As I continue posting on the diverseness of Christian music, some good, some bad, here's some blues for those who enjoy blues: A "rocky" blues really. And with lyrics from a pastor. Not your typical pastor, but a good one nonetheless, who loves Christ. And who can really play the guitar IMHO.
"Empty promises, that were etched in stone
Scattered by the wind to places I have known
All the burning lamps by the window panes
Lit for their return, but they never came
I lose myself in deep regret
Still I hear a voice that I can't forget"
"Fading hope is gathered as the sky grows dim
Somewhere it's raining, but it's drought within
Out across the desert, was it fate or was it chance?
I saw clouds approaching where I took my stance
Hear the thunder rolling - can you hear the horn?
I'm climbing Jacob's ladder - up through the storm
Stand with me at the Mercy Seat
With mounds of ashes spread about my feet
You know who I am, all I think I know
See it in the marrow, buried deep in the bone
How is there no anger in the words I hear?
Only love and mercy, erasing every fear" -Glenn Kaiser

THIS is, I think, my favorite Rez song ever
Glenn can really sing the blues. And he sings with a heart full of love for his Lord and his neighbor.
I have a few Rez CD's. I did have a lot of their cassette tapes, and LP's way back when.
I wrote to Glenn Kaiser not too long ago and simply told him much I appreciated his ministry and all he does for the Gospel.
he sent me a signed Cd: "Glenn Kaiser Band" Live. All blues on this one.
His Scripture verse to me was 2 Cor. 13:8 "For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth."
God bless you Chris.
