And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

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”.
Occassionaly 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!
This post will not need to have the volume lowered – It is a great song that a stellar artist published years ago.
Professional Jealousy – Van Morrison
Professional jealousy, can bring down a nation And personal invasion, can ruin a man Not even his family, will understand what’s happening The price that he’s paying, or even the pain
Professional jealousy, started a rumour And then it extended, to be more abuse What started out as just, black propaganda Was one day seen to be, believed as truth
They say the truth is, stranger than fiction But a lie is more, deadly than sin It can make a man very, bitter and angry When he thinks that there’s someone, is going to win
Professional jealousy makes other people crazy When they think you’ve got something that, they don’t have What they don’t understand is it’s, just not easy To cover it all, and, stand where you stand
Professional jealousy, makes no exception It can happen to anyone, at any time The only requirement is, knowing what’s needed And then delivering, what’s needed on time
The only requirement is to, know what is needed In doing the best you know how, deliver on time The only requirement is, to know what is needed Be best at delivering the, product on time.
Van Morrison is an artist’s artist. Just a great song with some good lyrics

Dogman – by King’s X

Give me a coat or give me a bite Give me a light bulb and make sure it’s bright
Give me the moon or give me everywhere Give me some powder to spray up in the air Or give me air
Let me take my thoughts away to think about another day Remembering the times I pray to help me deal with me To be the dogman
Give me some attention lend me your ear Give me what to do and get me out of here
Give me a book give me something to read Give me a horse race and give me who’s the lead
Let me take my thoughts away, to think about another day Remembering the times I pray, to help me deal with me
To be the dogman To be the dogman To be the dogman To be the dogman To be the dogman Dogman
All the sleeping never waking, all the leaves in need of raking All the business undertaking, all my bones and muscles aching Thoughts and mind are surely flaking, over luncheons hands are shaking Surety of no mistaking, cars and horns and glasses breaking
Give me a color make it black or white Give me a newspaper tell me if it’s right Tell me won’t you
Give me a nail or give me a bat Give me a skinny or give me a fat Give me please give me
Remembering the times I pray, to let me take my thoughts away To think about another day, to help me deal with me To help me deal with me, yeah

Oh to be an obedient dogman!

Prime time football in the Buffalo snow Freezing his little epidermis Lifts that banner at the first field goal Drinks clam chowder from a thermos He’s never missed a game, he never spells it wrong He never talks back when they tell him “move along”
Oh, he don’t worry ’bout the critics (They’ll howl for days) He don’t worry bout the cynics (They navel-gaze) He ain’t gonna change the world But he knows who can Bannerman
Sports fans everywhere are dying for a drink But they’ve gotta find the well first One man’s ready with a banner and a wink A whole lotta souls are getting well-versed Every time I see him, I smile a little more I can’t help praying for another high score
Oh, he don’t worry ’bout the critics (They’ll howl for days) He don’t worry bout the cynics (They navel-gaze) He ain’t gonna change the world But he knows who can Bannerman

Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,
who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house.
For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses–as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself.
but Christ is faithful over God’s house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.
Heb 7:24-25

Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

Ruth 4:4-10
So I thought I would tell you of it and say, ‘Buy it in the presence of those sitting here and in the presence of the elders of my people.’ If you will redeem it, redeem it. But if youwill not, tell me, that I may know, for there is no one besides you to redeem it, and I come after you.” And he said, “I will redeem it.” Then Boaz said, “The day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you also acquire Ruth the Moabite, the widow of the dead, in order to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance.” Then the redeemer said, “I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I impair my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption yourself, for I cannot redeem it.” Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging: to confirm a transaction, the one drew off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was the manner of attesting in Israel. So when the redeemer said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” he drew off his sandal. Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses this day that I have bought from the hand of Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech and all that belonged to Chilion and to Mahlon. Also Ruth the Moabite, the widow of Mahlon, I have bought to be my wife, to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his native place. You are witnesses this day.”

Nothings Free – by Alice Cooper
You, me Understand Shake my hand Last chance, little man Ain’t it grand It’s a bargain, it’s a steal 30 pieces of silver And a deal’s a deal
Sign upon the dotted line I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine Nothing’s free Eventually Nothing’s free
From the rules and laws of morality Free to take your fill Free from your own free will Nothing’s free
My boy, it’s getting late I’ll raise the stakes So close Control your fate, why hesitate Seal the deal, close the sale Take my hammer, drive the nail Sign upon the bloody line A drop of yours, a drop of mine Nothing’s free Eternally Nothing’s free
From your conscience or Free from the consequence Free to sin and death Free til your final breath Nothing’s free Free from the claws and flaws of your family Free from obedient life You’re cut like a double-edged knife Nothing’s free, nothing’s free Oh, you pay me
Free to ignore the bore of authority Free to spit in the face Be the winningest rat in the race til Judgement Day Then nothing’s free Bow to me if you wanna be free Free from life, come die with me
And when we’re dead it’s for eternity Come on little one and dance in the fire The heat’s getting close and the flame’s Getting higher When the music’s over there’s a hush In the choir Nothing’s free When the trumpets sound and his light Is all around And the saints all raise from the graves In the ground We’ll be going way downtown Way downtown

Gal 3:10-13
For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”
Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”
But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.”
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us–for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”–
