Eat the fish and spit out the bones. - D.L. Moody, I Thess. 5:21 (spiritual discernment) It's a bit more polite to 'pick out the bones' than to spit them. The Bluegrass genre does a lot of pickin', besides.

Many genres, Contemporary Christian, Lyrics, instrumentals
I write my own songs ;) I have a very diverse taste in music, from Pop to Classical, including Rock, Folk, Jazz, Country, World Music (Celtic, Romanian), Old Timey Stringband/Bluegrass, and Latin. All these styles are in my Christian Contemporary catagory. I usually write the music first, and then put words to the music. Though I don't sing good enough yet, I though I would put my instrumentals out along with my music. Generally, I think my music/lyrics are getting better, being more skilled now than when I started.

Lyrics
Pickin' Out Bones (I Thess 5:21) You can take his high opinions (or) You can leave them all behind You can take his social theories (or) You can give them all no mind But when it comes to the bible The real truth comes through just fine To discern the gospel message Means that Jesus still can shine Chorus: Pickin' out bones Checkin' truth like fish exposed Pickin' out bones Seek the Word that God disclosed Pickin' out bones Sort the catch just as it should Pickin' out bones Take a hold on to the good Pickin' out bones You know, some were for Apollos And then, some were more for Paul There were preachers seeking glory And then, some felt least of all But the Word of God was published Though some men had 'dropped the ball' So, our God was given glory And the people heard God's call (chorus) Bridge: In a land across the ocean Some two thousand years ago Was a preacher that had started this good news And he preached it to the poor And he healed the blind and lame And he promised to those who believe A heart that flows with - Streams of living water flowing, Streams of living water flowing Some wear wide and bright suspenders And a bow tie to impress They're so full of all their stories Pardon them if they digress But the Spirit even shows then Without words that can express When the aim of the whole sermon Is to equip and to bless (chorus) Outro (tag): So, do all you can to God's glory And leave all the results to - Jesus copyright David Davis 2009 http://postadavisongs.50webs.com/PickinOutBones.html
