Jon Foreman: Instead Of A Show

Monday, June 9th, 2008

UPDATE: Head over here for a chance to win a copy of Jon Foreman’s Summer EP.
(Mud’s giveaway is over)

Mudpuppy mentioned this song today on Twitter and then sent me the video.  It’s a new song from Jon Foreman’s Summer EP.  The lyrics are based on a passage from Isaiah 1:11-17.  Check out the video and lyrics below and then discuss.

I hate all your show and pretense
The hypocrisy of your praise
The hypocrisy of your festivals
I hate all your show
Away with your noisy worship
Away with your noisy hymns
I stomp on my ears when you’re singing ‘em
I hate all your show

Instead let there be a flood of justice
An endless procession of righteous living, living
Instead let there be a flood of justice
Instead of a show

Your eyes are closed when you’re praying
You sing right along with the band
You shine up your shoes for services
There’s blood on your hands
You turned your back on the homeless
And the ones that don’t fit in your plan
Quit playing religion games
There’s blood on your hands

Instead let there be a flood of justice
An endless procession of righteous living, living
Instead let there be a flood of justice
Instead of a show
I hate all your show

Let’s argue this out
If your sins are blood red
Let’s argue this out
You’ll be one of the clouds
Let’s argue this out
Quit fooling around
Give love to the ones who can’t love at all
Give hope to the ones who got no hope at all
Stand up for the ones who can’t stand at all, all
I hate all your show
I hate all your show
I hate all your show
I hate all your show

Instead let there be a flood of justice
An endless procession of righteous living, living
Instead let there be a flood of justice
Instead of a show
I hate all your show

Top Posts for February 2008

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Here’s the top posts for the month of February.  The chords for In Christ Alone remain popular - many people arrive at the blog searching for these.  From The Inside Out is the most popular video on my YouTube channel.  It’s nice to see my new Bible Journey posts in the top 20.

I added a couple of new links to the blogroll tonight.  Worship-Arts-Ministry by David Linder, and Ethos… a Cultural Watercooler by Randy Elrod.  I kicked myself for not having Randy linked before now as I’ve been subscribed to his feed for ages.

I really would have loved to go to RE:CREATE this year.  I’ll be aiming to attend next year for sure.

I would like to attend some worship conferences this year. If you know of any worthwhile conferences that would be a drive or short flight from the North Carolina area, let me know…
