Don’t Wait feat. Angela Birchett Written by: Phillip O’Rourke Verse 1 Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will not fear Because I know circumstances and happenstances have brought me here. Pre-Hook It doesn’t matter the choices that you make or a careless mistake There is healing and forgiveness in him. It doesn’t matter the person that you love because when you look up All the answers they are all found in him It doesn’t matter the army that you face you are covered with his grace And no weapon that’s formed it won’t work. Keep your eyes on the prize and then you’ll realize That the devil, all his schemes seem absurd. Hook Don’t wait till the battle’s over. Don’t wait till the struggle ends. Shout now. Shout now. Shout now. Shout now. Don’t wait till you make it over. Don’t wait till the storm has past. Shout now. Shout now. Shout now. Verse 2 In the midst of my life I see all the times that I needed him. And in the blink of one moment he found me and told me That I was his friend So no matter how high the waves or how hard the rain has knocked me down I am firmly grounded my feet are planted on solid ground. Pre Hook Hook Bridge If God has done anything for you stop where you are and shout right now.

Better Than You Realize Lyrics and Arrangement: Phillip O’Rourke (ASCAP) Verse 1 Sad too far that’s what she told herself seven days a week I’ve done it now I can’t go back repeats in her mind Just like a dream Sometimes you feel that it’s the end And that your whole world is falling down, completely apart But it will shine again Verse 2 She made a choice to finally fall but love let her down And now she won’t let anyone else in No love allowed A frustrated heart can break But it only take one minute to realize That everything will be ok. Hook If you only get one shot at love hold on don’t give up Even if you heart it just breaks If you only get one chance to be everything that you’ve dreamed Then that’s a chance that you’ve gotta take If you never do anything else, believe in yourself And always be willing to try It may look bad right now But life’s better than you realize Verse 2 (Oh love) it just doesn’t play fair You’ve gotta take a stand (It’s not over) It’s never too late to start To begin again Your destiny awaits Don’t forfeit what’s to come, don’t just give up Don’t throw it all away Hook Bridge I know right now it seems hopeless but I promise it gets better Even if it hurts, in time it will work out and get better Hold on to the promise when He promised you He’ll make it better You can make it. You can make it. So stand up now and declare over yourself it will get better Don’t give in to what you feel. That’s a lie and you know better Hold on to the promise when He promised you He’ll make it better You can make it. You can make it. Hook

You 03:37
You Written by: Phillip O’Rourke (ASCAP) Verse I could sit and just pass the time but you still won’t be here I could write a song, try to think of another line But you’ll still be there – away from me. I would get on a plane I’d drive a thousand miles Just to have another date with you. So I’ll stay inside and I’ll never go out So nobody takes your place The place of you Hook You – you’ re the one I’m thinking ‘bout You – you’re the only one I want around You – it’s all about you You You – you’re making me fall You – but I don’t mind at all You – it’s all about you You – and I’m falling for you Verse 1 It doesn’t matter how long I’ve known you Or how many times that I’ve seen you In my heart you’re home Ever since I left the city you’ve been on mind ‘Cause I’m crazy for you You’ve got me keeping my eyes closed just so I can see you I’m crazy Hook.

Burdens Down 03:37
Burdens Down Written By: Phillip O’Rourke (ASCAP) VERSE 1 Burdens down I will leave them at the cross Grace flows down it becomes my crown at the cross CHORUS 1 There’s rest for the weary heart Healing for the broken life There’s mercy against all odds At the cross. At the cross. VERSE 2 I’m glory bound. I’m crucified at the cross Blood flows down when my savior paid it all at the cross CHORUS 2 There’s love that will not run dry Acceptance for those cast away There’s freedom to live not die At the cross. At the cross BRIDGE It was there that I gave my life away I’m a slave created brand new It was there by faith I received my sight At the cross. At the cross. At the cross. At the cross. VERSE 1 Burdens down I will leave them at the cross Grace flows down it becomes my crown at the cross CHORUS 1 There’s rest for the weary heart Healing for the broken life There’s mercy against all odds At the cross. At the cross.

I Made It 03:54
I MADE IT Written by: Phillip O’Rourke (ASCAP) Verse 1 Darkness ruled the day. I stumbled. I lost my way. But I am here to say that I made it. All hope was in the past. My dreams were fading fast. I never thought I’d last but I made it. Not strong enough to fight. I almost lost my life. But darkness yields to light and I made it. My soul was weakening. I had no peace within. But that was not the end, ‘cause I made it. Pre-Hook I made it through the storm and the rain Through the tears, the hurt, the years of pain And now I have no choice but to share my life and all it’s faults Because without His grace I wouldn’t be here at all. Verse 2 So low I could not stand. I hated who I am But my life - it had a plan, and I made it. I was sinking to rise no more. Far from the peaceful shore. But there was an open door and I made it. Pre-Hook Hook I made it. I made it. I made it. I made it. I made it. I made it. Oh oh oh oh I made it. I made it. I made it. I made it. I made it. I made it. Oh oh oh oh I made it through the storm (I made it) Through the rain (I made it) Past the tears (I made it) Past the pain (I made it) I made it. I made it. Oh oh oh oh Yes, I lived (I made it) I didn’t die (I made it) I’m still here (I made it) I’m alive (I made it) I made it. I made it. Oh oh oh oh (Oh’s) I made it

about

This highly anticipated 6 song EP demonstrates the versatility and depth of his musicianship. The first single “Better Than You Realize - feat. Nicholas Sherrod” broke both christian & gospel music stereotypes with a nod to contemporary R&B through a lyrical ballad which makes us realize that life is more than our immediate circumstances.

Showing his diversity with current uptempo radio single “Don’t Wait - feat. Angela Birchett,” Phillip continues to break down musical boundaries and proves that good music still wins. As the sole producer and writer of this EP, “I Made It” delivers songs across many genres, including: Gospel, Christian Contemporary, Pop & R&B with one theme in mind: NEVER GIVE UP!
