Away 2 Long was written when Taurel moved back to Killeen, TX in 2013. He was getting very involved in his church, serving the community, and working on his music, but there was something that was missing. He realized that he had begun doing things FOR God rather than WITH Him and this put a strain in Taurel’s relationship with Christ. After repenting for worshipping ministry more than God, Taurel was refreshed with the presence of God, realizing that he had truly been staying “Away 2 Long”
Taurel Davenport was living a life filled with drugs, alcohol, fornication, rapping for his own self-gain, and believing his own fate was in his hands. In 2011, he had an incredible encounter with Jesus over a period of days that changed his life forever. He got saved and gave his life to Jesus and literally left everything behind and started over with a purpose to live everyday for Jesus. Now Taurel is the head of a ministry named Faith By Hearing Multimedia Ministries (FBHMM). FBHMM is media based ministry, geared toward bringing the word of God to the youth and young adults of today in a doctrinally sound and relevant way.

LYRICS
I’ve been staying away
Away from you too long x4
And I don’t know why//
Music takes up most of my time//
I’ve been slacking off in my prayer//
Trying to get off rapping each of these lines//
But it don’t mean nothing if I ain’t got Christ//
None of these words will ever change lives//
If they don’t have love well packaged inside//
Let me get this off of my mind//
Let me tell you something//
God I love you and I want You//
Help me do the things that I don’t do //
Don’t want to fall away but rebirth to//
A new life of light, a new earth too//
I just want to worship you //
Well why? Cuz I’m just made to worship You//
Bout to lay down my pride in a hearse for You//
Cuz you’re the One You’re the Son that reversed the tomb//(yea)
Jesus, I need you, I’ve been caught up in all this music and this ministry and all this other stuff but really//
I just want to worship You//
Well why cuz I’m just made to worship You//
Send Your Holy Spirit God, Your presence to shower down in here God, send it like a mighty rushing wind God in my neighborhood, this house God, through my family, through every place that I go God. Come!
Holy Spirit come//
Come! //
Holy Spirit come//
Come! //
Holy Spirit come and//
Set a fire down in my soul//
That I can’t contain that I can’t control//
I want more of you God//x2
Set a fire down in my soul//
That I can’t contain that I can’t control//
I want more of you God//x2
Set a fire down in my soul//
That I can’t contain that I can’t control//
No, Holy Spirit Come//
Praise// x5
Said I do it for the Lord//
Do it for the Good Shepherd//
Do it for the Lord//
Do it for the Good Shepherd//
Said I do it for the Lord//
Do it for the Good Shepherd//
Do it for the Lord// x2 (Yea)
This is the beginning of what God is doing and the work he is doing as well
Such a powerful message portrayed through music!!! So many of us can relate! Praising God for giving you an avenue to raise a voice for wanting more of Him!!
This man Is blessed and highly favored such an honor its to be part of this ministry and call him my brother
Bro you are awesome man keep up the good work and that god just keep using you in an awesome way
Dope! I’ve actually had the pleasure of listening to a lot of “T.D.’s” unreleased music, and the songs keep getting better & better. Can’t wait to work with that brother some day!
What a true testimony! God has blessed him. Hallelujah
Good song bro keep up the good work!!!
Love this song! So true how we can get caught up doing so much for God but we never actually spend the time with him. Somehow we get caught up in everything else. God Bess you!! #IwantmoreofyouGod
