Lone Voice

Ever feel like you had a very important message you needed to share with people but when you tried it felt like it fells on deaf ears or it echoed with no response?


Lone voice was birth out of that sentiment. There is a Spanish saying:


"el que no coje consejo no llega a viejo" loosely translated it means "he who does not heed advice will not see old age".


The Bible is full of good advice. As a matter of fact the Bible contains the writings of the wisest man that ever live, Solomon. In his wisdom he came to one conclusion, everything in meaningless except the relationship you have with your creator.


This is this message that needs to be conveyed that needs to be said; actually it needs to be shouted in the streets. It is a message of life and death, but many people dismiss it because they feel they know it all or know a better, faster or easier way.

"They trade the simple truth for a complicated lie// and await for the results peering to the sky// cause they want to see it open and pour down on them riches they think that they deserve cause the law they preserved"

Many need to understand that knowledge comes when we fear God. The simple truth of salvation is just accepting it. There is no amount of work, sacrifice or will power that can lead you to heaven. The work is done already; it is just a matter of accepting the gift. We all have fallen short of the glory of God, but the gift of salvation is for everyone. All we have to do is believe and receive it.


On the other side of the coin we need to be careful with who we are allowing to teach us and guide us because some might use it as part of an agenda.


Sad as this sounds it is the truth. Some take this gift and the message that comes with the gift and use it for their own agenda. Some disagree with this gift and will do what they can to disprove it. Ultimately the truth is found in the Word of God, the Bible. I urge all to not just take someone’s word for fact. Look it up in the Bible to add meaning, context and veracity to the word.

"Unlike some fools in the corner who have hate on their heart// plant seeds of discontent and bear fruit of resentment// their walk is always straight like they got a self agenda//resemble politicians in the road with assistants"

So let's not turn a deaf ear to the advice found in the good book. Let's not fall for problems and situations that could have been avoided if we would have just heeded to the wisdom found in the Bible. Let not the Words of God become a distant echo in our lives. Let them penetrate deep into your soul, let them take root in your heart and become part of who you are. Like King David said: I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 1189:11

So in light of the fact that I just released my new album online and to keep my promise of bloging more often I have decided to do a blog entry for each track of the album expanding on it biblically and personally.

So with that let me start with Let it go featuring Kat.

When thinking about this track and the theme behind it, a couple of verses come to mind. Verses having to do with trusting in God and letting go of the worries (John 14:1), or letting go of our load and picking His up since His is always lighter(Matthew 11:29). Or like the apostle Paul wrote, letting go of the past and pressing on towards the goal(Philippians 3:13). Many of us have some things that we need to work through or are working through, things that we need to let go so that we can experience what God has for us.

I know I personally deal with having to let go of my pride. At times I catch myself thinking that I know more or that I sin less than others, and I know that this is not true. That is my struggle, an internal one to stay humble and know that my self worth is found in God's mercy and not in my actions or accomplishments. I know that we all have fallen short of the glory of God and need the grace and mercy that we only find in Jesus to be able to get to God.

Some of us need to let go of the past to be able to see what God has for us in our near future. Letting go of hurt and pain from our past will bring peace and joy. Releasing and forgiving those whom might of hurt us in the past brings reconciliation and stability in our present relationships.

Let go of all the anger the bitterness the hate and distrust// the grilling everyone the look of disgust// it aint a good look we don't want non of that// yet we like to beef it up but we don't like all the fat.

We need to let go of all the things that where part of our lives before accepting Jesus and live our lives like we have been created anew. The old has gone the new has come.

Some times we need to let go of our own preferences and biases. This too can hinder us from having a deeper relationship with God and with each other. Do not look at the speck in your brothers eye but neglect the plank in yours. Focusing on the negative, on the bad things on what can go wrong rather than the positive things, can rob us of a deep personal relationship with each other.

We need to just stop// we need to let him in// and move us from within// to rely in Him// and sacrifice every aspect in order to our grow// our flesh our desires just let it go
