A New, Rockin' Song: The Connection

The GIPC Band premiered another original song by Dave Martin last Sunday: The Connection.  It's a modern rock song with a driving beat and an infectious sing-along chorus.  "Teach me to see the false prophecy of those who deny in your name." Enjoy and share!

The Connection by Dave Martin

Here I stand, at Your command,
My spirit attends Your direction.
An apprentice whose mind, You mold in Your kind,
This man follows at his election.

Teach me to love!
Teach me to find faith!
Help me let my heart disarm!
Teach me to love with open arms!

Teach me to see the false prophecy of those who deny in your name.
They comb through your Word and they shout that they’ve heard Your call for revenge and for hate.
Oh, teacher of peace I’ll never believe
These prophets can speak in Your name.
When they say, “Deny the meek and the lame.”
I’ll keep my brother just the same.

Teach me to love!
Teach me to find faith!
Help me let my heart disarm!
Teach me to love with open arms!

Teach me to see the false prophecy of those who deny in Your name.
They comb through Your Word and they shout that they’ve heard
Your call for revenge and for hate.
Oh, teacher of peace I’ll never believe
These prophets can speak in Your voice.
I will continue to make the choice
To stop and hear you above the noise.

Here I stand, at your command,
My spirit attends your direction.
Teacher, I’ve learned, your life is the Word,
It all makes sense now I’ve made the connection.
