Barry, I really dig your voice and the basic melody is good. The lyrics are a mixture of abstract and concrete ideas which might be confusing to someone listening to song. I don't think your written lyrics match the sung ones. That's a nit I know. Actually, the sung lyrics, I think, are better. Even with the abstract and concrete ideas, you go on the other side of the "believer" theme and consider/address the hypocrites in the church; pretty daring stuff. I think you'll need to focus on just a few ideas in the verses to support your message in the chorus. There is a huge Christian music market but I think the melody and your vocal could take the song to a different genre and topic. A few things to think about. Thanks for sharing.
