Beschreibung
9th track from "This Ain't Hollywood" (1980). If you like your Yacht Rock smooth but still a little gritty, guitar-driven, and with a more blues-style Michael McDonald vocal—and especially if you like it touching on spiritual things—early D&K may just be your band. Just listen to this horn-peppered, rockin' pop tune built on a hooky guitar riff!
Oh, and listen to the lyrics while you're at it.
People say things like, "I'm quite sure the almighty God of the universe doesn't really care about what I think or say or do. After all, he's got WAAAY more important things to do." But no, not really. You see, the universe runs just fine (even though it's in a fallen state). It does exactly what it's told. But humans have free will. Thus the important thing—the most interesting thing—is what YOU are thinking and doing right now! The tiniest decision you make to try harder, to give more, to love better is God's concern and delight. Humans are the apple of His eye. He paid the ultimate, most expensive, most exorbitant price to redeem us. And He wants to put His heart in us—to change us from the inside out.
It's both an instantaneous event (accepting Jesus as your Savior) AND a daily process (renewing your mind). The latter part is a moment by moment process that happens over and over...
And over!

"...I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing...What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!"
~the Apostle Paul
