I Need a New Law????

Now, I may be behind the curve on this one but when I used to listen to "Christian Music" I ran across a band called Caedmon's call. In fact, this band played an instrumental role (no pun intended) in changing and expanding my faith with their deep lyrics and compelling questions. One of the band members, Derek Webb, has struck out on his own and continues to put out music that challenges the way I think about my faith. You can check out his music and listen to a few songs here. One song in particular seems to tie into the purpose and message of this site, enjoy.

A New Law

(vs. 1)
don’t teach me about politics and government
just tell me who to vote for

don’t teach me about truth and beauty
just label my music

don’t teach me how to live like a free man
just give me a new law

(pre-chorus)
i don’t wanna know if the answers aren’t easy
so just bring it down from the mountain to me

(chorus)
i want a new law
i want a new law
gimme that new law

(vs. 2)
don’t teach me about moderation and liberty
i prefer a shot of grape juice

don’t teach me about loving my enemies

don’t teach me how to listen to the Spirit
just give me a new law

(pre-chorus/chorus)

(bridge)
what’s the use in trading a law you can never keep
for one you can that cannot get you anything
do not be afraid
do not be afraid
do not be afraid
