Lyrics

Heavenly Father its so hard for me to see
How you could save someone like me
I feel so unworthy,I feel so much grief
Just like a sparrow with a broken wing

And Jesus is the only hope I see
He's the only hope for you and me
He's the only hope for you and me

Heavenly Father it's so hard for me to see
How you could love someone like me
I feel so unworthy, I feel so unclean
How can a million sins be washed clean

And Jesus is the only hope I see
He's the only hope for you and me
He's the only hope for you and me

Heavenly Father it's so hard for me to see
How you could save someone like me
My sins outweigh all my good deeds
And I can't catch up and I never sleep

And Jesus is the only hope I see
He's the only hope for you and me
He's the only hope for you and me
He's the only hope for you and me

Reminds me of Tom Petty vocally and in other ways.

I think that the song and vocals need work but it definitely can be marketed.

Another pleasant spiritual song from Randall: The Bob Dylan voice is great as usual, pity for the recording.

it was a complete record, The message was good and the song never veered off of topic.

Arrangement was very good.

its got a good tune and good arrangement of the song

This artist does have a clear direction of the kind of music he writes.

A good message is conveyed in the song.

A simple rock song with a strong message. Keeping things so lean instrumentally, with that soulful vocal, really works here. In such a great way. Great lyrics, a guitar part that never gets in that way of those lyrics and sang with enough feeling to make you really get it. Great stuff here.

great song structure. Love the chord change leading into the chorus. guitar playing is good. Good vocal for this song. great pre-chorus as well. Love the lyric in first 2 verses. I can hear more vocals in the chorus.

Hey there Randal. I really like the message of this song. Nice job on the instrumentation and the drums. My favorite lyrics: Sparrow with the broken wing. How can a million sins be washed clean. Good stuff, bro!

nice enjoyable country tune........

In a way, this reminds me of early Dylan when he first switched from folk to folk rock - similarities in song arrangement, production values, and the singer's voice. I think these are all good qualities.

I love the message, and guitar rhythm.

Jesus is indeed our only hope. Great message in song.

great feel to the song

VERY INSPIRATIONAL LYRICS, THE CHORD PROGRESSION SOUNDED GOOD AND ORIGINAL, AND HAD A UNIQUE VOCAL QUALITY.

The music is produced well and I the vocal's feel is good, like the story is being told.

I liked the song, kinda a reminded me of a Bob Dylan song.

I love the message because Jesus is the only hope! A very positive message and heartfelt. I liked the simple melody to really allow the listener to focus on the message. I liked it a lot.

very enjoyable track, really liked the vocal style and sound on this religious rock/folk track
good backing music serves it well/. delivery works well
