way
its the gospel that makes a way

the amazing news of the gospel is not that we can recieve Jesus into our lives
but that hes already recieved us into his
in my own life it means forgiveness
when i know i deserve the fall
it called me out of my darkness and carried me to the cross
in the moment my eyes were opened in the moment my heart was changed
like a blinding light in the dead of night its the gospel
oh to the captive it looks like freedom
to the orphan it feels like home
to the skeptic it might sound crazy to believe in a GOD who loves
in a world where are hearts are breaking and were stuck in the mess weve made
like a blinding light in the dead of night its the gospel
the gospel that makes a way its the gospel that makes a way
its the gospel that makes a way its the gospel that makes away
its the gospel the gospel that makes a way
end

The music of Ryan Stevenson blends influences from soul, pop, and some of the great guitarists to create engaging acoustic guitar driven melodies. Embracing the idea that some of the most profound moments of worship emerge not from mountain-top experiences but from difficult, perhaps even catastrophic circumstance gives Ryan’s lyrics a poetic vulnerability reflecting honestly on the difficulties everyone faces.

At the age of 18, his youth pastor surprised him by placing a guitar in his hands, stating, "I felt like the Lord was telling me to buy this for you" Ryan matured his musical gifts by playing at youth groups, summer camps and mission trips. While attending Northwest Christian College in Eugene, Oregon, Ryan formed an acoustic duo with fellow Christian artist Paul Wright and played in local coffee houses. After adding a full band to the mix, they played throughout the northwest, packing venues and opening for renowned Christian artists. When Wright pursued his solo career, Ryan worked with him as a co-writer, singer, and guitarist on each of Wrights mainstream releases.

Ryan’s own music reflects the wealth of experience garnered from his time with these endeavors. In 2003, Stevenson moved to Boise, Idaho. He continued writing songs, leading worship, and performing in small venues, all while working as a front line paramedic. Wanting to honestly and vulnerably communicate through his recording and his live performance the grace and love that guides him through his own trials, Ryan Stevenson writes with a musical maturity beyond his years and a spiritual sensitivity that easily draws people into the musical message.
