jay bizzze - sam's repentance (commentary) lyrics

[jay bizzze]
man, before i say anything, i just want to give all the glory, all the praise, and all the honor to my lord and savior jesus christ for blessing me to be able to release my debut album, young samson. and on top of that, even being able to release a deluxe version of it as well. this album was covered in prayer, covered in study, and created from a place of hope that i found in the midst of the struggle with sin

this project has been three years in the making, and in 2021, thе lord laid on my heart this nickname and alter еgo, which is young samson. and so many of my close fans and supporters know that i love using alter egos in my music. three z’s, mr. doomzilla, young t’challa, are just some of the hundreds that i have. but young samson is entirely different, because it’s one of the most personal alter egos i have

samson, who’s story is found in judges chapters 13 through 16, was actually one of my favorite characters in the bible as a child. i remember hearing all the stories of his great strength in sunday school, and thinking to myself like “wow, this dude is awesome!” but as i grew up and matured in my faith, i began to realize that samson was not only a man of great strength, but he was also a man of great weakness. and if i were to sum up his weaknesses into 3 key areas it would be l+st, pride, and temptation

and those three things really plagued me in 2021, right around the time the lord gave me this idea for young samson. uh, so with this album, i share my struggles with l+st, pride, and temptation, through the lens of samson’s story that is revealed in judges chapters 13 through 16. so as i talk about samson’s story and the mistakes that he’s made, i’m actually talking about my own mistakes through the lens of samson’s story. so even though this album addresses some dark topics, uh, young samson is a beautiful harmony of samson’s story and my own tied together by the endless, matchless grace of god

and so as we begin the album with sam’s repentance, which is a spoken word track, and even though i am speaking, i’m actually speaking from the point of view of the holy spirit. and so as you’ll see in samson’s story, which by the way, if you haven’t read judges chapters 13 through 16, please pause this and go read it, it’s so rich and you’ll learn something new about the grace of god. um, but as you’ll see in samson’s story, god allowed his holy spirit, which the holy spirit is god, to come upon samson and give him the strength to conquer the philistines that were oppressing israel. but sadly, much of samson’s life in response to that great calling, was engaging in disobedient deeds that grieved the holy spirit that came upon him, essentially running away from him. and so when you listen to sam’s repentance, it’s like the holy spirit is talking to samson saying, “h+llo, it’s me, the one you were running away from.” so to god be the glory for blessing me with that idea

interestingly enough, this track also serves as both the intro and the outro of this album, upon the first listen, sam’s repentance is the intro, and upon the second listen, it is the outro, uh, which creates a loop effect to symbolize the theme of the book of judges from which samson’s story is found. uh, the recurring theme in the book of judges follows this cycle: israel sins against god, then god punishes them and allows them to be conquered by other nations, then israel cries out to the lord for help, and when israel repents and turns away from their sin and turns back to god, then god sends a judge to deliver them, and then sadly, israel goes back to sinning against god, and this loop continues throughout the book of judges. so it is my prayer that upon listening to this album, you will break the cycle of sin in your life that so easily entangles you, as the writer of hebrews 12:1 says

and for all of my listeners and supporters who like finding easter eggs in music, uh, i mention all the song titles from young samson on this opening track. listen and see if you catch them

this is track 1, sam’s repentance
