Music by Daniel Joseph Morrison and Hans Georg Nägeli Lyrics by Daniel Joseph Morrison Why am I so scared That I might be wrong And you might be right With my convictions so strong Have I actually lost sight Of a grace so embracing of the people that we're chasing out of our good folks club Jesus, what have we done with your bride Splitting her up taking sides Filled with our anger and pride 'Cause we're the good folks Jesus, where do grace and truth collide When I don't see the log in my eye When we're believing the lie That we're the good folks It seems our good folks church Has forgotten to search Our own hearts That beat, beat, beat With a self-assurance Unfit for our hospital gowns Have we forgotten the truth of how we were found Maybe I was just admitted before my symptoms could progress Maybe I would answer differently if I were under duress Jesus, what have we done with your bride Splitting her up taking sides Filled with our anger and pride 'Cause we're the good folks Jesus, where do grace and truth collide When I don't see the log in my eye When we're believing the lie That we're the good folks Jesus, you prayed that we'd be unified The next day you were crucified And the narrow gate was opened wide But not in our eyes Jesus, how have we become so blind Singing blessed be the tie that binds While leaving family behind 'Cause we're the good folks Yeah, we're the good folks Yeah, we're the good folks We're the good folks We're the good folks We're the good folks We're the good folks We're the good folks We're the good folks We're the good folks We're the good folks We're the good folks We're the good folks We're the good folks We're the good folks We're the good folks We're the good folks

You Loved Me Before 04:51

Why won't I stop All this restless activity That keeps on keeping me From coming to You And why won't I block Out all these distractions Take time to take stock Instead of rushing to action Jesus, I need to be reminded You loved me before my eyes could see Before I learned how to earn And forgot how to yearn You loved me before I started to crawl Before I started to hide What's really inside And you loved me before I began to carry The weight of pleasing and impressing Forgetting the blessing That's mine in You It's You in me Teach me to stop Teach me to listen I'm afraid of what I'm not Afraid of what I'm missing But my head knows You're there And if only I'll pause My heart will catch on And find You are the cause Of the only revival I'll find for my soul It's been neglected too long Been sidelined for songs and hurry, books and worry And all of this time You've been waiting for me You say your burden is light Your yoke it is easy Jesus, I need to be reminded You loved me before my eyes could see Before I learned how to earn And forgot how to yearn You loved me before I started to crawl Before I started to hide What's really inside And you loved me before I began to carry The weight of pleasing and impressing Forgetting the blessing That's mine in You It's You in me Jesus, help me to stop All this restless activity That keeps on keeping me From coming to You

Poor in Spirit 04:28

Jesus, I just don't know What you've been doing Inside my soul Things have been changin' Myself most of all Now I feel like a stranger To that child who first heard your call So Jesus, would you meet me right now I don't know what it will look like And I don't know how But Jesus, I need your voice To break through my baggage And bring peace to my noise Blessed are the poor in spirit Blessed are the ones who know they don't know Blessed are the poor in spirit Blessed are the ones who know that they can't Blessed are the poor in spirit I know I don't know but I know I know who knows Blessed are the poor in spirit I cannot begin it, but He will see it through So Jesus, it's okay if I don't know What you've been doing Inside my soul Your ways are above me They'll never fit inside my head So as things are changing I hold on to what you said Blessed are the poor in spirit Blessed are the ones who know they don't know Blessed are the poor in spirit Blessed are the ones who know that they can't Blessed are the poor in spirit I know I don't know but I know I know who knows Blessed are the poor in spirit I cannot begin it, but He will see it through Blessed are the poor in spirit (Blessed are the poor) Blessed are the ones who know they don't know (The poor in spirit) Blessed are the poor in spirit (Blessed are the poor) Blessed are the ones who know that they can't (The poor in spirit) Blessed are the poor in spirit (Blessed are the poor) I know I don't know but I know I know who knows (The poor in spirit) Blessed are the poor in spirit (Blessed are the poor) I cannot begin it, but He will see it through (The poor in spirit) I cannot begin it, but He will see it through (Blessed are the poor) I cannot begin it, but He will see it through (The poor in spirit)

about

Good Folks Club is an album of processing, not an album of clear understanding. Much has been shaken and sifted in my own faith journey over the past three years, and these three songs stem from that. At the same time, there is an arc to the story - from the angst of the title track to the more reflective “You Loved Me Before” to the joyful surrender of “Poor in Spirit,” the listener can trace the trajectory towards a healthier, more rooted-in-Christ place.

Thank you to:
Jesus, to whom much of this album is addressed. Thank you for your grace and kind leadership and love in my life. Oh for grace to trust you more.
Brian Ballinger and Patrick Lenz for listening and giving such helpful feedback - these songs are much better because of your keen ears and musical expertise!
Mia Morrison, my amazing wife, for contributing vocals, giving feedback, creating the album artwork, letting me lock myself in my studio for hours upon hours, for letting me process the process of this project with you, and for your love and support in life in general. I love you!
My dear mom, who was the first to get back to me with additional vocals, far outpacing the tech-savvy younger generation.
Ashley Thompson, who laid down some amazing countermelody vocals for "Poor In Spirit" with ease.
Tony Scott, who was a listening ear for my updates on the project and who prayed for the process with me - thank you brother!

Daniel Morrison Baltimore, Maryland

Daniel Morrison's style falls somewhere around the bizarre intersection of classical bass trombonist meets funk rock brass band jazz fusion. His latest release, Good Folks Club, features raw lyrics, lots of brass, and a wide palette of electronic instrumental color. It is a three-song journey through the questions and challenges of following Jesus through a confusing time in a confusing world. ... more
