A positive song about the church
A diverse Christian Rock band whose musical influences reflect everything from Waylon Jennings to Jimi Hendrix to the Clash.
"O come let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation." Psalm 95:1 This verse and others like it in scripture that refer to "joyful noise" have been in a way very liberating to me. I've always had a passion for music, but not necessarily the kind of music that you would associate with God or church. I believe however that the passions in all of our hearts are placed there by an inerrant God. In scripture it is clear that God is much more interested in the heart of the person offering up the joyful noise to him, than he is in how talented, structured or appropriate the noise may be. As kind of a jack of all trades and master of none musically (especially vocals), I have been emboldned by the work of God in my heart and by some open minded and loving friends at church to pursue the passion for musical creativity that God has let lie dormant in me for a long time. My hope is that this site can be a sort of trail of bread crumbs along whatever path the Lord leads me down. Thanks also to www.psalm149.com and all the members there. It's a terrific site for learning to songwrite and record at home.

Story behind the song
This song came from a passage in the bible (can't remember the exact quote) in the OKJ that refers to believers as God's Heritage. The words just stuck with me.
Lyrics
God's Heritage Bob August (c) 2006 Chorus: We're God's heritage The seed that He grew The fruit in His branches We're rooted in His truth The history of Jesus, still fresh on our minds The promise of His second coming, with us all the time The gates of hell a shambles, He's given us His power The church of His peace and hope, we're growing by the hour A legacy of His love, a people set apart A haven for those in pain, a healing for their hearts A city upon a hill, a light for the world to see Salt of the earth we live in, we sing of His majesty Bridge Church of Jesus Bride for the groom Lord make us worthy We're trusting God in You
