No Name But Christ

(VERSE 1)
I was born with a number and a name they gave,
Stamped on a paper like I was some slave.
Mama called me Daniel, but the state called me Smith,
Branded like cattle with a lie and a myth.

I walked that dead-end road called "legal man,"
Tied to a birth bond, workin' some scam.
But I read that Book and I saw the light—
Jesus don’t sign deals in cursive at night.
(CHORUS)
🎶 I got no name but Christ, no mask, no claim,
No surname chain on my soul remains.
I'm not a person, I'm not their ghost,
I'm a freeborn man in the Holy Ghost.
They can’t tax my breath, can’t draft my grace,
I'm walkin' out the court with a lifted face.
‘Cause I’m bought and paid by Calvary’s price—
I got no name but Christ. 🎶
(VERSE 2)
That courtroom cross—it’s a ledger divine,
C for Christ and D for the Devil’s line.
They want my vote, my job, my will,
But I ain’t no surety for Caesar’s bill.

They play a game of debt and birth,
Try to sell back what God gave first.
But I tore up that soul contract they wrote,
When I sank their ship and jumped that boat.
(BRIDGE)
[SPOKEN/SHOUTED PREACHER STYLE OVER GUITAR RIFF]
Don’t call me human, don’t call me thing,
I'm no piece of cargo in the devil’s ring.
I’m not your resident, not your code,
I walk the King's highway, not your legal road.
Signed in blood, not in pen,
I won’t go back to the court again!
(FINAL CHORUS)
🎶 I got no name but Christ, I stand alone,
In the Lamb’s Book, I got my home.
I ain't no debtor, no franchise pawn,
I belong to the King who rose at dawn.
And when they call the census roll,
They’ll find no surname on my soul.
'Cause I died to that beast, rose with new life—
I got no name but Christ! 🎶

[Soft Acoustic Guitar and Fiddle]
(Whispered:)
Just a man, walkin' free,
Under heaven's decree…
Ain’t no fiction left in me.
