Lost on a lonely road
I was chasing the high life
Tryna satisfy my soul
All the lies I believed in
Left me crying like the rain
Then I saw lightning from Heaven
And I’ve never been the same”

I was baptized in the state penitentiary. I was the only man in there blasting this song over the tiers. No body complained. LOL. Today, I am a back in the community, involved in street ministry and beginning my own outreach and after care ministry. Praise God

I’m a 60-year-old pastor and radio broadcaster to Africa and more on fire for Jesus than ever. This song just increases that passion and zeal for Him. It gives meaning and application to Ps. 130:4: “There is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared.” The song also makes great use of so many of the Psalms that call for loud musical instruments, dancing, and shouting to the LORD — and yet with reverence and truth. I believe King David would be proud 🙂

I stood at the doorway to my daughters room, and this song was playing on her radio. She didn’t know I was there until I sang too loudly. Then we sang together. Praise the Lord.

Watching these kids gives me hope for the world. Being 67 years young I listen with my heart and it makes me cry good tears. God bless you all !!!!

The first time I heard this song I honestly felt like finally, there’s someone else who suffers from anxiety and depression like I do. Whomever God anointed to write this song, y’all nailed it. I’ve been to the lowest point, even as a believer, and this song really spoke everything I couldn’t ever bring myself to say. I can honestly say I’m still alive because this song was playing when I had a belt around my neck and was trying to find someplace in my mobile home that was gonna support my weight. I’d been on a steady emotional decline since my mom died in June of last year, and being unmedicated for my depression was only making it worse. Honestly, unless you suffer from depression or mental illness, you can’t comprehend the depths of despair and depression you can get to. And it’s not always as simple as “praying it away”, because Satan, one of the first things he does(at least to me) is harden my heart and draw my eyes away from Jesus. We buried mom the first week of July, and I’d say it was around Christmas that I had this encounter. It’s been slow progress, because for every step forward, it seems I get knocked 3 steps back. But this music really gets through to me. It isn’t sanctimonious as a lot of worship music come across to me. It really feels like, I might never hear the audible voice of God this side of heaven, but through these musicians I know He loves me and is there with me even when I’m not looking His way. God bless y’all!!

“ I’ve been blinded by insecurities”… that speaks to my heart so much
Major Victory, 2 years ago:
“why do I do the things I don’t wanna do when all they do is hurt me?”. That line hits a little close to home for me
Annetty Ledesma, 2 years ago:
The bridge* is my favorite part. It hits very deep because I’ve prayed the exact same thing over and over again. I’m so thankful for the love and forgiveness of God and for this song written so honestly. Love you guys!
I don’t wanna do
I don’t wanna do
When all they do is hurt me?

I work with people with a lot of pain, low self esteem and anger. I have used this song as a way to reach out and 6 have prayed with me the “SOS prayer” and I have seen them find the comfort and grace they have sought. Thanks WTK for these lyrics
Marcos Dylan N. G., 2 years ago:
This is the most honest song I’ve never heard before. Sometimes we feel this way and nobody can deny it. Bless you guys! It was like David crying in anxiety, praying for help from heaven
Insecurity
All the pain I feel
Could be the death of me
I’m surrounded by
Fear that won’t let go
If there’s a way out
Someone let me know”
I fall to my knees
And breathe in Your peace”
When you think you won’t make it through
Just look up and count the stars
I will be there for you”
Didn’t feel like Saturday night
…
What if church music felt like rock n roll?”
Is listening to me
Why should I worry?
Why should I fear anything?
For I know the plans He has for me
Yes, I know the plans He has for me
For my good
To give me a hope and a future
When I am waiting
For His promise to come
Sometimes He is silent
But I’m never alone”
In front of me
And I don’t know what to do
I lift my head
And remember that
My God will come through
Said won’t He do it
Yes He will
Won’t He do it
Yes He will
He’ll take a storm
Make it still
Won’t He do it
Yes He will”
See castles in the sky
Gonna soar on wings like eagles
Into the bye and bye
Gonna see paradise
Where joy will never end
You know there will be dancing
And I’m gonna spin in the wind
One day
One day
I’m gonna fly in Heaven
Over the crystal waves
One day
One day
All of my fears forgotten
All my tears wiped away”
He will want to drive
Don’t let the devil ride”
He’ll tell you what to do
Don’t let him talk to you”

This is track 6 from the 1980 album “Rejoice”.
Written by Bob Dylan
Caesar was born in 1938, when “the tobacco factories were blooming,” she remembers. “As a child growing up, we still had dirt streets. And potholes.” She remembers being carried to church; church has been one constant in Caesar’s life, and singing has been the other.
Caesar’s father, Big Jim Caesar, was a gifted gospel singer. He died when Shirley was still a child, leaving behind her handicapped mother and 11 other children. Times were incredibly difficult, but Caesar says she had a wonderful childhood nonetheless, immersed in church and family life. “My brothers, they had quartets … we were just like chips from my father’s tree,” she says. “It was marvelous. Pretty much all of the Caesar side of my family are singers, either singers or preachers.”
To hear her tell it, Shirley Caesar has never experienced adversity: from getting a whipping to being hungry and penniless in a strange town, it’s been “a blessing in disguise” to her.
“Mama told me and my sister Anne to wash the dishes,” Caesar says. “I didn’t want to do it, I said I’m not going to put that water on my hands. Got in trouble. After we’d gotten that whipping, I would wash and Anne would dry. We knew nothing about having air conditioners then, all we had was the big window. So, when we had the windows up, our voices just penetrated the atmosphere, into the hearts and the homes of people and passersby.”
Baby Shirley Caesar, as she came to be known, would sing from then on, every chance she got, traveling on weekends to churches all over the Carolinas and Virginia. In 1957, when Caesar was 19, the premier gospel group The Caravans, headed by gospel music icon Albertina Walker, came through North Carolina to perform. Noting that the group needed a fourth singer to form a quartet, Caesar followed The Caravans to a show in Kinston. “I felt in my spirit that if Albertina Walker heard me sing,” she says, “she would want me in her group.”
Caesar wrote a request on a piece of paper: “Please call on Shirley Caesar to sing a solo.” Walker did call on Caesar; she sang her solo, Thomas A. Dorsey’s “The Lord Will Make a Way Somehow.” Walker was so impressed with Caesar’s performance that she asked her friend the Rev. C.L. Franklin (father of Aretha) to ask Caesar’s mother for permission for her daughter to travel with The Caravans.
Having finished her first year at North Carolina College (now N.C. Central University) and unable to afford tuition for the next one, Caesar said, “I sold my biology book and caught a bus to D.C.,” where The Caravans joined her the next day. Thus began her singing career and her new life on the road.
“We have far more fond memories than we do bad memories,” Caesar says of touring with The Caravans and other gospel groups. She recalls singing in venues such as the Apollo, Madison Square Garden, the Grand Ole Opry, Radio City Music Hall. In Kentucky, which Caesar knew was the Bluegrass state, she looked for grass “the color of the sky or a robin’s egg.”
To anyone else, Caesar’s bad memories would be spirit-crushing. “There have been times when I’ve gone to cities to sing, and while we were singing the promoter would just skip with the money,” she says. She remembers being lonely, broke and hungry, occasionally, while traveling on the road; even groups as well known as The Caravans were not well paid.
“Racial discrimination kept us out of the more decent hotels and restaurants,” Caesar writes in her autobiography, The Lady, the Melody and the Word, “but even if it hadn’t, it wouldn’t have mattered. We didn’t have the money to stay in the nicer places anyway.”
After eight years with The Caravans, during which, Caesar notes proudly, she never missed a single show, she decided that it was time to go solo. She wanted to minister God’s word, she says, and her packed schedule with The Caravans didn’t allow for that. Caesar took to the road herself, singing and preaching all over the country. She won her first Grammy in 1970. She’s released more than 20 albums and a dozen singles, including one in 1984 with Al Green, “Sailin’ on the Sea of Your Love.”
And all those who have ears
It is only He
Who can reduce me to tears”
Heart fixer, mind regulator, true to the end
My creator, my comforter, my cause for joy
What the world is set against but will never destroy”
Is there something holding you back?
Are you thinking for yourself
Or are you following the pack?
Are you ready, hope you’re ready
Are you ready?”
Some verses
Where courage is a thing of the past
Houses are haunted, children are unwanted
The next day could be your last
…
We live in a political world
Everything is hers or his
Climb into the frame and shout God’s name
But you’re never sure what it is
The day that will live on in infamy
» lyrics on bobdylan.com
“If you see me through the smoke
Them fake highs are a joke
A counterfeit at most – That’s why you runnin’ back for mo’
A void that’s never filled up by the liquor that you pour
You could laugh but yo I cry at how the system’s got you broke
I ain’t talking bout cha dough
I’m alluding to ya soul
If you understand the depths of what I’m spittin’ you would choke
I’m not a stranger – I’m ya bro!
Not an enemy or foe
I’ve been praying for ya best that’s why this cup now overflows”

“We’d have to rethink – what it is – that we think we’re resistin’
And get some better arguments for this God that we’re dissin’
Cause when I checked it out – most arguments are lies
Nonsensical attempts to cut cha power source to rise”

V1
I hear the savior say Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness, watch and pray find in me thine all in all
Ch1
Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow
V2
Lord, now indeed I find Thy power and thine alone
Can change the leper’s spots and melt the heart of stone
Ch1
V3
And when before the throne I stand in Him complete
Jesus died my soul to save my lips shall still repeat
Ch1 x2

He washed it white as snow
He washed it white as snow

O praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
Tag2
O praise him
O praise him
O praise him
O praise
“All of us have crossed the lines. All of us have gone too far and said too much. All of us have done things that we wish we had never done. But…
more
To fill my hearts desire
And traded all my peace to find the answers
I’m constantly exhausted
By the racing of this life
But once I stop and wait and let You enter”
