I never thought I’d preach the Gospel
I never thought I’d be a preacher man
I watched in Church
As a man danced & sang ,,,,as if he was possessed
I asked myself
“Can music & God mix?” who,,,, has the answer?
I’d sit in church with Momma
There was no singing
Certainly!,,,,no dancing
We were there it seemed
To listen to the word of God
It was all,,,, very solemn
Later in my life
My wife takes me to a Church
There is a band,,, on stage
The lights went down
The ‘band’ came out
I thought,,, “What is this?”
They kicked off a song
They rose in their pews
A singer,,, started dancing
I thought to myself
“What is this”?
How can you pay respects,,, like this?-----------------Break!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It took me a long time
To see the light
Bands like Crowder,
for King & Country
Showed me
You can have both!
So here I am
Singing the Gospel
As the lord,,,,, Intended!

Tomorrow Is Moments Away
by Cody Clegg

Check out Cody's metal instrumental " Weight." Great lead guitar playing and I was bopping my head to the whole song and I love the dynamic changes from quiet to full bore shred. dataSlip
