I believe music can inspire, give hope, make you cry, make you think, and a million other things. I want to start posting some music that I really think speak to the times we are in. As you know, I listen to everything so tune in every day, never know what you will get.
For our 12th song, I chose another song from Fearless Soul on YouTube called Be The Change. I have included both the song and the spoken word videos.
I chose this one because there are a lot of people out there wanting change, but what are they doing to make that change happening.
Rioting, looting, violence and killing will not promote change.

For our 11th song, I chose Pray For America by Old Crow Medicine Show. America need’s our prayers right now. It needs love to fall upon the land and take away all this hate.
lyrics: When sorrows are befallen And shadows darken her door When the fever spreads and a silent scourge Outshines her golden shores When a cry for comfort reaches forth Like you never heard before Pray for America Our promised land
America, to thee May God’s hand outreach Lord have mercy on America
When the tears just keep a-fallin’ And the glory light’s gone dim And the barren ground is full of holes We hasten to fill in When the firmest faith is shaken fast By a fear that’s creepin’ in Pray for America Our promised land
America, to thee May God’s hand outreach Lord have mercy on America
Where the peaceful hour is broken By the pounding tumult quake And all is torn asunder What we thought could never break When all your saints come marchin’ Through hell for heaven’s sake Pray for America Our promised land
America, to thee May God’s hand outreach Lord have mercy on America

For our 10th song, I picked Be The Hope by Creed Fisher. He is one of my favorite country artists. I really like this song because he talks about keeping your faith and being the hope in these dark times.
lyrics:
In a road full of darkness I still see the light Get down on my knees and thank the Lord every night For always providing everything that I need I feel the power of Jesus, and His bible I read
The hard times are taking a toll There’s a war going on for my heart and my soul Look up toward the sky, the King still on His throne Stand strong in your faith and be the hope
I’ve always loved the good old US of A It comes from the heart when I stand up and say: I’ll never run from the devil, oh, no I know the good Lord above is still the one in control
These hard times are taking a toll There’s a war going on for your heart and your soul Look up toward the sky, the King still on His throne Stand strong in your faith and be the hope
These hard times are taking a toll There’s a war going on for my heart and my soul Look up toward the sky, the King still on His throne Stand strong in your faith and be the hope Look up toward the sky, the King still on His throne Stand strong in your faith and be the hope Stand strong in your faith and be the hope

For our 9th song, I chose a new song by Rebecca St. James called Dawn. I chose this song because there are a lot of us that are struggling today with depression, fear, anxiety, the riots, the protests, Covid-19, unemployment, etc etc.. but there is hope and there is a light.
lyrics:
Lord, I’m so tired in this fight
Tired of waking up with no end in sight
I feel I’ve got so little left
I know that I’ve come to the end of myself
Help me hold on
Cling to You ’til I see the sun
Held by Your love, I sing alleluia
You’re lifting my heart as I lift my hands
Safe in Your love, I sing alleluia
You’re healing my heart as I lift my hands
Water the garden of my life
With every sorrow, every tear that I’ve cried
Redeem this winter for Your good
Lord, show Your power as only You could
Help me hold on
I’ll cling to You ’til I see the sun, oh-oh
Held by Your love, I sing alleluia
You’re lifting my heart as I lift my hands
Safe in Your love, I sing alleluia
You’re healing my heart as I lift my hands
Even in the darkness, even when it’s hardest You are faithful and You bring the dawn
On every mountain, I’ll sing it even louder You are faithful and You bring the dawn
Even in the darkness, even when it’s hardest
You are faithful and You bring the dawn
On every mountain, I’ll sing it even louder
You are faithful and You bring the dawn
Held by Your love, I sing alleluia
You’re lifting my heart as I lift my hands
Safe in Your love, I sing alleluia You’re healing my heart as I lift my hands
Held by Your love, I sing alleluia
You’re lifting my heart as I lift my hands
Safe in Your love, I sing alleluia
You’re healing my heart as I lift my hands

For our 8th song, I go way back and chose America by Neil Diamond.
I chose this song because, to me, it seems like a lot of people are wanting this country to change to a socialist country. Do those people not understand that people flee other socialist, communist, and dictatorship countries to come to America? They risk their lives, floating across the ocean on home made rafts or packing 200 people on a boat meant to carry 20. Think about that, they risk their lives to come to our country that we are letting die.
We are the best democratic country in the world and think when you vote this year on if you want it to stay that way.
lyrics:
Far We’ve been traveling far Without a home But not without a star
Free Only want to be free We huddle close Hang on to a dream
On the boats and on the planes They’re coming to America Never looking back again They’re coming to America
Home, don’t it seem so far away Oh, we’re traveling light today In the eye of the storm In the eye of the storm
Home, to a new and a shiny place Make our bed, and we’ll say our grace Freedom’s light burning warm Freedom’s light burning warm
Everywhere around the world They’re coming to America Every time that flag’s unfurled They’re coming to America
Got a dream to take them there They’re coming to America Got a dream they’ve come to share They’re coming to America
They’re coming to America They’re coming to America They’re coming to America They’re coming to America Today, today, today, today, today
My country ’tis of thee (Today) Sweet land of liberty (today) Of thee I sing (today) Of thee I sing (today)

For our 7th song, I chose Good Job by Alicia Keys. I wanted to give a shout out to all those on the front lines, working every day to keep our country going.
Thank you!
lyrics:
You’re the engine that makes all things go And you’re always in disguise, my hero I see your light in the dark Smile in my face when we all know it’s hard There’s no way to ever pay you back Bless your heart, know I love you for that Honest and selfless I don’t know if this helps it but
Good Job You’re doing a good job, a good job You’re doing a good job Don’t get too down The world needs you now Know that you matter Matter, matter yeah
You’re doing a good job, a good job You’re doing a good job Don’t get too down The world needs you now Know that you matter Matter, matter yeah
Six in the morning As soon as you walk through that door Everyone needs you again The world’s out of order It’s not as sound When you’re not around All day on your feet, hard to Keep that energy, I know When it feels like the end of the road You don’t let go You just press forward
You’re the engine that makes all things go Always in disguise, my hero I see a light in the dark Smile in my face When we all know it’s hard There is no way to ever pay you back Bless your heart Know I love you for that Honest and selfless I don’t know if this helps it but
Good Job You’re doing a good job, a good job Good job You’re doing a good job Don’t get too down The world needs you now Know that you matter Matter, matter yeah
It’s a good job You’re doing a good job, a good job Good job You’re doing a good job Don’t get too down The world needs you now Know that you matter Matter, matter yeah
The mothers, the fathers The teachers that reach us Strangers to friends That show up in the end From the bottom to the top The listeners that hear us This is for you You make me fearless
You’re doing a good job, a good job You’re doing a good job Don’t get too down The world needs you now Know that you matter Matter, matter yeah

For our 6th song, I have picked If I Were The Devil by Trent Tomlinson. I picked this one because, well, if I were the devil right now and looking at our country, I would think things couldn’t get much better.
lyrics:
If I were the devil I’d find a way somehow To make man think he created god And not the other way around What you’d see on TV Would seem like the gospel truth I’d make right look so wrong And make wrong look so cool Anything to you out of heaven If I were the devil
If I were the devil Everyone would just see color I’d take all religions And then turn em against each other I’d sit back and love it And watch love fuel the hate Then light fires on the evening news And let em fan my flames Bring everybody down to my level If I were the devil
I would just keep doing what I’m doing Cuz what I’m doing’s sure is working out If you don’t believe me I can prove it All you need to do is look around Yeah, I’d be thinking things can’t get much better If I were the devil
I would just keep doing what I’m doing Cuz what I’m doing’s sure is working out If you don’t believe me I can prove it All you need to do is look around Yeah, I’d be thinking things can’t get much better
If I were the devil When it’s all said and done I’d be the coward that I am And I’d tuck tail and run I’d hide out in my darkness That I’m destined to regret If were the devil Hell, I’d be scared to death

Choose to be kind and kindness will come back to you. Lift others up, help others. Integrity is everything. We can make this world a better place.

For our third song, I picked Be A Light by Thomas Rhett. I picked this song because there is so much negativity and darkness out there right now, you can be the light that shines through all that darkness. Be kind, be helpful, be positive.
Lyrics:
In a time full of war, be peace In a time full of doubt, just believe Yeah, there ain’t that much difference between you and me In a time full of war, be peace
In a world full of hate, be a light When you do somebody wrong, make it right Don’t hide in the dark, you were born to shine In a world full of hate, be a light (La-la-la, la, la, la, la)
In a place that needs a change, make a difference In a time full of noise, just listen ‘Cause life is but a breeze, better live it In a place that needs a change, make a difference
In a world full of hate, be a light When you do somebody wrong, make it right Oh, don’t hide in the dark, you were born to shine In a world full of hate, be a light La-la-la, la, la, la, la La-la-la, la, la, la, la La-la-la, la, la, la, la La-la-la, la, la, la, la
In a race that you can’t win, slow it down Yeah, you only get one go around ‘Cause the finish line is six feet in the ground In a race you can’t win, just slow it down
In a world full of hate, be a light (oh) When you do somebody wrong, make it right (make it right) Don’t hide in the dark (don’t hide in the dark), you were born to shine In a world full of hate, be a light
Yeah, it’s hard to live in color, when you just see black and white In a world full of hate, be a light
My God, My Music, My Life
