Gordon Mote Chapel

so dr j has been saying for a while that he wants people at christian high to know that anything is possible do you all know that yet they say some of y'all are saying no well today gordon moat is going to share with you a little bit about how god makes all things possible and he's actually he's one of the best piano players i've ever heard he's incredible and he is actually blind i know some of y'all will be here like man that's man he's really good but you gotta keep in mind that god is using even something something like that to do incredible things so will y'all please give a warm christian high school welcome to gordon mode thank y'all so much all right if you're not awake this is going to wake you up but you got to help me [Music] that's pretty good all right a one two one [Music] that's good ah this is gonna be a fun group that is why i say all my joy [Music] [Music] all right rob come on [Music] how can you rock so hard this early in the morning it's good come [Music] gonna be on i'm gonna spend all of my time in prayer and when that comes in now we're all gonna [Music] in that all right just mean the drugs [Music] [Music] [Music] well i'm gonna go far beyond [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank y'all thank you all so much i am so glad to be here thank you for uh having me appreciate dr jeremiah and the staff here at shadow mountain for hosting us this weekend and i met a couple of you yesterday and it's been a fun weekend we'll fly back to nashville and get home about midnight tonight because the denver airport is snowed in so we're going to have to go through phoenix so when you're complaining about doing homework just picture me on an airplane full of people wearing masks crowded and don't complain so good to be with you um i'm gonna just tell you my story and then i'm gonna leave some time at the end of this thing for some questions and answers um i hope i have all the answers um i've always thought it'd be fun to start with the answers first but that never works um i thought that was funnier than y'all did um so anyway i'm i'm gonna start kind of at the very beginning because that's a good place to start my musical journey began when i was just three years old and i know that sounds crazy but god works in crazy ways sometimes and you know we read in the bible about miracles but for whatever reason we have decided as a culture that god doesn't really do that anymore well i can tell you from personal experience that he absolutely does and i am living proof of that at three years old on thanksgiving day we were all at my grandmother's house having a family gathering and uh man we had a house full as we always do and all of a sudden [Music] they hear the piano and everybody wonders who it could be because nobody really plays in our family my mom played a little bit in church but not a whole lot but they knew it wasn't my mom because she had her hands in the sink with soap all over them washing dishes so um my mom was accounted for so everybody was wondering well man who could it be and as they all kind of followed the sound of the piano into the formal living room where the upright was they couldn't believe what they saw because what they saw was a little three-year-old boy sitting on the piano bench barely big enough to reach the keyboard that little three-year-old boy was me and i was playing the song that best explains the gospel jesus loves me this i know for the bible tells me so [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] do [Music] i'm so glad my mom had the presence of mine to snap some pictures of the very first time i played the piano and then the rest of a lot of those photos kind of tell you a little bit of the story about my childhood i started school just like you in kindergarten and i went through kindergarten first and second grade at the alabama school for the blind and that was awesome because i learned how to read and write braille and learned a lot of things that i would need to know but in the third grade i mainstreamed into the public school system now really what that means is they threw seven of us into public school and um we they hired a teacher that could read some braille and we were in class with kids who were quote unquote normal could see and do all the things and so i'm so grateful because we live in a sighted world and so grateful doesn't even begin to touch how i feel about being given that opportunity so in third grade we started mainstreaming into public school we were the first group in the united states to do that i'm from the state of alabama from a little town called gadsden it's kind of close to birmingham that's why when you see these pictures you see i'm a huge alabama crimson tide fan and i love sports you'll yeah we have one alabama fan that's good i was excited yesterday we're a two seed in the ncaa basketball tournament we haven't been the ncaa in a while and so i'm uh i hope all of you will do your brackets and i'm sure that yours will be better than mine i've had some good brackets over the years but there's always somebody that messes it up and then my wife will do it based on the color of the uniforms and she'll get more right than i do and it makes me mad um but i digress um so mainstreaming into public school was a real challenge because we didn't have a lot of our books in braille um we really didn't have any of them uh for a while we might have a different addition than you had or than the kids had the other kids had and sometimes our books might be on cassette now y'all don't even know what cassette tapes are but try finding page 287 on a cassette tape i dare you that's not easy um so um to say there were challenges i mean i could go in to spend a lot of time on that but needless to say um as grant said at the beginning all things are possible when you're trusting in jesus to give you strength because in our weakness he is strong and so my life is a testimony to that and i'm so grateful for all the people who helped me and but most of all i'm grateful that god always heard my prayer and anytime i needed help can you imagine someone can you imagine having your eyes closed and trying to learn algebra you know you imagine that i was horrible in math anyway i can do big numbers in my head but like i didn't understand geometry and algebra and that was not easy some of y'all are out there going man with my eyes open i'm still suck at that um but but um going through school was an interesting thing in the seventh grade i was the first student uh in the country to march in an all-sided marching band um i've always been into music and loved marching band concert band um did it all through high school was percussion captain for three years i was band captain for a year and i had two mentors that really made a difference in my life they were um they were uh can i grab this microphone and like actually like how about this either way i can see y'all but no i'm just kidding i don't want to be sitting down talking to y'all it's dumb um so um my two mentors through high school they were my band director and my choral director and they didn't just teach me about music they taught me about life and they taught me about even in a public school setting even even with that they taught me about trusting in christ because and they didn't like preach to me or they didn't like you know hit me over the head with the bible or anything they just lived their lives as an example and as a teenager i was really dialed in to all those people around me i wanted to be mr edmonson my co-director i wanted to be just like him thought i wanted to teach school because i was so enamored with his talent and one day he said gordo he said you don't want to teach school the kids will be doing all kinds of stuff that you won't be able to see they'll be writing stuff on the chalkboard and they'll be like playing tricks on you and you'll never see them and you'll want to just hit them all and then you'll be in trouble so you don't want to teach you want to get out there and play he said there are a lot of people who were meant to teach you're not one of them you were meant to go do it and so i really took that to heart and so after three years at jacksonville state university um i transferred to belmont in nashville tennessee belmont university that's where i met my wife and her name is kimberly and we just celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary and yeah yeah i go to all these recording sessions and my buddies are like dude you are not blind she's a knockout how in the world did you do that um and uh the only thing i can tell you is when we met i had a seeing eye dog and he was a beautiful yellow lab and i think i think he won the day and uh i think he was the reason but um you know what since i'm talking about kimberly let's let me sing you a song i want to put this back let me sing you a song that i wrote for kimberly and and then i'll continue on with my story i wrote this quite a few years ago and the reason i wrote it was because so many people would come up to me and say your wife is so gorgeous she has the most beautiful smile she's all this stuff they would tell me and they would always end the sentence with i wish you could see her and that's why i wrote this song everyone tells me how beautiful you are and what a lucky man i am and though they all can see the way you look at me [Music] they don't see it like i can if they could see you through my eyes they'd know where the real beauty lies deep inside your heart who you really are if they could see you through my eyes [Music] all i have to do is gently touch your face baby i can tell so i'll much see the way you look at me i know i'm the lucky one if they could see you through my eyes they'd know where the real beauty lies deep inside your heart who you really are if they could see you through my in the quiet of night when i hold you close i can feel how bright you shine [Music] if they could see you through my eyes deep inside your heart who you really are if they could see you through [Music] my if they could see you through [Music] my thank you [Music] all right so that's kimberly and met hurt belmont that's probably the coolest thing that happened to me when i was in college but two days after i graduated from college well let me go back just a little bit during finals my senior year senior semester man i was so ready to be done with college um i i didn't know what i was going to do but i knew it had to be better than physics of sound and that's the hardest class i i still don't know why i had to take it um but um i i didn't know what i was gonna do but i knew that it was it was gonna be good and i had just gotten married and um two two three days into finals i got a call from one of my teachers and she said have you ever heard of lee greenwood and i said well of course i love all his his music he's great well he's looking for a piano player and i think i can get you an audition well at that time lee was really really popular do you guys know the song god bless the usa yeah okay well that's lee he had a lot of big hits but that's the song he's probably knows most known for um he wanna he's a grammy winner he won the male vocalist of the year twice for the cma awards he's an incredibly talented guy and he still sings great still a good friend well a lot of stuff happened anyway make a long story short two days after graduating i found out that i got the gig that i was going to be hired as the new keyboard player for lee greenwood so i started traveling on the road i had never been anywhere you know i was just an old country boy that had never really traveled that much the first time i ever flew on a plane was to go get my seeing eye dog to new jersey and they all talked funny up there and uh couldn't understand what and they always made me talk talk some more for us um because they love my southern accent i guess but um they're the ones that had the accent i didn't um but uh anyway i'm traveling with lee and i learned so much about the music business and lee introduced me to so many people opened up a lot of doors for me and i started doing studio work uh first of all it was just demos and that turned into more demos it turned into independent projects i worked with a couple of other artists on the road tanya tucker tricia yearwood some cool some cool people right and finally kimberly and i decided it was time to start a family we had our first child in 1996. i came off the road when samantha was born samantha's now 24 and she just got married but um back in those days it was a real step of faith but i didn't want to be traveling all the time so i started playing on sessions full time and doing other things to supplement my income but it took three or four years for me to climb that ladder and then i got a phone call from alan jackson's producer the normal piano player for allen was sick and they needed to go in and record and then 911 happened and i remember being in the studio that day i don't remember who i was working with but i just remember praying lord i don't know how this could even happen or what this would even look like but i would love to be able to make a difference somehow i'd love to be able to contribute to the healing of our country and a couple weeks later we were in the studio with alan and he sits on his little stool and has his guitar and he says ah i won't play you all little song i don't know if it's any good or not but denise my wife told me i should play it for y'all see if y'all like it and then he played where were you when the world stopped turning that september day uh maybe you guys have heard that little song that really did a lot to heal our country and that was the very first number one country song i was ever a part of after that things really exploded uh i started people started calling me producers and i started playing on everything and it just so happened that a group called rascal flatts was just starting to hit and it also just hap so happened that they had a lot of piano intros to their songs and it just so happened that i got to play on a bunch of them uh [Music] god bless the broken road that led me straight to you you ever heard that little song that's a good little song isn't it they had a bunch of hits off that record and then they changed producers dan huff was the producer and sometimes some of these things that you hear on the radio are totally accidental um like people make a big deal about gordon he's the intro man he's the hook guy you know if he can come up with something that when you hear it you know what the song is well sometimes i'd like to think that i'm you know have a gift for that that god has given me that gift but sometimes it's totally accidental we were cutting a song called my wish for you i don't know if you've ever heard that some of you guys are maybe too young to remember that song but it's all over espn even now um but we were cutting that song and i was trying to come up with a part for the chorus it's you know my wish for you and so i was trying to come up with a little uh little keyboard thing on the chorus and the producer comes running up to him and he goes that's the intro and so that became a pretty iconic song for them um i could go through a lot of the stuff that we've done a lot of pop producers from l.a come to nashville to record i've recorded with guys like lionel richie and bob seger and leonard skinner and a bunch of pop acts got to record with lionel richie do you guys watch american idol some of you yeah so i got to record with him he's one of the nicest guys in the world got to record with do you watch the voice at all some of you blake shelton's one of my best buddies i've been on every record he's ever made i guess um and it's interesting how again sometimes things are accidental my ring finger on my right hand my son who is now 13 this happened two or three years ago he slammed it in the car door and broke it in five places well i just happened to be recording my own album tracks for my own album that day and then in the next couple of days i was supposed to be recording with dan and shay um i was supposed to be a bunch of stuff and that dan and shea record that we did i had only two fingers i had this finger and a splint and this finger was kind of attached to it so i could only use these two fingers and with those two fingers we recorded a little song called uh kind of went like this you say you'll be done at five the smell of your perfume y'all heard that little song called speechless that's a cool song right they're awesome with those two fingers i had to play this intro and i didn't know how it was going to do it but it's a thing they did with kelly clarkson now see i'm using the finger i don't know if you can get a shot at this but i had to do it like this [Music] because i couldn't use those fingers it was really crazy and i was a nervous wreck because i didn't think i could do it um i got a text from them last night did they win a grammy or something last night because they text me a big thank you with lots of smiley faces i don't know i wasn't watching the grammys i was watching the brackets basketball i don't have a clue but uh anyway i've been really fortunate to do some crazy stuff i've worked with just about everybody if you listen to the radio pop country whatever i've worked with just about everybody in the music industry and people say well how do you learn the songs you can't see how do you read the music well i can hear a song one time and play it back to you that's not normal that's a god-given gift so you say you're blind how can you do that that's not possible that's what all of nashville said too but god can make a way where there seems to be no way and so i don't take any of the credit for it i give all the credit to the good lord because he is the giver of all good and perfect gifts amen yeah that's good yeah i want to tell you about my three kids real quick and i'm going to take some questions so if you've got any questions you can ask me anything nothing is off limits and we're going to have a roving microphone to go all over and get your questions i want to tell you about my three kids i told you about samantha she's 24. parker is 21 he is a junior in college at samford university in birmingham he's the one that keeps me humble we were here for the grammys i had an album that was nominated for a grammy a couple years ago uh i've actually was nominated for two grammys as an artist and two as a producer and uh being at the grammys is fun especially when you get to take your family and that was the first time they'd ever had an in-n-out burger and i think that was their fun one of their uh highlights of their trip um they enjoyed it wasn't a big deal for them to meet all these artists because they see them all the time because i work with them and so it's and everybody's so nice to the kids but um anyway parker's the one that keeps me humble um a few months ago the academy of country music award awards came out and i was excited to hear that i had won piano player of the year um this year and so uh thanks but i had no i didn't know it like parker was the one that texted me and this is how the text went i thought it was gonna i thought it was real sweet at first he goes dad you won't believe it you're the acm piano player of the year and i was like really i didn't even know that came out today because i never remember and he goes dad it says you've been nominated 19 times i was like wow that's amazing and i think he's been really sweet and he goes dad how many times have you actually won to which i answered well this would be my third time to which he replied dad that's a horrible percentage so yeah so that's my son parker um ashton is 13 and he's a seventh grader and he's a football player parker was a football player and a baseball player that's kind of how i got roped into announcing for the baseball team and uh now the football team you say how can you announce well i have spotters that tell me what's going on and then i call it on the pa and we call it as fast if not faster than a sighted guy and people love that we have a lot of fun with the calls in the championship game we had a kid called reed williford who intercepted a pass that won the game for us and i don't really think these things through but when he intercepted the pass i said intercepted by reed williford read it and weep touchdown cpa so we have a lot of fun with that um we try to be entertaining and all that fun stuff so i've told you about the kids i've tried in a really quick manner to tell you kind of my story again i never want to take credit for any of it i give god all the credit all the glory because he is so good to us and whatever your dreams are uh i want to say one more thing before we take questions you know i love what grant said at the top when he prayed he said if there's anything holding you back from accomplishing god's will for your life that god would help you get past that and he will there's so many things that we could use as an excuse not to do what god has called us to do mine's pretty obvious i could say well i'm blind i can't do that but maybe yours is not so obvious but we all have a gift we all have a calling we have all been created in god's image there are no mistakes there are no mistakes and we've all been hit put here for a purpose and nobody can do what you can do nobody you may say well i'm not sure what my gift is you have one i promise you you have a gift that is so amazing and only you have it so i just encourage you guys whatever you feel like is holding you back whatever is kind of makes you kind of scared whatever inhibits you in some way maybe you don't have the confidence you should have i just encourage you to pray that god will help you with that because he will and he will make a way where there seems to be no way grant do we have anybody that wants to ask me a question if y'all want to ask gordon a question you can just go ahead and throw your hand up and we're going to get a mic to you anybody want to ask a question oh good we got some time for see somebody's hand go up just everybody point to them and all right here we go this is going to be good you can um when trying to make it in the music industry what's a good way to start what's a good way to start is that what you said sweetheart that's what she said okay uh byron if i could hear more of that up here it'd be awesome um i guess i'm blind and deaf i don't know um jeez um what's a good way to start well i tell you what i had a lot of god was really watching out for me i mean first of all you got to have some talent um and you know you can't just say i want to be a musician and not be able to play or sing that kind of doesn't work but if you have a gift for it and you want to work really hard i mean it takes hard work it really really does and if everybody i mean if there was a secret like you know like if i could give you the password then everybody would do it right um but i would say you kind of have some people in your corner you you but everybody i believe that if you do the hard work and you get you know if if you're in a spot where people can hear you and see you whether you're an artist or a musician or whatever you do you're gonna get your shot and you just have to make the best of it when you get it i mean when i got my shot i mean i was an overnight success that took a long time and people didn't know who i was until they knew who i was right and when i got my shot god helped me to make the most of it and so that's what i would say to you and anybody who wants to be in the music business it's not all easy um i'm gonna be so tired when i get home tonight and then have to get up first thing in the morning and be creative in the studio that is not going to be the most fun people think it's all just really fun and it's what you see on television but you have no idea how hard it is but when it's uh if you want if you're willing to really work for it and work out it you'll get your shot i really believe you will it's just what you do with it when you get it other questions you throw your hand up let's see we're pointing at somebody is your hand up you're pointing you know what i'm gonna get one of you guys how much more difficult was it for you to learn how to play piano and do you play any other instruments besides piano i do play any keyboard instrument uh i tried guitar i was horrible you'd be horrified to hear me play guitar he'd probably give you nightmares it did me um but now i play percussion instruments too but anything with keys and how much harder was it for me to learn um in all fairness i really didn't have to learn uh that day when i started playing jesus loves me i mean that was just out of the blue i had banged on the piano like any other kid but i'd never really played and god just gave me that gift i mean it was truly a miracle so i didn't really have to play now we'll tell you a quick little story about that though the joke in nashville one of the jokes is that i failed the piano proficiency exam at belmont now if you watch my hands if you go to my youtube channel uh i also have a podcast it's called insight with gordon moat that you guys might enjoy if you listen to podcasts i have a youtube channel that you can check out um that's pretty fun but if you watch my hands you'll know that i don't play with the normal technique and because of that when i went in to take every every student had to take a piano proficiency exam and when i went in to take it i could play the scales as fast as the professors but i didn't do it with the right techniques so they failed me which was a little bit hypocritical because they asked me to play for all their functions they knew i could play so i thought that was kind of uh well i can't say out loud what i thought it was but that's what i thought it was and so i had to get with a instructor with an instructor sorry and uh i had to learn how to play the scales slowly so that i could do it with the right fingerings and pass this stupid test so i'm going to tell you a story that i'm not proud of but i will tell you because y'all won't tell nobody right a few years after all that happened they gave me the um they i don't even remember what they call it but it it they they give an alumni an award and somebody who's made it in the business and all that fun stuff and so they invited me to come my wife and i to come accept the award they had this nice reception for us and one of the instructors came up to me and said dr landis dr landis was the guy that failed me dr landis is on sabbatical but he wants you to know that he's very proud of you and wants to know how you've been doing with those fingerings now my wife was very upset with me that i said this and i should have had my filter on but i didn't i replied to him and said well you tell dr landis i said hello and ask him how many number one records he's played on lately yeah that's not one of my finer moments i wouldn't i wouldn't my wife didn't speak to me for a whole day so that was not a good moment for me but it felt so good so y'all don't tell nobody uh it's just between us so i hope i answered your question we got time for a few more all right gordon we're coming coming to you from deep in the balcony here's the next question yeah like this okay uh have you ever struggled with your faith in christ and if so how did you overcome that struggle and what's some advice you would give to people struggling with christ well that's good question um you know there have been times especially when i was your age that i had a lot of questions about why would why would you you know when all my friends were getting their driver's licenses and when all my friends were hanging out together and i kind of felt like the third wheel you know because i had to grab on to somebody and and when i felt like people were kind of making fun of me because i couldn't see because you know people can be hateful just because somebody's different and we as a culture when we see somebody who's different than us we tend to look at them in a negative connotation and that's unfair we should take time to get to know what's on the inside and um most of my friends forget that i'm blind which is the greatest compliment ever but to answer your question yeah i did struggle because i wondered god why why me i'm i'm pretty nice to my brother and i'm good i'm good good to my parents i don't talk back too much and try to do all the right things and i why why me why couldn't it be somebody else and if you if you love me or you loved any why would you why would you do that to me and then after listening to people who are a lot smarter than i am and reading my bible a lot i realized that god doesn't make mistakes and i also realized that he had always been there with me i realized that the greatest gift that i had ever been given was being forgiven of my sins because i had accepted christ when i was eight years old and i also realized that god didn't mind me asking questions he's he's big enough to take it and when i realized that i knew that i could talk to him as my best friend and he started answering those questions i still have a lot of questions i'm 50 and i have more questions than i've ever had and sometimes i don't get the answer as quickly as i'd like sometimes the answer is no sometimes the answer is wait sometimes the answer is silence because he's waiting for me to be patient enough to receive the answer yes so to answer your question yes i have questioned um i've questioned a lot of things but all the answers can be found in the bible in scripture and by praying and seeking god and i just encourage you any of you if you have accepted jesus and you doubt your faith sometimes don't ever doubt how much he loves you don't ever doubt that you're a child of god you've asked him into your heart he doesn't ever reconsider based on how good or how bad we are it's all been bought by his blood and there aren't any do-overs when you ask him to be your savior it's a done deal and you don't ever have to doubt that gordon we got another question coming from the balcony from our senior section over here jack let's hear it come on can you play speechless i played a little bit of it uh let's see okay if i play it how much time we got about ten okay okay they'll sing along that's what i'm gonna say if if i play it y'all have to sing okay so here we go a one a two a one two three four you'll see [Music] i wish we had a video of this for the guys [Music] [Applause] okay come on i don't know the words [Music] yes [Music] ah [Music] ah that was pretty horrible actually guys uh no yeah yeah so i gotta i gotta tell you a funny story i was doing a choir retreat at dallas first baptist church and the song tequila was huge at that time and somebody in the choir stood up and said did you play on tequila and i've been and the minister of music goes all right next question so funny with a question over from our far left section who had their hand up all right can i take my mascot okay um do you like have dreams or like it's like sorry do you like have dreams and like if so what do you dream of that's a great question so what you really want to know no that's an awesome question okay no that's that's an unbelievably good question maybe the question of the day uh that one and the last one um so what you really want to know is do i see in my dreams is that really what you want to know yeah okay all right i have dreams just like you guys okay when i sleep right but because i was born blind my brain has never registered what it's like to see a lot of people who have sight and then they lose it when they dream they see because their brain has had that sensory activity their brain remembers but because my brain has never had that activity in it it doesn't know what that is so therefore i've never been able to see in my dreams that is a great question we probably have time for one more right and then we'll play a song and let you guys go back to class all right i got a question okay go uh who's your favorite person to work with oh that's a good question um i don't know that's a that's a really i mean i i love so many of them there aren't too many jerks in our business um i've mentioned blake he's been a friend for years uh dennis shea i've known shea since he was 14. um darius josh turner uh martina uh faith uh gosh i i don't know um there's kelly clarkson is cool i have a lot of really good friends in the business people that i could text if i needed i mean example parker heard his shoulder in baseball a few years ago and i didn't tell anybody but riva heard about it she texted me and said hey give parker a hug from reba i'm really sorry tell him i'll be praying for him um so we're all just one big community um and that's really cool you know they're normal people just like you and me they just happen to be on tv and radio a lot but they're just normal people with feelings just like we have they all are insecure you know blake's worried that he's never going to have another radio hit you know i mean they're all insecure they're all they're all struggling and searching just like us and some of them are not christians so they don't have jesus to go to with all those questions but we do and that's the good news right that's the good news well hey let's play a song and close this thing out unless we have another quick question somebody's we have one more question one more okay who wants it uh kind of the same as the last one what was your favorite song to record whoo i don't have a clue uh it was pretty fun to do a little song called you make me smile uncle cracker cause that intro was just me being stupid and i was just like i was totally just being stupid like just goofing around and they were like that's the intro and then that josh turner song all over me i was just playing again i was just goofing off [Music] i don't know if you all know that song or not but that was a pretty big one for him uh interesting story 30 seconds people say how long does it take you to record a song well a lot of times we work on them for a long time but there have been a couple that we did one take at the very end of the session and it ended up being a number one song the two that come to my mind like that are darius rucker's wagon wheel we did that in one take we didn't have but 15 minutes we thought we'd cut the whole record and darius is like man i've always wanted to cut wagon wheel and so we did it and it was a first take and it was a number one record and another song why don't we just dance the josh turner song that was the number one song we cut right at the end of the session so sometimes it's we work really really hard and sometimes it just comes together just like that when we're under pressure okay we're gonna close with a song and the cool thing about this is we've never played this song together before is that awesome are you all ready this is a song this is my new radio single from my new album and just a little backstory if you go on itunes or wherever you listen to music and you listen to this song the solo that i played on this song was the day i broke this finger and so they have pictures of me playing this song with blood all over the piano when i finish so when i tell you i put blood sweat and tears into this record i really did so here we go you ready your day's already falling to pieces and you just stumbled out of it you ain't even poured your coffee and the voice of fear feeling up your head you're anxious about tomorrow when you ain't even live today if you've got time to worry then you've got time to pray just take it to the lord drop your troubles at then you've got time to pray you're looking out across the valley and it sure does seem wide and deep who knows what's written in the shadows the uncertainties got you losing sleep but you can kneel on these that are knocking [Music] just it's a way cause if you've got time to worry then you've got time to pray then you've got time to pray you've got time to worry that you've got time to pray you guys are amazing thank you so much give it up for this band too
