I've always wanted to play electric guitar at church. At home with my older brother and sister I can. I can also play tackle football, and learn to program computers. At school I have to hide that I excel in math & computers. Why can't I play guitar at my church? Why do I have to wear a dress? Why would God only give me helper "gifts"? So much about church is about gender stereotypes. God blessed me with a lot of gifts, including electric guitar, the tuba, football, math and computers. Praise God for making me a woman AND for his gifts. I think this is a helpful post, but I want to chime in with Michelle. I’ve always wanted to play electric guitar at church.

Best song musically (yeah, I like it hard) and the lyrics are great as well: We will not fear, Though the earth gives way Though mountains fall Into the sea We will not stray Though waters roar God is our strength Come and behold The works of the Lord Righteous and peace Righteous surround He lifts his voice Earth melts away Still He is great Be still and know that I am God Be still and know that I am God He says, Be still and know that I am God He says, Be still and know that I am God Be still (from Psalm 46) Their version of "Come Thou Fount" is also very, very good.

Wow! Best song musically (yeah, I like it hard) and the lyrics are great as well:

We will not fear,
Though the earth gives way
Though mountains fall
Into the sea
We will not stray
Though waters roar
God is our strength

Come and behold
The works of the Lord
Righteous and peace
Righteous surround
He lifts his voice
Earth melts away
Still He is great

Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know that I am God
He says, Be still and know that I am God
He says, Be still and know that I am God
Be still

(from Psalm 46)

Their version of “Come Thou Fount” is also very, very good.

Found this post searching for Red Letter / Mars Hill lyrics to put in iTunes so I can worship along on my iPod "The first is that as a sinful human, I don’t care enough about others. I am self-centred and unless someone is very close to me, I don’t feel the need to save them from God’s wrath." Well said. Sad reality. May God light our fire to care to share the hope within us with the walking dead all around us despite the cost (which in America - jaded opinions, gossip, & verbal slander - lets face it... it's quite weak in contrast to many other hostile environments to the Gospel) Thanks for the Destructor lyrics!

Ideas - can we get the lyrics to people who buy the digital copy? Maybe bundle a couple of pdf's with the mp3s, or add them to the facebook page, or get Rhys to make a separate page] on niteev.com/live Cos I like singing along, so I imagine lots of other people do as well. Peace out bro Hey dan – loving it!
