Reign

It was suggested that I take the time to explain the music on the new record.  So from time to time I will pick out a piece and talk about how it came to be.  So I will start with the CD's first release "Reign".  

I wrote some lyrics to the music when I first heard it - right on the spot.  As I began to meditate on the words I wrote, I realized that I liked them but they didn't truly speak to me.  Later that evening, I prayed and got into my quiet place and wrote new words.  The new words that I got from God moved me.  

A lot of people believe that their present position in life, their "spiritual pedigree", simply being nice or spending a lot of time in Church is the extent of what you need to be successful as a Christian.  Those are wonderful things, but they won't get you to where you are truly seeking to be.  We are all seeking the peace of God.  That only comes from drawing close to him and allowing him to fill you with his Love.  When we finally accept and truly believe that God loves us, we start to see things differently. We realize that God is bigger and more powerful than ANYTHING that we could ever face - and he truly LOVES us.  Issues don't have the power that they used to have over us.  The most powerful being in existence loves you and calls you his child.  His love validates.  His love molds us, shapes us... makes us real.  

The Holy spirit of God living in us changes us into something more than we could even imagine we could ever be.  When we let the Holy Spirit rule or "reign" in us, we operate on earth in the total power of God.  That concept is what created this song.  

It doesn't matter where you come from, 

or even where you are

There's a place in your heart 

that only God can fill

It doesn't matter how nice you

Or even if you go to church real hard

You gotta have the love of God 

And only love makes you real, makes you real

Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit

Let your presence Reign in me, through me

Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit

Let your presence Reign, Reign

Father I pray that this

Word reaches your children

Even those of us 

Who still don't yet believe

Its your love on us

That makes us whole and keeps us

Only in your presence Lord

Can we truly be free, be free  

Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit

Let your presence Reign in me, through me

Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit

Let your presence Reign, Reign

Holy Spirit Reign

Let your spirit Reign in me

Holy Spirit Reign

Let your spirit Reign in me, in me

Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit

Let your presence Reign in me, through me

Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit

Let your presence Reign, Reign

This will be out in the next 8 - 10 days.  I'll be sure to let everyone know when.  Take these words into your spirit.  Let the presence of God rule in your heart.  Stay prayed up.  Keep praying for me.
