Jonathan Edwards' infamous sermon of the "Great Awakening" in 1741 New England. While I borrowed his title, the song takes a twist: I state "Lord, I know I'm one." The theme is that God's people praise Him with their lips, but their hearts are far from Him. No different than when our Redeemer repeated those words of Isaiah two thousand years ago. As it says in Hebrews 8:8-10, speaking of the old covenant, "For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the House of Judah . . I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts . ." This is what the New Covenant is - His Laws written in our hearts. But most of the seminaries have taught the preachers that "we're not under that ‘old law' anymore, only the Jews are." In saying this, they nullify God's Law and the New Covenant simultaneously. I have come to proclaim the New Covenant for what it is: teaching God's commandments. As our Redeemer said, "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of the least of these commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:18-19). Even with this truth, men still find a way to nullify His commandments. The sheep blindly follow, or do they? He said, "My sheep know my voice and I know them and they follow me." And, "a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers." (John 10:27 and 5) Those teaching that God's commandments were "nailed to the cross" are ‘strangers.' Those that listen to them and never question what they're hearing don't really believe what Jesus said about the "least" and "Greatest" commandments. "But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you." John 10:26.So, "hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments." (I John 2:3) That is the "sheep test." In a final word, somehow we think now that "faith" has come, we are not obligated to seek out God's Law and teach it to our children. But as Paul said, "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." (Romans 3:31) This is what my ministry is all about: educating God's people that they have been deceived.
Prophesying with instruments, in modern piano-band style (a la Billy Joel, Elton John, Bruce Hornsby, Keith Green). (See I Chronicles 25:1-3). And allow me to quote a few others:
"I do not know if Jonathan's superb talent has brought him before great men yet; but if not, then it is our guess that the release of this collection of ten songs will be that entree . . His gifts will make room for him to witness God's Law to them."

"Like late period Keith Green, the lyrics remind believers of the value of the Law in the New Covenant, the righteous judgments of a holy God, and the grace by which we stand."

SINNERS IN THE HANDS OF AN ANGRY GOD

Hebrews 10: 26-31
Psalms 1 and 119
The giving of the Law was to correct your ways
To set apart a people who would
demonstrate My Holiness to all
Because you are the seed of My friend Abraham
I will help you do My Will
if you will only answer when I call -
I'll be the wind behind your sail
and push you with a Holy Gale
And on your journey, you'll have ample time
To take the Law into your own hands
And read it into the night
Take the Law into your own hands
And hold on to it tight
See the words that have been written there
that sin will keep us apart
And I will write those precious words
into your minds and in your hearts
Don't you dare believe the Law has passed away
or that you can't obey it all
for the schoolmaster disciplines my sons
In spite of what they say the Law is good for you
just get into the boat - where the
passengers await for her to run
I'll be the wind behind your sail
and push you with a Holy Gale
And on your journey, you'll have ample time
Like dawn on the horizon you will see your destination
In the pages of my WORD it shall be clear
The whole earth is waiting for your manifestation
here's my compass, man the helm and steer

Joel 2:32 and Isaiah 59:20
See the mistakes you have made on the way,
Father can change them
And all the wounds you sustained here today
Father can heal them
The darkness of a deep despair filled ocean can
overwhelm the strongest of souls...as the tide rolls
See all the Mountains there in your path
Father can move them
And all the sins that have kindled His Wrath
He can forgive them
Troubles may rise like a swelling river
Water rushing in on all sides, but on top you'll ride...
When you call upon the Name of Yahweh, you'll be saved
Call upon His Holy Name in the Last Days
Upon the Name of Yahweh, you'll be saved
Father will hear your cry and answer you from On High
When you call upon the Name of Yahweh, you'll be saved
See all the enemies there in your way
He will consume them
Making the darkness to shine like the day
He will remove them
Troubles may rise in the Holy Battle, but
Victory will be on your side, on its wings you'll ride..
Yah saves, the key word here is: Yahshua...
Yah saves those who call on His Name to do it
Seek Him out and you will find He'll change your heart
and clean out your mind - Yahshua
Turnaround your life to Him, even when you're out on a limb (and
about to saw it off)
Yah saves, He'll save you now, I'm going to tell you again the
way how
When you call upon the Name of
Yahweh....You'll be saved (X's 2)
When you call upon His Name
He will deliver you from all your sins
When you call upon his Name
He will deliver you from the trouble that you got yourself in
Call upon His Holy Name
Call upon the Name of Yahweh..............
Yahweh, Yahweh, Oh Yahweh

Jeremiah 6: 14; Ezekiel 34: 1-10
Make a bandage, get the oil,
Pour some water and bring a clean rag,
But the brother is lying here with a broken back
And the bones are showing through,
But all you know to do is
Dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious,
as though it were not serious...
You dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious,
as though it were not serious...
Reach the dial, tune it in,
Christian radio plays your favorite songs again,
With a family next door suffering from a lack of food
All you want to hear right
Is a song to change your mood and
How dare I come in here like a pompous young man
How dare I make remarks as if I knew the master plan
Where's my authority, my pastor go between
I guess I'll have to quote him now,
Jeremiah six fourteen!
You dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious,
as though it were not serious...not serious
get serious about my flock

Leviticus 25:8-34; II Chronicles 7:12-14
Our Fathers' God to Thee, Author of Liberty, to Thee we sing
Long may our land be bright with Freedom's Holy Light
Protect us by thy might, Great God our KING, Let Freedom Ring,
Let it ring once again
Though we have truly strayed, let not Your Glory fade in murmuring
Purge us till we repent, teach us obedience,
Free us from sin's imprisonment Great God our KING, Let Freedom Ring
Let it ring once again
Let Freedom Ring, Let Freedom Ring
Great Yahweh Our KING, Let Freedom Ring, let it ring once again
My Country tis of thee, sweet Land of Liberty, of thee I sing
Land where my Fathers died, land of thy Pilgrims' pride
From every mountainside, Let Freedom Ring
Great God our King, Let Freedom Ring
Let it ring once again

Psalms 40, 116 and 142
I love Yahweh, He heard my cry,
He rescued me in my darkest hour
I love Yahweh, He heard my cry,
When I had lost all earthly power
He lifted me from the depths of the ocean
Set my feet on solid ground
Restored my soul from downward motion
and the Hope that seemed lost now is found
I love Yahweh......I love Yahweh.......I love Yahweh
The judgment came, the gavel fell
The righteous waned and I was branded
They banished me, the bars came down
The wicked reigned and I was stranded
But Yahweh turned and heard my voice
as it grew weak and cracked and broken
Yahweh looked and read my mind
When all my thoughts could not be spoken
He lifted me from the depths of the ocean
Set my feet on solid ground
Restored my soul from downward motion
and the Hope that seemed lost now is found
His servant is on the rebound...
I love Yahweh......I love Yahweh.........I love Yahweh
I love Yahweh, He heard my cry,
He rescued me in my darkest hour........
