LET OUR FAITH BE NOT ALONE (click the green play button to listen)
STORY BEHIND THE SONG
I don't endorse daydreaming while driving--bad combination. But sometimes, while driving my old beat up SUV, I am suddenly halfway through writing a lyric before I even realize what is happening. These times are rare, and I wish all my songs came as quickly. "Let Our Faith Be Not Alone" was a song that showed up in full force at my great surprise. By the time I arrived at home, the lyric began to take shape and as I often do in a house full of crazy little ones, I grabbed my guitar, headed to the bathroom and locked the door. I don't have a fancy studio, but the acoustics around my tub are fantastic! The song quickly became a prayer for our church, one that reminds us of the history of our faith-- the martyrs and the saints, the thousands of years of the Church sharing the hope and good news of the gospel, the reformation. God is here to rescue us now just as He has done for a very long time.

(lyrics) Oh God, You are a mystery | We crowd the streets in hopes to see | The Son of Man before our eyes | His holiness uncompromised | Oh God, we have a history | The saints who told of Calvary | And the martyrs who laid down their lives | For the cause of Christ were sacrificed Let our faith be not alone | May our hearts be not of stone | Give us souls that never close | To the grace that You bestow | May our eyes be quick to see | You are here | You’ve come to rescue me Oh God, You are a mystery | Redemption for the world to see | The Son of Man before our eyes | His holiness uncompromised | Oh God, we have a history | The saints who told of Calvary | And the martyrs who laid down their lives | For the cause of Christ were sacrificed You are here | You’ve come to rescue me | You are here | You’ve come to rescue me | Thank You, God | You’re here | You’ve come to rescue me
