slow pop ballad
C'est moi on these songs doing 99 percent of da vocals. 100 percent of rhythm guitar and flute work.
This is some of the music I have written over the years. Most are demos and captured off of cassette tapes to mp3. Some of the songs are with my band, 70 X 7, some are with Ben Stone, and some are with Randy Wright. If this goes over well, I will get busy with music software and add some of the newest stuff. Let me know what you think.

Story behind the song
Are you tired of going through the motions, like your life is in a rut? Are you disillusioned and/or disgusted with American Christianity? Then you'll be able to identify with the message in this song.
Lyrics
Off to church I go, to take more sermon notes. My attendance is a ritual; my choice of pew, habitual. My prayers just ask "Please bless, bless, bless!" But did You save me for this? CHORUS Saved for more than just 3 sermons a week, more than the tithes or their blessings I seek. Saved for more than fulfilling my desires, and more than the things my faith acquires. At prayer the topics turn to the things our faith has earned while we live so satisfied. But do we ever reach outside to touch someone in helplessness? But didn't God save us for this? BRIDGE Somehow I can't help but feel we lost our edge, became unreal when we exercised this precious faith to obtain mere material things! Tell me why few people take any time to care for the broken ones who're everywhere anymore? CHORUS We're saved for more than just 3 sermons a week; far more than the tithes or the blessings we seek! Saved for more than fulfilling all our desires and more than the things than our faith acquires! Saved for more than just 3 sermons a week, more than the tithes and the blessings I seek! Saved for more than fullfilling my trivial desires and more than the things my faith acquires. I'm saved for more than these; I've been saved for more than me... more than me.... more than me.... Saved for more....more than me.... (fade ending)

I love this song Martia - you have captured the essence of the nearness of Jesus to those who really love Him - forget about the opinion of others - I know the Father takes delight in it.
