And so there I was…
In between Church Street and Commerce Street.
Holding Jeff’s cross in my right hand.

Lyrics:
Devil’s Playlist
A, G, F
Read between the lines to see the lies
Hear the desperation that the melodies disguise
Find the catch that lurks in catchy tunes
What is right or wrong that in the darkness you can choose?
F, G, A
Another word that you ignore
That hides the wickedness behind the fancy chords
It finds the way into your heart, into your soul
Until you are under control
F, G, A
Devil’s playlist
Is it what you want?
Stealing innocence with every song
Sold their soul for a click and a play
Music made just to lead you astray…
A, G, F
There are many things but the heart is hollow
The blind that lead and the blind that follow
What you sign is a digital deal
F, G, A…
Forgetting yourself
Forgetting what’s real
F, G, A
Devil’s playlist
Isn’t what you want
Save the innocence with beautiful psalms
Free your soul in the Light of the Lord
Find salvation, with every chord
Find salvation, with every chord
The drive to the conference was quiet.
I no longer cared about the speakers.
I no longer cared about the crowd.
The crowd had chosen its leaders.
And the leaders had taken upon themselves a role that did not belong to them.
Could I listen to those who come in the name of Jesus for a price?
I no longer could.
