Wheeling and dealing to get what we want, instead of working for, saving for, and therefore earning what we get, has become the bane of modern man. We want what we want when we want it, and will go to any lengths to get it, as fast as we can, without

Praise and worship of Jesus Christ in an Eclectic blend of acoustic and electric guitars. The words are from The Word and my Christian testimony of the struggle
Why do we do what we do, or believe what we believe? Some judge the materialistic as all there is. But, where does the beautiful painting of artistic expression in canvas, word, music and thought come from? From where do we derive altruistic love and feeling for one another? The materialistic explanations fall short of elucidation, let alone understanding of the incorporeal and/or supernatural aspects of our lives. So much so that the inadequate reasoning of the materialists become illogical and incomprehensible. So, why the opposing worldviews? If you believe the material world is the only answer, I would ask that you open your mind to the possibility of your own self imposed limitations. Does the well rounded mind limit itself? Where then does growth come from? In my personal life, I have found music can be a healing balm, a positive motivator and a conduit to profound worship. The music my Lord has given me to play and minister with, are in conjunction with my testimony, my life’s story, and the gifts He has given me. Along with studies for a Masters Degree in Christian Apologetics and Polemics, I am also completing studies for a Masters degree in Theology as well. Again, I feel that you never quit learning, nor are we supposed to. You become stagnant if you remain static! Thanks and God Bless Ron

Lyrics
Fools The fool's smile while their best plans are laid With Faustian like covenants, their cold blood, the wage Wretched fingers reach to prizes just beyond their grasp While the foul dragon's deceit exceeds their deflated lungs last gasp .............................Deflated lungs last gasp Misery loves misery and that old snake lusts for company As itching ears crave his dark lies Man's wisdom betrays him while hell accepts and engulfs him And in his horror goes Satan's delight ..................................Goes Satan's delight Abba's Truth was given with the Word's wisdom delivered Through simplistic and child like faith Man's wisdom made foolish by God's Love given freely Through the blood covered hope of His grace.... (Hope of His grace) ................................The Hope of His Grace 2006 © Ronald E. Gragg

I really like this song, man! That old school acoustic guitar feel really carries the song. I could definitely find myself tuning into a radio station and hearing this on one. It's music close to your heart, which is the best music you can make. Keep it up!

Ron Gragg has a power of Praise and Worship that is always close to my heart with excellent lyrics, music, and song. Nice clean guitar and statement of song subject with excellent transitions and melodic acoustic sections. Really cool leads. Great job!!
