2 More New Songs
June 9th, 2006
On March 17th, while walking around the Walmart parking lot waiting for the mechanics to change my oil in the old Envoy, the idea for a song just struck me (and fortunately, I had just bought some pens and pads of paper in said Walmart). Many of us as Christians turn into Chicken Little when something bad happens on a national scale. Oh no, CNN is putting a liberal slant on the news…again, oh no, some Senator in Congress is proposing legislature that may restrict my rights, oh no, Bush’s approval ratings are at an all-time low, oh no, Hillary Clinton my run for President…and win, oh no, THE SKY IS FALLING!!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!! Panic sets in and reasoned thought flies out the window.
Sure I don’t like it when bad things happen, but God Is Still God and God’s still in control! It’s a simple message for a song, but sometimes we need to be reminded of that simple message. Regardless who is in power and what their goals are; regardless of how we as Christians are represented in the media; regardless of what the DaVinci Code says about our Savior…God Is Still God!
For several years I had been tossing around the idea of writing a patriotic song. I love America, I love those who fight and die each day for the freedoms we share and for the safety of our families. With all the Anti-American, Anti-Soldier sentiment going around today, I decided, when I got home fro Wal-mart, that it was time to finish up the idea I had jotted down on a business card. This idea became the title song of our new CD - Soldiers. It is a big inspirational patriotic “thank you” to those who sacrifice for our country with a suprise twist at the end. For those of you who remember “The Couriers”, know the song “The Statue Of Liberty”. This is a similar 2006 version of that theme.
