 Re:

You won't hear this one on the radio, and you won't hear this in church either...

[url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=qR8AR3heu-w]Brave Saint Saturn - Under Bridges {youtube -music only) [/url]

Yesterday while walking
Beneath an overpass
I saw the figure of Jesus
Standing barefoot on broken glass

His beard was graying
Smell of urine filled the air
Asking if I had some change
Anything that I could spare

Emaciated
His shaking fist balled up
Influenza and pneumonia
Begging God to take his cup

So different from his pictures
Breathing air through yellowed tubes
Jesus Christ, dying of AIDS
Can look right through you

And all have hated
Crucified and walked away
Savior of the prostitutes
Drunkards, rapists, and the gays

Under Bridges,
With hands raised
From the ghettos
They praise His name

Broken, crippled
In the dark of night
Raise your voices
To Jesus Christ

Hallelujah

 Re:

I don't know too much about Acquire the Fire. I don't know if they are worldly or not. At first glance I think they might be. However, if such is the case, they are not much more different than your typical Southern Gospel quartet. Especially of the Bill Gaither variety. Now if you want to see some worldly Christian singers, tune in for your Gaither Homecoming Classics sometime. Oh, their worldliness is not as overt, because they aren't dressed like a punk band. But the level of showmanship put into each performance is just the same, even if less flashy wearing a 2 or 3 piece suit. It's amazing how Christian our discernment really is.

 Re:

Another sermon you won't hear in many churches... because it has to do with [i]pride and mammon[/i] both of which the American Church tends to turn it's back to.

[url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=Hnip7DSP2Rw]OC Supertones - Little Man {youtube video}[/url]

Keep both my eyes transfixed on the prize
A high-rise to the blue skies my piece of the pie
There's a hole in my heart that I know how to fill
That's to light my cigarettes with a hundred dollar bill
It's all about cash flow the California dream
To make the grade you gotta make the green
My friend I'm the champion I've no time for losers
Never ask for nothin 'cause beggars can't be choosers

Lookin' our for number ones's a full time occupation
I'll give to me myself and I my own salvation
Some people try to tell me God can save me from my sin
But God can take a number and I'll pencil Him in
Busy oh so busy I got no time to search
My Sunday's are all booked I've got no time for church
That's for those poor souls, dry as a stone
God bless this child 'cause this child's got His own.

[b]Oh, let my pride fall down I'm a little man
Oh, let my pride fall down I'm a little man[/b]

He who gets the most toys and dies is the winner
I'm livin' the high life with lobster tail dinners
My Lexus, my yacht, my gold chains and rings
These are a few of my favorite things
But most of all I keep my billfold the closest to my heart
House decorated with million dollar works of art
Roll with the Bigwigs they think I'm the man
But then I stop and look and think about how big I really am

[b]Mammon is an unforgiving God, I cast him away
I live my life to God, not to get paid
Money can't save your soul, don't think I can
I look to God and I feel like a little man[/b].
