MARSHLIGHT GOSPEL

Where the Spirit Wades in Swampwater Stillness Lyrics: [Verse 1 – The Swamp Speaks First] I didn’t find God in a church-built steeple Didn’t see light in the hands of the people But I caught truth where the cattails sway And the frogs start preachin’ at the end of the day Boots in mud, soul in flame I don’t confess — I claim my name I don’t sing hymns from man-made scrolls I hum with the crickets in the reeds and holes ⸻ [Hook – Where the Gospel Lives] This is Marshlight Gospel — soaked in moss Every lie you lived, this water wash Ain’t no pulpit here, just Spanish oak And the sermon comes with every breath I smoke This is Marshlight Gospel — roots don’t lie You either sink or sanctify No fake halos, no paid priests Just God in the still, and peace in the beasts ⸻ [Verse 2 – Baptized in the Hum] I ain’t dunked in no clean white robe But I been born again in black bayou code Turtle slide, bullfrog drum That’s the choir I listen from Ain’t no roof when the sky this wide Just clouds that split where the spirit hides And I don’t beg — I just breathe Let the river take what I don’t need ⸻ [Bridge – Field of the Forgotten Truth] I met the Lord in a dragonfly blink Right ‘fore sundown, right on the brink And He ain’t shout — just said: “You free. Now hush… and feel what it means to be.” ⸻ [Final Hook – Swamp As Sanctuary] Marshlight Gospel — don’t need no stage I let the breeze flip every page I don’t perform, I walk with mud Where holy lives in southern flood So when I die, don’t bury me fast Let me float where the egrets passed I been saved — but not like y’all think I just breathe. I just sink. I just blink. Inner I Inner Flame 🔥
