THE ANSWER IS JESUS CHRIST

(Listen to the song; #4 on MELTING POT)
So last time I mentioned a song that was written from the headlines in newspapers, and I'm happy to announce that I just loaded it to the Songs page and to the Melting Pot album page on this site. I played around with some sound effects and overlapping vocal parts. The song contrasts the war and destruction going on all over the world with the sometimes oblivious average American. And the main message is that if you look at the big picture, the answer to the chaos all around us is the rule, mercy, and love of Jesus Christ.

I started the song in 1984 and finished up with current events from 2004, so the song spans 20 years.

Thanks to all those who take the time to listen. You make me feel like I'm not doing this in a vacuum after all! God Bless!!! Here are the lyrics:



THE ANSWER IS JESUS CHRIST
Words and music by Reggie Michaud  © 1984

Shells are flying, bombs exploding; somewhere there are children playing
In Beirut the ground is trembling; in Laguna “no nukes” rally on.
Troops watch smoke from burning buildings; Tuesday morning’s just beginning
Fighting lingers in Grenada; Wendy’s has new stuffed potatoes now

And the world says now; “we will mend our ways”
But they can’t see or hear the Spirit calling…

And the answer is clear my friend; what are we searching for?
Yes the answer is Jesus Christ in nineteen eighty four

Chechen terrorists kidnap children; hip-hop drummers prefer Zildgen
Northern Irish reject peace talks; Western health nuts prefer long walks now

Huge tsunami in South Asia; Miss Universe is from Malaysia
Peaceful end for Ronald Reagan; academia studies pagan cults

And the world says now; “we are on our way”
But they can’t see or hear the Spirit calling…

And the answer is clear my friend; what are we searching for?
Yes the answer is Jesus Christ in two thousand and four
And forevermore!
