We  Are  The  Righteousness  Of  God

Picture
This song was written in my normal fashion, composing the music and the lyrics at the same time. It was composed on piano, but when we cut the track we featured guitars.

The lyric was a combination of the teachings of two major influences in my life at that time. Some of the ideas came from Kenneth Copeland's teaching on the righteousness of God.  Other parts of the lyric came from the influence of E.W. Kenyon’s books. 

I had been somewhat beaten down through all the trials in my life, resulting in the attitude that I was just a dishrag and a failure in my spiritual life.  These teachings give me a fresh perspective. Instead of seeing myself as a sinner, I can see myself as the righteousness of God because of what Jesus did on the cross. 

As the song says, it doesn't mean that I won't sin and I won't have failure in my life, but it gives me a different and more positive way to view myself, again because of what Jesus did for me on the cross.

Production note: I was trying to get a "Pretenders" feel on this track.  Because of some preconceived notions that I had about the arrangement, I kind of blew the opportunity to really make it sound like that.  Consequently, is not one of my favorite musical tracks on the album.
