Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:
        I was praying for a nice simple worship song that people could use to praise
LORD God in church....  I'd been working on a lot of psalms songs,  so started thinking
that I'd like to write a "call and response" song.  Besides, I'd been enjoying playing Bach
around then.

        I sat at the sanctuary piano one day, alone with God.... and wrote this song (music
as well as lyrics)  in minutes.  God's answer.

        A story from the recording studio:  Neither studio hear song lyrics before the moment when I sing the first draft.  Because I wrote this song on Friday on my WAY to my 2nd studio "up North",  my first studio producer Johnny didn't hear it for several days.  After I finished the lyrics at the 2nd studio, my producer Claxton didn't say anything for a few minutes.  Then he commented on the final sentence:  "Wow."
          This final sentence, I am sure, contains words from God not only in warning but in sorrow at how we in the churches so often act:
CHURCHES THAT DON’T PRAY  MUCH ARE SAYING,   
“HEY GOD -- THANKS BUT WE CAN HANDLE THIS PART  ourselves......”

Dedicated to God,  22 April 2011

SPOKEN:  Not asking God to help our church... not praying much, is PRIDE-full, *not* worship-full. Ephesians 3:20-21 -- Churches that don't pray much are saying, 'Hey God, thanks but we can handle this ourselves.'”
NOT ASKING GOD TO HELP OUR CHURCH…  NOT PRAYING  MUCH…

IS PRIDE- FULL  ---
  NOT  WORSHIP-FULL.  Ephesians 3:20-21….
CHURCHES THAT DON’T PRAY  MUCH ARE SAYING,   
 “HEY GOD -- THANKS BUT WE CAN HANDLE THIS PART  ourselves......”
