Metal Core Country???

Here in Greeneville, TN we have an interesting mix.

Of course, there are a lot of people that like country.

This is why I have attended gospel singings in the area; not for the music myself necessarily, but because I know it will draw a crowd. I just want to see people saved.

Then, there's the crowd that likes heavier music (like myself). Most of us are quite content to listen in the privacy of our own homes whether tv, internet, or what-have-you.

I think I discovered a blend of the two genres, sort of.

Tell me what you think via my Space or Face Book.

Deteriorate - Demon Hunter

Love this song. Found the lyrics at http://www.christianrocklyrics.com/

If you have a mySpace account you can give it a listen.

Artist:	Demon Hunter
Album:	The Triptych
Song:	Deteriorate

Time has had its way with me
My broken, tired hands can't build a thing
The wires that have held me still
Embedded now in flesh, define my will
The idle of my days has won
The empty I have fed has made me numb
Despite what you will find in me
The failures of my past still swell beneath

(Pre-chorus:)
I need a heart that carries on through the pain
When the walls start collapsing again
Give me a soul that never ceases to follow
Despite the infection within

(Chorus:)
Our careless feet leaving trails
Never minding the fragile dirt that we all end in

This is where I find my fall
The cares that held me life don't work at all
And every step away from here
Is closer to the plague I hold so dear

Awaiting my end
Breathing in the day that finds me new
Redemption begins
Bleeding out the flaws in place of you

(Chorus)

Easter, Revisited

It all started with some comments on "Easter":

Easter, Really???

Easter, Really?! part 2

Easter, Really?! part 3 

Easter, Really?! part 4

Easter, Really?! part 5

Now I've been upstaged in a most, EXTREME way:

 

 

I just don't know what to say now...

Independence Day Reflection

Independence Day

The day that we won freedom from our British oppressors. We became the United States of America.

Many fought and died that day. They died for a dream; they died for a cause.

God blessed us with the victory so we could have our own country, our own government, one nation, under God...

Freedom.

Freedom is a precious thing, a gift, a gift from God.

A long time ago, God raised up a man to free His people. That man was Moses; the people were the Israelites.

God just wanted the people to follow Him. He promised to take care of them and feed them every day.

God was visible to them in the form of a cloud during the day and a column of fire at night.

All they had to do was follow God and He would take of them...

but they didn't make it. They angered God with their fussing, bellyaching, and threatenings.

They never made it.

We have freedom. We have the same deal - follow God and He will take care of us.

So how are we doing with it, 235 years later?

The so-called "right wing" is politically obsessed,

but where is their god?

Everybody is depressed;

where is their freedom?

People are hard pressed to darken the door of a "church" once a week,

only to just sit there, and, somehow, that is "serving God".

People fuss, bellyache, and threaten.

Is God happy with us?

Are we going to make it?
