This is the first time I have ever posted a song with no BIAB tracks and it will probably be the last, but I gather some people are interested in this type of music and it might be just as fitting for today as the day my brother DJ Coles and I wrote it with our other brothers Ross Wright and Dan Shepherd a few days after 9/11.
DJ is the guy in the black jacket and it might be obvious which one is me, in the Beatles jacket.
There has been some discussion as to how do you do Praise and Worship/Gospel. This is how. Quick story. We wrote this song, and DJ took it to Nashville, walked into the offices of the largest Christian Publisher and asked to see Barry Weeks. They said no one got in without an appt and asked him to go away.
Then Mr. Weeks walked out of a studio door and asked him what he wanted. DJ started singing this song. 10 Minutes later he was sitting in a room with Mr. Weeks doing a rough demo. This is the final cut.
Every time I hear DJ sing these lines, I get goosebumps. Every time. "Will you sing with me? Will our love be free? Will we finally break these chains?"
Why do they call them goosebumps? And who are they? Outstanding in every way, David. It's the kind of magical song that makes you stand up. I am. Thanks you! Much respect, brother.
Beautiful song David, one to be proud of. Sure glad you posted it, and man, what writing, "Can I say a prayer for America will that finally be okay? Will you sing with me will our love be free? will we finally break these chains?"

Every day I read and see what is going on in your country on the 'democratic' front. And I'm getting more concerned.
"Can I say a prayer for America will that finally be okay?"
I would answer that guestion with a big 'NO'
But let me concentrate on the song itself: The singer has a very good voice and performed impressing! The melody is very nice and played by a good band, although it has nothing from an original David Snyder song ;-)
David...OMG!! and I don't mean that as a meaningless exclamation...I mean Oh my God!...this moves me on so many levels....the music is breathtaking, the melody is captivating and the message is motivating...and yes this is how you do Praise and Worship/Gospel...you do it from a heart of worship, with the Spirit leading and a marriage of great lyrics and a memorable melody...as Floyd said this should be on Christian radio right now (send this to K-Love right now)...excellent David,,,excellent!
