I originally created the production for my cousin who wanted to use this as background music for his Facebook live scripture readings. I came across @hbusse music and it was a no brainer to see if she would fill in the verses. In a very short time she blessed this track with her message and beautiful voice! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Hannah says:
I was so honored that @nuchoyce asked me to collaborate and write verses for this, as his music is one of my favorite new FAWM finds from this year. I haven’t written much at all in this genre before, so it was a stretching experience for me - but I am so pleased with how it came together. Much appreciation for his beautiful initial track / vocals / chorus to start things off, and his keen ear for production to polish everything up and make it sound amazing!
What The Scripture Means To Me
NuChoyce / Hannah Busse
What the Scripture means to me, yeah yeah
What the Scripture means to me (to me)
Promises are easily made and broken
A flood of words so thoughtlessly spoken
From hearts full of pride or deceit
Unloving, unable to see
(Are we) all just wandering around in the dark
Claiming we can see reality but needing a spark
Well there is a light to help us see
Because God uses words (and God speaks)
He sees reality (clearly)
His heart is for you and me (dearly)
(His words are pure) when He speaks
(They will endure) that’s what the Scripture means to me
What the Scripture means to me, yeah yeah (what the Scripture means)
What the Scripture means to me (to me)
What the Scripture means to me, yeah yeah (what the Scripture means)
What the Scripture means to me (to me)
Just ‘cause you have it memorized
Don’t mean that you will change your life
Or know the heart of God
(Sometimes religion is a roadblock)
It’s not about the laws and it’s not about the rules
It lays my heart bare, what I want is what I choose
God speaks to me with an invitation
Will I help bring the renewed creation
Play my part in the story
Living for his glory, know God is for me (for me)
Submit my will and feed on his words
And bring the kingdom of heaven down to earth
Down to earth
That’s what the Scripture means to me
To me, yeah yeah (what the Scripture means)
What the Scripture means to me (to me)

Chills. Came to this song excited for the musical side and reluctant on the topic, but I'm glad I took a chance. Y'all nailed this.
@davidtaro Feb 2022
Awesome. Vocals from both of you are off the scale. Hannah, so impressed how you've morphed your way into the genre and that you then pull it off so seamlessly!
@bethdesombre Feb 2022
This is great! It sounds really compelling, but what gets to me is the lyrics -- I like having this framed as "What the scripture means to me" while the verses are all about questioning and criticizing how some people interact with scripture ("sometimes religion is a roadblock.") -- and then getting round to what it can/should mean. There's so much going on here!

Excellent production. Everything about it works. Totally impressed. Great collaboration. Love "Blue & Gold" and "Born Again too and of course Hannah's music and voice on "What Scripture means.

Woahhh. Amazing collab! Those vocals, both of you! The harmonies!! Are. SO GOOD. Love that little synth floating about as well. But my days the vocal talent here is just outrageous!!
@kadmad202 Feb 2022
I am speechless! I could on and on about the production values, the arrangement, the incredible vocals, the professional sound to the whole thing. But the words, the words, the words... They hit me straight in the heart. Again, I'm speechless. In the best possible way.
