Put together with the help of some very special friends. We do Contemporary Christian songs in a variety of genres.
Not so much a band, more like some guy behind the scenes - hence the name SGIW, which stands for Some Guy In Wisconsin...or something like that.

Story behind the song
This is part of a song cycle drawn from my read of the Book of Proverbs. I picked up on a variety of themes and have written several songs. I was blessed to have a friend who volunteered to contribute his able vocals to the project. Enjoy!
Lyrics
Righteous ManA Song From the Proverbs Now a lazy man won't get out of bed, He says, "There's a lion in the streets, I could wind up dead!" And a fearful man's always running scared He turns his tail to run even when there's nothing there. But a righteous man, he is keen and bold, Lord, make me a righteous man before I get too old! Now a drunken man doesn't stop to think, The only thing he wants is to find another drink. And a careless man folds his hands to rest, All the work he's done won't pass the final test. But a righteous man is like gold refined, Lord, make me a righteous man while I've still got the time. (instrumental interlude) Well, a wicked man, he may dig a pit, But not much time goes by until he falls in it. And a prideful man thinks he knows it all, Doesn't understand that he's set himself up for a fall. But a righteous man, he will take a stand, Oh Lord I want to be a righteous man! © 2000 Steve Christy/SGIW Music
