Rock n Roll tune based on the first chapter of the Book of James
A diverse Christian Rock band whose musical influences reflect everything from Waylon Jennings to Jimi Hendrix to the Clash.
"O come let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation." Psalm 95:1 This verse and others like it in scripture that refer to "joyful noise" have been in a way very liberating to me. I've always had a passion for music, but not necessarily the kind of music that you would associate with God or church. I believe however that the passions in all of our hearts are placed there by an inerrant God. In scripture it is clear that God is much more interested in the heart of the person offering up the joyful noise to him, than he is in how talented, structured or appropriate the noise may be. As kind of a jack of all trades and master of none musically (especially vocals), I have been emboldned by the work of God in my heart and by some open minded and loving friends at church to pursue the passion for musical creativity that God has let lie dormant in me for a long time. My hope is that this site can be a sort of trail of bread crumbs along whatever path the Lord leads me down. Thanks also to www.psalm149.com and all the members there. It's a terrific site for learning to songwrite and record at home.

Story behind the song
This song came about as a result of a complaint from my pastor that there aren't any Christian songs out there about holding your tounge. This was as close as I got with it.
Lyrics
HEAR AND SEE AND SAY Bob August (c) 2004 v1 Help me discern your truth in everything I hear When lying tounges come round don't let me fear Whisper to me Lord and shout down my distractions Always fill my ears up with your passions v2 Reveal your beauty Lord in everything I see Appreciate creation's majesty When tempting visions fly by don't let me look twice Always keep your hand upon my eyes Chorus: Lord my prayer for what I hear and see and say Is that it all might be for you today Help me to live all that I've seen and said and heard Let me be a doer of your word v3 Let your will guide me Lord in everything I say Don't let my words lead anyone astray Let your blessing fall upon this humble song Put your perfect message on my tounge Bridge Faith without works is dead and we're not in this world for long I want to be an ambassador of your grace So whoever sees my life Sees your face
