"God Wins!"

Verse 1
Don't be afraid
No, don't ya fear
Don't ya be troubled
By evil you hear
Pray to the Father
In the name of His Son
That His kingdom comes
That His will be done

Chorus
Don't be deceived by the devil
Or listen to the lies he uses
But be of good cheer my friend
Read the good book and see how it ends
God Wins!
The devil loses

Verse 2
God has a hold of you
Tight in His hands
Put trust in Him
And not trust in man
Repent from your sins
From all be set free
Let God cast them all
To the bottom of the sea

Chorus
Pay no heed to the evil one
For he's the one who acuses
But be of good cheer my friend
Read the good book and see how it ends
God Wins!
The devil loses
Yes, be of good cheer my friend
Read the good book and see how it ends
God Wins!
The devil loses
God Wins!
(Spoken)
The devil loses...

Great to hear something positive and encouraging Bawb.
There's comfort to be found in these lines if one believes.
The simple arrangement works really well.
There're a few suggestions I'd make but I know you'll not be revisiting this to tweak.


Cheers

I like the melody on this.

The acoustic instrumentation works well here.

Oooo, I like that abrupt ending too.

"Don't be deceived by the devil
Or listen to the lies he uses"

I see this too often and people don't even realize the deception.

Nice melody and I like the changes you used. Good write!

And man, that vocal! Would love to hear you sing blues sometime but I know that's not your thing.

Good song, enjoyed.

Hello Bawb,

I'm not a believer, but you made a nice song! A simple, but sweet melody.
Your vocals get stronger as the song continues. There is no doubt at all; you are a true believer!

I had to smile reading Dave's post on singing the Blues or Soul. Why don't you give it a try? Dave can play soul very well.
There are wonderful parts in some movies where this happens in churches. In no time everyone sings along there.

So you can read I have enjoyed your song And the ending: God wins!!!

Hans

Bawb...sometimes simplicity is the most profound way to present Truth...so well said and so good presented unplugged...I am a believer and ultimately "God Wins"...that's the Alpha and Omega of it...I loved this...thanks for posting...Dan

Bawb,

A powerful vocal. The simple backing works well to show it off, too.

Very cool!

I applaud the sentiment in this song!

I feel the same way.

Thanks!!!

P.S. Recent polls indicate about 80% of Americans are sick of all the nonsense going on and when the salt of the earth finally decide to speak up (which is happening) the Bozos who think they are running the show literally will not know what hit them.

People are fed up. From every creed, color, stripe and ideology they have had it. Just watch. It's about to get real.

Feeling rather menacing today, are we?

The supernatural high school football game spirit of "God versus Satan 2021" can be fun enough, even for a heathen such as myself, but now you're identifying your enemies as human and talking about people getting hurt and that's less so.

Anyway, last time someone told me to "just watch, it's about to get real" was right before September 25th, when Trump was supposed to return to the White House, trailing clouds of glory and bear spray. Do you have a specific date in mind?

That vocal is... something else. A whole lot of Tom Waits, only in a higher register. laugh

Melodic, and the accompaniment works nicely. I especially like the hold at the end.

The only bit that threw me off was:

   Repent from your sins
   From all be set free
   Let God cast them all
   To the bottom of the sea


Since "all" is twice removed from "sins", it took me a second to notice that those phrases were connected.

But unlike me, I'm sure your intended audience will immediately get the reference. wink

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Deceptively simple tune coupled to a strong lyric that is presented with deep conviction. Good job all round, Bawb.
