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
Take a listen!

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

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
