Post-Modern Meaning

A lot of you may remember the old Dick Van Dyke show on CBS. Those who watched it, loved it. It was one of the greats. You can still view entire episodes on YouTube and other places on the internet.

I found the lyrics, the other day, written by the comic genius, Morey Amsterdam. It struck me as I read them that many churches today could use these words as their theme. I can just see Joel Osteen or Ed Young Jr. walking out on stage and tripping. What a laugh that would bring to their congregations.

What do you think?

THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW THEME SONG

(Music by Earle Hagen / Lyrics by Morey Amsterdam)

So you think that you've got troubles?

Well, trouble's a bubble,

So tell old Mr. Trouble to "Get lost!"

.

Why not hold your head up high and,

Stop cryin', start tryin',

And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed.

When you find the joy of livin'

Is lovin' and givin'

You'll be there when the winning dice are tossed.

A smile is just a frown that's turned upside down,

So smile, and that frown will defrost.

And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed!

Thanks Aaron for the fabulous song!
And like the depraved funeral director said to Dr. Kevorkian,
"Thanks for your patients!"

He's Mighty

Here is another song I wrote. This was written a few years after God graciously opened my eyes to His sovereign grace. Most of my songs had a strong rock beat to them. Since you don't know how it sounds, take my word, it had a melody as well.

This one is entitled, "He's Mighty"

He's the Soveriegn Savior of the whole universe

He's searchin' for His people who are under the curse

He'll save 'em, He'll keep 'em, He'll bring 'em on home

Smack dab into Heaven singin' 'round His holy throne

(chorus):

He's mighty - He's mighty - He's mighty

Mum mum mum mighty

One day a dead man was lyin' in a grave

Bad to the bone, stinkin' up the cave

Jesus came by and called out his name

And I'm here to tell you that I've never been the same 'cause

(chorus)

Three crosses on the hill in the heat of the day

One man turned to Jesus, the other turned away

Look at the center cross, bring it into view

Ask yourself this question: On which side are you?

(chorus)

Well He walked on the water, made the blind to see

Cast out many demons when He went to Galilee

Jesus is the answer, He's the One who should be seen

He's the Alpha and Omega and all letters in between

(chorus 3x)
