Never Mind the Saying

In 1986, I worked with my good friend Bill Biedermann in a High School Youth group.  We did all the music for them. I wrote this song as much for them as for me.  It is a reminder of standing strong for what we know to be true, doing the right thing and calling on the source of truth and righteousness, Jesus Christ.

1)Never Mind the saying that cool is the rule

When it comes right down to it it’s you who’ll be the fool

The crowd is going nowhere that’s one thing for sure

Jesus has the answer He’ll help you to endure

To endure

2) Well now satan’s mighty clever he knows his days are few

He’ll trick you into thinking that what he says is true

But we have got the power through Christ’s blood on Calvary

To send old satan reeling back and bring him to his knees

To his knees

3) So when the pleasures of this world start tugging hard on you

When everything is caving in and you don’t know what to do

Remember God is faithful, He never will forsake

The ones who truly Love Him and all His mercy take

Yea all you gotta do is take it and he’ll give it to you

Without This Song

Without This Song was the first song I wrote.  It was in 1985 that I graduated from college at LeTourneau University in Texas and came home to Woodstock, Il to find a job.  I spent months looking and searching both for work and myself.  I found both.  UPS hired me in April 1985 and my journey with Christ was renewed that year as well. I am extremely grateful for both.

1) I’ve been alone most all my life, doing the things that only seemed right

I thought God was only there for me when I was scared and too afraid, to go on.

2) I finally came home yesterday from many long years of having it my way

It was so hard to do, but now that it’s through, I can’t believe it took this long

C) Now I’m free at last, from the sins of my past

How could I have gone so long without this song

3) This freedom came from an old friend, who I have known since way back when

He always stuck by my side, was always there as my guide because He chose me, long ago

4) Because God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son

That Whosoever believes in Him, should not die but live again

Live again, Live again, So says my Friend
