Biography:
While he may be considered a "new" artist, Fervent Records' newly signed singer-songwriter Chris August is anything but a rookie in the music industry. A native of Dallas, Texas and a self-taught pianist, guitarist and producer, the year August turned 15 was according to the Starry Night Songfacts a "huge turning point" for him. Not only did he become a Christian, but it was also the time period when he began playing, writing, and recording music.

[Verse 1]
Gm7 F
There's a depression
Dm7 Eb
I feel it pressing in my chest
Gm7 F
There's not a question
Dm7 D
You are the way to make it rest
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Gm7
You can take death away
F
Who can do such a thing?
Dm7 Eb
Nothing in the world could contest
Gm7 F
There's a depression
Dm7 D
But You are greater than the mess
[Chorus]
Gm7 F Dm7 Eb
You make the broken something better than it was
Gm7 F Dm7 Eb
You take a bad thing, add change and watch what it becomes
Gm7 F
So here is my heart, it is barely beating
Dm7 Eb
You are the One that I know it's needing
Gm7 F
You have spoken
Dm7 D Gm7
Nothing's beyond broken
[Verse 2]

You turn water into wine
[Pre-Chorus 2]

Who can do such a thing?

This is what it means to be blessed

It is Your message

This is Your design
[Chorus]
