The Song of the Year

As I was perusing through Family Christian Store on Friday, I came across a CD by a band that I thought disbanded but apparently not. In case you do not know who I am talking about, check out their website @ http://www.milkmoneypromotions.com/asu/ The band is called All Star United. You could say they are under the Alternative Christian rock genre. Anyway have you listened to a CD and just played one song over and over because it was catchy or just liked how it sounded? Well thats what happened to me where here are the lyrics to the song: The song is called "The Song of the Year"

Word to the GMA I'm a big up trippin
G gave me a song tonight
He's my dog, it's like I be Roger's
G be's my Hammerstein

I've got a song from above
Give it up for Jesus
Let's see if God gets a Dove
And shows up to accept

This is the song of the year
Let the message be clear
I don't need you to adore me
Cause it's all about God's glory
Something's gone really wrong
If we're chasing the song of the year

Testimony, testimony
Testimony testimony
I'll never be the same
Holy holy worthy worthy
something something
something something
That rhymes with Jesus name

That oughta do
Guess I'm through
Time to canonize
I like to write a movies too
About Christian superheroes
who join forces to ward off
the anti-christ!

It's the song of the year
But God's still unimpressed
With our radio success

This is the song of the year
Let the message be clear
I don't need you to adore me
Cause it's all about God's glory
Angel choirs sing along
If it's really the song of the year

I found it rather humorous but at the same time laughing because how often in a secular world or pop culture people love bands and their players where "its all about me" kind of attitude how many grammy's I can win. What I like was that Ian Eskelin the lead vocalist and writer of this song said "I don't need you to adore me, cause it's all about God's glory". May that be a message be of me, that the only good in me, and the reason I am on earth is to reflect and give God glory.
