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!

Secret Trees – by Johnny Q Public

You can’t see
Specks beyond the trees
But I’ll forgive
If you forget
Throw your first stone
You’re a big man, make your stand
You’ve done nothing wrong
Are you sure, think again
‘Cause I know a secret
I know a secret

I know a secret that you think that I don’t know
I’m writing in sand
Hoping it will remind you
All have sinned
Let the water wash you clean
‘Cause I know a secret
I know a secret
I know a secret that you think that I don’t know

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