Disciple -- 'I Just Know'
Tip of the cowboy hat to Ronholio for turnin' me on to this tune.
Ronholio also provided the lyrics, knowin' that my mostly countryfied ears might not be able to understand 'em just by listening:
(Authors provide biblical references)
I just know Jesus is the way
I just know Jesus is the truth
I just know Jesus is the life
I know that Jesus is my God (John 14:6)
what makes you different from one another
why do you argue about who you follow
there is no man that you belong to
there's only one God that can claim you (1 Corinthians 3:5-7)
I don't care if you don't speak in tongues (1 Corinthians 13:1)
I don't care if you're into submersion (Matthew 3:16)
what does it matter if wear a liturgical robe or prophesy
and say God said so (1 John 4:1)
I just know Jesus is the way
I just know Jesus is the truth
I just know Jesus is the life
I know that Jesus is my God (John 14:6)
do you serve your name or do you serve mankind
would you feel the same if they took down your sign
could you sit next to me if I was Baptist or Presbyterian
or do I need to be a charismatic or Episcopalian (Acts 2:17)
I don't care if you drink grape juice or if it's wine (Matthew 26:27- 29)
and I don't care if you get out of church on time
what does it matter if you praise God with music in your church (Psalm 150)
or you burn your dead or bury them six feet in the dirt
I don't care if you clap your hands (Psalm 47:1)
I don't care if you get out in the aisle and dance (Psalm 149:3)
what's it matter if someone lets out a hallelujah shout (Psalm 100:1)
have we forgotten what praising Yahweh is all about
Not my usual style, but I like it. Not about theology. Not about doctrine. Not about an issue. It's about Jesus. Awesome.
And hey, my inner child is a mullet-headed longhair.

I appreciate the mention of the song and agree with ya 100 percent about the tribal thang...
To me what makes this song great is the fact that not only does the song speak to me on a lyrical/spiritual level,
the tribal feel (heavy hard fast simple rhythms) makes my heart beat faster.... which makes the spiritual/physical combination
all in all a christian rockers delight.
and Thanks again ER for the open-minded examination of something outside of your comfort zone.....
That is one of your more noble qualities.
Again thanks

Ha ha. I am floored that Drlobojo hasn't called me on my first-blush claim that there is no doctrine or theology in this song! :-)
The chorus itself is statement of fundamental -- as opposed to fundamentalist -- doctrine.
The first verse includes a theological statement: "there is no man that you belong to
there's only one God that can claim you ..." Again, a fundamental -- as opposed to fundamentalist -- idea.
The rst of it just tatstes and preferences that people argue about.

So, do you sing the references, too? As I read it, I thought that'd be fun, doing some fast singing...LOL
