This new song is called She Said No, written in memory of Rachel Scott who was tragically killed at Columbine High School on this day (April 20) in 1999. She was shot because she believed in Jesus. This is a song that sheds light not only on her sacrifice, but those who risk their lives every day for their faith.The lyrics are based on a poem written by Matt Thompson by the same name. It's our hope that the Scott family and all the others involved with this tragic event will find healing with this song.

She Said No


On a fateful April day he pointed a gun at her head
"Deny your faith in Jesus, or else..." were the words that he said


History will try and hide
To forget her sacrifice


She said no
When told to deny
She stood her ground
And was willing to die
While we stand here and cry all the angels rejoice
She said no
When given a choice
She said no


She wasnt in it for the applause, no this was her gift
She lived to die for a cause so much greater than just a myth


History will try to erase
But truth will remember, she was more than just a face


Chorus

2006 Jesper Bergvall/ Matt Thompson
