just so simplistic and built around a simple dance beat or something. And they just say the same line over and over and over again. And I got a song stuck in my head the other day - what is that song that little girl does - Carly Rae Jepsen sings that song , “Call Me Maybe,” that gets in my head and just keeps repeat- ing the same line over and over ...
Oh yeah....
Believe me, I’m not putting her down, she’s wonderful and God bless her. But I like the songs that you write that have stories in them or some mean- ing. I’m all out lyrics. I mean like the music, but I love the lyrics, I’ve always writ- ten lyrics. I never was too much of a music writer. I’ve always had someone to work with, they’d write the music and I’d put words to it. That’s why I love this album. Every song as a story or some message. Speaking of that, a lot of your stuff is faith based and I think that’s fabulous. I wanted to ask you about “Just Like Abraham.” It is wonderful. Thank you so much. That song is about - I
go to Light Point Smyrna where I live and that church has had done so much in my life helping me turn my faith around and become a Christ follower. For a long time I went to church for the wrong reasons. This church has helped me to realize it’s about following Christ. Jesus gave us this great commission to go out and make disciples of the world. It’s not about actions and that’s not how we get to Heaven. It’s about spreading the mes- sage out there. Just Like Abraham is about that. There are some families from our church - our church is very big on over- seas

mission and going into Thailand and Brussels, Belgium and different countries and spreading the word- there are fami- lies who sell their houses and everything and just go and they move to these countries to spread the gospel and spread the word and start over from basical- ly nothing. And that just blows me away. To go out
and do that to have that kind of faith. And that’s just like Abraham. God calls him to move to what is now Israel, and just to go. I’d love to have that kind of faith - to just get up and move and go out and do that. That was what that song was about. I’d love to be just like Abraham and do that.
I’ll put an Amen on that. That’s one of my favorite songs on that record. That’s my friend, Dr. Jim Rungee,
