Ephesians 6:12 Timothy 6:12 Intro (Softly) The enemy lingers at the gate I tell you what he lingers for For our souls he lies there in wait Soldiers, get ready for war! Verse 1 Gird on your the belt of truth Strap the Sword of the Word in its place The breastplate of righteousness too Take up your shield of faith Put the helmet of salvation upon your head Shod your feet with the gospel of peace And in times of fear and of dread Be fervent in prayer and never cease Chorus Don't be afraid when that ravaging lion roars Use the full armor of God in all its might Stand courageous, steadfast and sure Brothers and sisters fight the good fight Brothers and sisters fight the good fight Verse 2 Warriors, we must understand Listen to the words of the wise Our war is not with flesh and blood of man But spiritual wickedness in places high The weapons of our warfare are not carnal ones But mighty through God casting strongholds down Resist the devil and that coward he shall run Weapons formed against you thrown to the ground Chorus Don't be afraid when that ravaging lion roars Use the full armor of God in all its might Stand courageous, steadfast and sure Brothers and sisters fight the good fight Brothers and sisters fight the good fight (Respite) Brothers and sisters fight the good fight Brothers and sisters fight the good fight The Band: Style: LEAF Tempo: 85 Key: D Bass****3496: Bass, Acoustic, AmericanaMountain 16ths Mandolin1699: Mandolin, Rhythm BluegrassWaltz Drums***RealDrums=PraiseWorshipSlow 16ths Guitar 10362: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev Guitar 20785: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming CrossoverSnappy Guitar 30703: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Spirited Cello*****3267: Cello, Background CelticAirFlowingNatalie

Two thumbs up. Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer. It's called the Heineken Maneuver. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

The vocal affectation works for the intro and might even do for the verse but the chorus needs something to lift it from the war monger's rhetoric and old testament imagery into some form of hope. Without some sort of modulation, dynamic change or new instrumentation it's a relentless, dour 3+ minutes BUT it could be easily redeemed with a few simple changes so that it becomes a journey rather than a forced march.

Below are a few references concerning the "Full Armor of God" https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-terms/what-is-the-full-armor-of-god-how-can-i-put-on-the-whole-armor-of-god.html https://christianwakeupcall.com/armor-of-god/whole-armor-of-god/ https://www.christianforums.com/blogs/put-on-the-whole-armor-of-god.57720/ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ephesians%206:10-18&version=NIV https://www.compellingtruth.org/full-armor-God.html The "Full Armor of God" is a "New Testament" concept quoted by the Apostle Paul. Do you realize that when the apostles spoke they were quoting the "Old Testament"? The "New Testament" didn't come along until about 2 centuries after the Apostle Paul's death. War monger? You bet! We are all in the battle of our lives. A spiritual battle with an adversary who only knows to kill, steal and destroy. Hope was always there in both the New and Old Testament...

Thing is, to someone who is not in your choir, the message here doesn't come across as especially hopeful. It's all just about stomping the other team (whomever you believe that comprises, presumably some of your listeners.) Change the language very slightly and this could be a war song about human conflict or a football game.

FULL ARMOUR of God is warrior analogy that isn't really appropriate in relation to the mission of Christ is it? It's certainly not the sort of language and story telling to attract children to the message. The miasma of stories that make up the old n new books are from era where life was of little value, people saw no hope in the life time and would die to escape the living hell that societies were based on for the promise of a better "life". The text is the text and you're very personally committed to it - a way that won't translate of communicate well I suspect but it's your sail and mast. How about the music? I'm interested in the music not your message. Did you consider any suggestions about making the boat more seaworthy? Of making the journey more comfortable?

[/quote] You do realize that Yeshua (Jesus) came the first time as a suffering servant and he's coming back as a conquering king? He's coming back to conquer all of the evil things that have been done to God's children. I can't think of a better thing for any child to know. I would rather have a child know about the righteous might of God than the evil Godless things of this world like Harry Potter or Walt Disney...

Yes, Bob, I know your perspective and understand your fixation as well as your desire to ignore anything contrary to that, but you've missed the communication part. Now, back to the music...how about the dynamics...there's only so much pneumatic hammering from the ideological/dogmatic tool set before the entire tarmac breaks under the strain and the labourer falls into a sink hole along with the chariots. Any chance of an oasis of calm or maelstrom of minims to allow the listen to prepare for the part two? Last edited by rayc; 09/06/21 11:21 PM.
