BEAM ME UP, JESUS! SUBSCRIBE
ALBUM: Amazing HOPE 'n' Humor
I was experimenting in my home studio with circus-style music for the song 'TIGER DOORS” when I came up with this sound that I really liked. The syncopated music didn't fit my draft words for a narrative song based on Frank Stockton's 1882 short story “The Lady Or The Tiger.” (And it sounds more like baseball game music than circus music!) So, with God's help, I just made up a new song. And, yes, I had been again watching some episodes of STAR TREK the original series around the time I titled this!
Song Story: THE LYRICS:
The Bridge is really short, just a clip of what I had planned, because I “lost my place” in my sheet music as we were recording my vocals. It was very late, so I decided to just stick with the draft vocal until the next studio session. But -- after a week of reviewing the song -- I decided that I LIKED the short, emphatic, pretty sad version.
I've found that ANYTIME I make a mistake, I should pray to see if maybe it was actually God's guidance. I've come up with some really cool weird rhythms and songs that way!

LYRICS
1
Beam..... me....... Beam me UP.
Beam me UP to life without problems.
Beam me up to Heaven on this Earth.
Beam me UP to Life that's full of blessings.
Jesus, You know You said You love me.
So I'm waiting for all Your blessings.
I expect You to keep promises,
Show Your Power, Show You love me.
Prove Yourself, God. I am waiting.
THEN I'll praise You. Then I'll worship.
BEAM ME UP, JESUS! BEAM ME UP!
SPOKEN: First Corinthians 10:13, God promises:
“No TRIAL [sometimes translated “temptation”] has come to you
that is not common to man. God is faithful and with the trial [or temptation]
will provide the way of escape, that you might be able to ENDURE it.“ [New KJV]
2
Beam.... me.... Beam me OUT.
Beam me OUT of temptation, Jesus.
I don't want to work to read Your Word.
Beam me to safe thoughts so I don't give in.
Jesus, You know You said You love me.
So I'm waiting for delivering.
I expect You to keep promises!
You do the work. You pray for me.
Don't expect me to read Your Word.
Save me first and then I'll praise You.
BEAM ME OUT, JESUS! BEAM ME OUT!
Read 1 Corinthians 10:13 again. Then as “verse 3” music begins, read:
But NOTICE the Action verbs.. First we READ God's promises.... Then we PRAY for the Holy Spirit's empowering ---see James 1;5, or Ephesians 3 and Ephesians 6. And then we ACT on God's promises.
Like going to the eye doctor----
BRIDGE
“Show Your Power, Show You love me.......
THEN I'll praise You. Then I'll worship.....”
SPOKEN:
* Imagine a friend who comes to you only when he or she wants something.
* Imagine people who say a quick thanks and leave you until they want something else from you. It's even more painful when these are people you greatly care about. You probably know at least one self-centered person like that. How much do you respect that person?
How much does GOD respect YOU after you pray for help, pray for blessings, pray for protection from temptation?
Do you follow Jesus's words -- or just expect Him to step in and beam you out of your problems and temptations?
3
Beam....me.... Beam me IN.
Beam me into Life that is with You.
Give me wisdom when I read Your Word.
Beam Your light of righteousness upon me.
Jesus, You know You said You love me.
So I'm TRUSTING for delivering.
First Corinthians 10, verse 13.
You are Faithful. You will give me a way out of this temptation.
First Corinthians 10, verse 13.
I WORSHIP YOU.... IN ALL THINGS!
Beam..... me....... Beam me UP.
Beam me UP to life without problems.
Beam me up to Heaven on this Earth.
Beam me UP to Life that's full of blessings.
Jesus, You know You said You love me.
So I'm waiting for all Your blessings.
I expect You to keep promises,
Show Your Power, Show You love me.
Prove Yourself, God. I am waiting.

we learn what is wrong,
we get professional advice and then we get help ---
but only after we ACT upon the help that's offered.
Read--Do, AFTER we pray. BRIDGE
