This jazzy number came from the days when I was jamming with Mark Crafford, Sam Pagano and a number of others who were in and out of our band. At one point we had auditioned so many drummers that we actually thought we were running a ministry to disciple drummer wannabes. The lyrics were influenced by a book I was reading by Watchman Nee called Spiritual Authority.
Even my wife was surprised by how quickly this song came together. I think I finished it in about three days. The piano part is the most ambitious I've played to date; that being I'm not a keyboard player. But who knows, maybe there's hope! I had a vision of creating a sound similar to Joe Jackson in STEPPIN OUT.
The trumpet sound comes from my Roland guitar synthesizer and Godin XTSA. With every song I record, I learn something new. This time I gained some valuable experience quantizing and editing midi tracks.
GOD’S ONLY BEGOTTEN SON

Jesus carried the cross for the world
Jesus carries our sins even now
God’s only begotten son became man
Was lifted in glory to His Father’s right hand
Praise the Lord for His son, given to us
Praise the Lord for His love, He gave up His life
Praise the Lord all ye saints, fall on your knees
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ, call on His name…Praise the Lord
Jesus laid down His deity for mankind
Jesus established authority for all time
God’s only begotten son became man
Was lifted in glory to His right hand
Praise the Lord for His son, given to us
Praise the Lord for His love, He gave up His life
Praise the Lord all ye saints, lift up your hands
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ, He’s coming again…Praise the Lord
