This song was ‘When the Master knocks’ and took a whole other direction. John Cox sang the original start and left us speechless in the studio. I asked him if he would finish the lyrics when I finished the music and he flipped a silver dollar and said ‘It’ll cost you’. Truthfully if he sang the entire album, it would be stunning. He’s got my second favorite song verse of all time, ‘I hope you lose the world and gain your soul’, and then also my third, ‘Let’s have tea and talk about God’. This song ‘Prelude will be an intro to Ride Every Ride when I join them together. The last verse was hard for me. I had the words, ‘We know He only loves His children, and His children do not need a how and why’. But three points and a poem sometimes will not tell the right story. We are not His children until we are. Sure, we are chosen from the foundation of the world, but He loved us while we were not His children, and to become a child of God, He has to raise us from the dead. If I could have pulled off the idea that He only loves His elect, I would have been happier. So reluctantly, and for the sake of the truth, I used the words, ‘We know that billions die without Him, and who is wise enough to give us a how or why’. This kinda shows you why predestination songs just don’t get written and why it took me four years to re-write free will songs already written and recorded. I am sure this album is the first compilation of predestination songs.

I chose this for the title song because it sets right in the middle of the reason for the album; to preach predestination from the viewpoint of an elect without regard to the allowance of free will belief. Not that we are supposed to be mean to people, but that we know predestination preaching is worth nothing if it doesn’t cut through free will preaching. If not, it will just be assumed to be free will preaching and how could that represent the gospel that we enjoy?? It’s the only song that didn’t get a lead break. I’ll do a better job on the speech and fade in the new mixdown.
