The Song Story
“Common Ground” speaks to the core of who I am and who I’m called to be. I often say that I am a bridge builder. I love creating space for people from different backgrounds where we can have healthy conversations and celebrate our differences. I think that speaks to how the song was written. We were trying to figure out how we can tell the story of the Gospel in a way that’s different and fresh while celebrating differences that exist in the Church. What I love about the Church is that God has called people from different walks of life to follow Jesus together. We come from diverse economic backgrounds and diverse social backgrounds. The Kingdom is full of people from different races all uniting around Jesus. My hope is that Common Ground will not only unite His Church but it will act as a beacon of hope for those who are on the fringes of faith. My hope is that or those who are outside of the church walls can look at us and see us celebrating the commonality that we share together in the finished work of Jesus Christ. and that they will see that real love real and true acceptance is only found in Jesus. The Church itself can be a beacon of hope and God’s Kingdom comes together to celebrate His goodness.
About the Artist
Lloyd Nicks
Lloyd Nicks is a St. Louis based Artist and Songwriter bridging the gaps between Gospel, Contemporary Worship, and Pop music. After completing a degree in Vocal Performance from Greenville University, he traveled internationally leading worship. Lloyd and his wife have decided to plant their roots in the St. Louis area. What an unconventional journey he has had. From his own words, “Everything that could go wrong has went wrong…BUT GOD.”
Lloyd was not raised in a Christian home, and had an extremely abusive stepfather with a mother that was far too broken to leave. It was at the age of 14 when Lloyd began a personal relationship with Jesus. He quickly fell in love with the hymns and songs that would echo throughout the church. It would be those songs that would inspire him to do what he does today. After being a prominent voice in Christian music in St. Louis for many years Lloyd lost his mom to cancer on his 26th birthday. Instead of retreating, it sparked a fire like never before, which leads us to where we are today. Songs like Never Fail, Big God Big Love, Focus, and Learning to Forgive are all birth from a place of total surrender. Lloyd says, ” I’m ready to bring a new flare to Christian music that ignites a passion for Jesus with bold lyrics and the occasional 808.”

The Lyrics
VERSE
Might sing with a little more soul than you’re used to Might come from a different background, different town Different sound, but we still got the same truth
You and I, we came from the same dust Some of us, are going through the same stuff We’re connected to the same blood
CHORUS
If you got Jesus living on the inside
And if your heart is beating with a new life
If you got love, you ain’t afraid to sing about
If you got a firm foundation under your feet right now Then we got common ground
VERSE 2
What if we add a little choir to the backbeat
What if it sounds a little better when we all come together And heaven and earth meet
‘Cause you and I, we came from the same dust Some of us, are going through the same stuff We’re connected to the same blood
CHORUS
BRIDGE
If you can feel it in your soul right now If you were lost but now you’re found If you know what I’m talking about We got common ground
If you’re a sinner who’s been saved by grace Unashamed of Jesus’ name
If you can testify that you’ve been changed We got common ground
CHORUS OUTRO
Might sing with a little more soul than you’re used to Might come from a different background, different town Different sound, but we still got the same truth
