One of the True Pioneers of the
Christian Rock Genre,
PETRA!
Most of You Will Want to Hear
God Gave Rock And Roll To You...
Which, Technically,
Should Have a Roman Numeral I,
Here...
See, The Song Was Originally Written by
One of The Greatest Rock Songwriters EVER:
Russ Ballard!
He Wrote It in '71, and Recorded It in '73
When He was with the Band Argent!
(Hold Your Head Up!)
Most of You Are Probably More Familiar
With KISS' Version
( With a Roman Numeral II...)
The Reason IS:
BOTH Petra and KISS Altered the Original Lyrics...
The Song Melody and Structure Is The Same...
And Both Left Out the Lyric About
Cliff Richard!?!
Anyway, IF You Wanna Try It...Fine!
IF Not, That's Fine as well...
The Choice Is Yours as Always!
Just Like Pascal Said...
Back in the 1600's...
If You Took Any MATH at All...
You've Seen THIS:
He Also Came Up With Pascal's Wager...
(NOT The Video Game!)
He Proposed We ALL Bet Our Life, and
Then Live Accordingly...
And, Find Out If We Win Or Lose...
At The END!
He WAS NOT Tryin' to
Prove The Existence of GOD!
But, Seems,
Even Pascal Himself,
was a Fence Sitter...
He Basically Said:
I Have Seen Some Things in This World
That Suggest a Creator,
But, Not Enough,
That Convinces Me One Exists.
Anyway, Again:
Listen IF You Like...
Yeah, People Look At Me and Then Are Surprised By Things I Say...
ReplyDelete(Yep. Even My Wife and Child, Who Know Me Best...)
I Heard One Person Sum It This Way:
Life IS Short.
Eternity IS NOT!
There Are Too Many Patterns in This World for Me to Say There Is No God!
Thanks for Your Very Thoughtful Response...
So MANY Folks Aren't Willin' to Say What's On Their Mind!
It's Much Appreciated, My Friend...
