Singing Scripture Number 3 'Be merciful to me oh God'
"Some of the most wonderful music comes out of the darkest pain. My friend Ishmael's new album, 'Ishmael's Songs and Hymn' is amazing - songs of hope that have been hammered out in the furnace of tears and 'God, I won't let you go' faith. I was moved to tears as I listened. Buy it and be encouraged and blessed." Jeff Lucas

I love this song, great lyrics. If you listen carefully you will notice something very strange about the drumming. I made Dave the drummer double track it. In otherwords he had to drum through the track once, then carefully keeping the same beat drum over the top of it again...yep, in those days there were no electronic gimmicks...he's a good drummer !

Due to my ministry, I spend a lot of time with boys and girls, and usually when I see them they tend to be on their best behaviour. I also am a Dad, and I remember when my children were small and how much they would fight and argue to try and get their own way. As an Christian adult, I still sometimes argue with Father God stupidly thinking that I know best. If I want to do something, surely if Father really loves me He should let me do it. I need to grow up. For the best life possible, I need to learn to want to do what God wants me to do, and forget about what I want to do.
