This song started off as a remix of one from my previous album. The band took off with the cool music idea and then I worked on making the lyrics work. But I had an issue…the lyric of the song I was trying to remix conflicted with the musical intensity. So I decided to start from scratch on the lyrics.
I wanted a song that had the bite lyrically that the music had. And what lyric has that any better than “get up and move on” and don’t sit there in your “pity party?” so I started working it out…took you thru the routine of my morning and the things I have to get over in my head before I even start. Yes…I have to do that [at least if I am going to be productive I do].
Sometimes I think that I’m the only one that has issues and problems. Do you? Well, news flash! I’m not…we are all in the same boat. Seems like I wont ever get to the end of the problem or ever. But for me, there are days when I literally have to shut everything else out and realize things are hard, but I have to suck it up, get up and onward.
So be encouraged when you are going thru your desert and your bad time. We’re in this together and if we can get our eye up and on the focal point (J.C.), then we will find the direction. Sometimes you may not be able to see him but can feel him. Other times, neither, but just move ahead. Not back.
For your devotion today, read Job 23. Encouraging to read about someone who went thru more than I am facing today and his perception of the situation.

Dear JD, the song is wonderful, every time I hear you sing of the wonderful God that we serve. It’s just amazing to think of the words that are coming across the cd and think what a great GOD we serve. Thank you and the POA for wonderful music at BOTT.
