In the mid nineties, I had a little red Buick and a big ol’ bass box in the trunk, and would listen to “Christian Rock”, cranked to 11.

(What did you say?  Huh?  Can  you say that again, I didn’t hear you….)

I have gotten away from that genre for many reasons, the least of which may be a loss of hearing, but some songs have stuck with me over the decades.

The artist’s I listened to sought to reflect Scriptural teaching for the most part. They ranged from “preaching” pop culture religion to significant theological teaching. As I listened to the lyrics, I found some to be quite challenging.

To be honest, I listened because I could justify the rock beat with “sanctified lyrics”.

Occasionally I will post a song, supply the lyrics and make a comment or two. If you decide to listen to the tune, turn the speaker down unless you are already deaf. Some of the songs tend to have a certain “volume” about them!

Less of Me – by Grammatrain

Seems like I am always in the way
Of who I am trying to obey
I need something to make me understand
I don’t live when I live by my own hand

Is everyone staring holes in me
Sometimes I wish that me they could not see
Like a snowfall dropping down in June
I do what I know I should not do

All I want is to be free
I need so much less of me

All my problems exist and I still say
I believe in who only is the way

Let me know what you think of the lyrics, and of the tunes!
