More about Gospel Music…
August 4th, 2007 under Music. [ Comments: none ]

So I have had several comments and emails to my latest post. I guess I should have started talking about music earlier, it seems to get alot of attention ;)

Anyway, I might have not conveyed my point correctly. I simply meant that the music taste isn’t my personal preference, I didn’t mean to imply that there was anything wrong with it. It would be wrong for me to say there is something wrong with old-style, gospel, or hymnal music, just as I believe it is wrong for someone else to tell me there is something wrong with Christian Rock. That isn’t what I believe at all.

And yes, music can be more about praising God than being evangelical, but to draw in a lost crowd of people who might not come to church on a normal basis, shouldn’t this music be a little more progressive? The message too, I think, but I am talking about music at this time. Why do you think churchs like Fellowship get so many members and attendants? The message is the same… the message is Jesus. No matter how watered-down or on-fire it might be, I don’t believe the attraction is the message. The attraction is the music. And after all, aren’t we trying to reach the lost?


Skillet: Rebirthing…
October 11th, 2006 under Music. [ Comments: 1 ]

I lie here paralytic
Inside this soul
Screaming for you till my throat is numb
I wanna break out I need a way out
I don’t believe that it’s gotta be this way
The worst is the waiting
In this womb I’m suffocating

Feel your presence filling up my lungs with oxygen
I take you in
I’ve died

Rebirthing now
I wanna live for love wanna live for you and me
Breathe for the first time now
I come alive somehow
Rebirthing now
I Wanna live my life wanna give you everything
Breathe for the first time now
I come alive somehow

I lie here lifeless
In this cocoon
Shedding my skin cause
I’m ready to
I wanna break out
I found a way out
I don’t believe that it’s gotta be this way
The worst is the waiting
In this womb I’m suffocating

Tell me when I’m gonna live again
Tell me when I’m gonna breathe you in
Tell me when I’m gonna feel inside
Tell me when I’m gonna feel alive

Tell me when I’m gonna live again
Tell me when this fear will end
Tell me when I’m gonna feel inside
Tell me when I’ll feel alive
