God works in the most mysterious ways. The very first song that David Martin Scales and don wrote together was this one, which served six years later as a fitting epitaph for David's life, which was taken during the 9-11-01 terrorist attack on the Pentagon: |

The Hard Stuff! Songs can address even the most difficult subjects. ANGER JUNKIE BLUES Your face turns red, you bare your teeth The rafters shake and shiver There's hurt behind the words you speak But that ain't nothin' new Lookin' for the lightnin' that'll zap your brain Hurricane of power rushin' through your veins Givin' up control because you can't explain You've lost all hope to choose Your anger junkie blues Your eyes burn red, your mind won't click You belch a stagnant river And if your disposition switches That's a tell-tale clue Runnin' out of energy to pitch a fit Gotta find a way to cop another hit No one better try to cut you off from it You've lost all will to lose Your anger junkie blues When rage blazes high It's true that you can fly But the crash comes so fast You wanna die Your blood drips red, you curse at Jesus Salvation undelivered You're good as dead but don't believe us Blown without a fuse Screamin' for some medicine to ease the pain Tidal wave of cravin' rippin' through your brain Need a hit of hate before you go insane There's nothin' you can do Lost without a clue This whole world's just like you Drunk without no booze On anger junkie blues Anger junkie blues Anger junkie blues copyright 1999, don bridges Lyrics and music by don bridges All rights reserved |

Spiritual Sustenance Sometimes the answer is only a song away. THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME There were times i felt so lonely when i thought of God as only someone who had shown His face in ancient days And my prayers were all half-hearted 'cause the knowledge He'd imparted seemed as distant as mirages in the haze In my ordinary dealings i had trouble with my feelings it seemed nothing i had studied could explain I would lie awake obsessing but despite my frantic guessing all my thinking couldn't take away the pain Then the Holy Spirit came and changed my life Gave me strength to rise above the daily strife Yes the Holy Spirit came and filled my heart Put in me a place of peace that will not part When the Spirit came and warmed me i sensed that He had transformed me from the selfish fearful loser i had been And where i once felt a coldness very soon i knew a boldness as the Holy Spirit's power swelled within For the Holy Spirit came and changed my life Gave me strength to rise above the daily strife Yes the Holy Spirit came and filled my heart Put in me a place of peace that will not part When i'm walkin' in the Spirit if the Lord speaks i will hear it for at last i recognize my Shepherd's voice Since the Holy Spirit's present His yoke feels so light and pleasant and i'm grateful that He's given me the choice With this access to the Father i no longer need to bother with those worries and concerns of what will be Now my life is filled with caring for my purpose is in sharing how the Holy Spirit's truth has set me free For the Holy Spirit came and changed my life Gave me strength to rise above the daily strife Yes the Holy Spirit came and filled my heart Put in me a place of peace that will not part copyright 1994, don bridges Lyrics and music by don bridges All rights reserved |

Let's Laugh! The best medicine. MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING BLUES I was sittin' at the bus stop fishin' for some pocket change When i came across a glossy ad with a whole lot of famous names They'd found financial freedom workin' in their leisure time To find out how to check it out well it wouldn't cost a dime I pictured my pile of bills back home and figured it couldn't hurt I ripped the ad right off the page and stuck it in my shirt Say hey multi-level marketing blues Paydays are comin' to my wallet real soon Before i make big money i got to wear the shoes I got the fundamental multi-level marketing blues I punched that toll-free number and it said they'd call me back That afternoon in my living room sat a man from the inside track He drove me to a meeting where they cheered and clapped their hands They told me their excitement was all part of the business plan The way for me to join the fun well it wasn't very hard They'd gladly take my cash or check, my debit or credit card Say hey multi-level marketing blues Paydays are comin' to my wallet real soon Before i make big money i got to pay my dues I got the fundamental multi-level marketing blues I purchased all the sales aids and i polished up my pitch Wrote down a thousand contact names -- i'm gonna be so rich! But now my master bedroom, my trunk and my back seat, my closets and my halls are filled with junk nobody needs! Say hey multi-level marketing blues Paydays are comin' to my wallet real soon Before i make big money i got to learn to lose I got the fundamental multi-level marketing blues Now i've lost my friends and family, my health has hit the skids My wife lives at her mother's house, i'm laughed at by my kids My bank account is empty and my sponsor's disappeared I don't think i'm exaggerating to say it's a little weird But just around the corner is the cure for my distress A scientific system sure to guarantee success! Say hey multi-level marketing blues Paydays are comin' to my wallet real soon Before i make big money i got to change my views I got the fundamental transcendental chronic inter-continental more than mental so disheveled Evil schemin' from the devil Multi-level marketing blues copyright 2000, don bridges Lyrics and music by don bridges All rights reserved You are Visitor Number:    |
