Music is of heavenly origin, but the foe of all humanity, who once

walked those heavenly courts is ever near to degrade and destroy that
which God has given. There is great power in music to uplift us or to
demoralize and destroy us. In these days of turmoil and stress where
the popular Contemporary Christian Music, (CCM) has invaded the
Churches, many are searching for something better. Today we are
seeing Rock Music, Jazz Music, Ambient Music, Country Music, New
Age Music, Contemporary Christian Music, Rap Music, Disco Music,
Religious Music, Sacred Music, all being mixed together into one sound.
This sound reminds one of the three Hebrew men on the plain of Dura
with Nebuchadnezzars' image found in Daniel 3:1-7.

Sole Control Through Rock ‘n’ Roll

In shadows dense, a circle forms around a darkened figure
Whose cruel eyes gleam with a plot of subtlety and rigor.

This being once new heavens best, but overcome with pride
Was then expelled because he said, “I’ll be like the Most High.”

Now to his demons and Satan speaks, his voice intense with hatred,
“I have a plan that will destroy what God ordained as sacred.

But first mankind must be convinced to wholly sell his soul,

I have the vice that will entice, we’ll name it Rock ‘n’ Roll.

“Unprecedented in its reach, unhindered in its course,

It will prevail around the world, destruction is its force.

The words will speak of mystic arts, rebellion, death, perversion,

Hatred, lust they’ll all be a part of one great mass subversion.

It’s music will have equal power, strains which are oft repeat,
Sometimes 'twill come in mellow form, sometimes with driving beat.

“And thus will smother wholesome thoughts with rhythm loud and pounding,
Thereby will gain full-mind control with progress quite astounding.

We’ll stifle guilt, in homes so strife, send Christian ethics reeling,

Free love, drugs, and alcohol will seem much more appealing.

“There are right now some young who will set out at any cost,
“I’ll make them rich, and give them fame, but I will be their boss.
“They’ll draw the masses, singing my songs, and introduce my ways:
The body movements, makeup, lights, the flames and smoke and haze

“The screaming guitars, drinking blood, the ‘singing’, and much more,
Will crush the senses, rape the souls of young folks by the scores.

“Then suicidal, murder demons, go in strength to reap

The lives of dazed and driven young, and lay them at my feet!

I well as yet through Rock ‘n’ Roll gain worship and control,
And even take from God those whom he says are in his fold.

Our strategies won’t need to change, nor even will our style,
To get the church-folk will just paint a new face with a smile.

“Will keep its structure flexible, but all will have my blessing,
We’ll use a method smooth that will keep napping Christians guessing.

“But first some groundwork we must lay by raising up some idols

Who will with smiling faces quote some verses from their Bibles.

“We'll lure with wealth, sidetrack with fame, this method seldom fails
In changing goals from winning souls to boosting CD sales."

"Contemporary" they’ll sing first, and then with bait in tow,

We’ll sway the minds and change the hearts with ‘Christian Rock ‘n’ Roll.

“We’ll use hits like a drug that will grip young lives with addiction,
And many peaceful homes will be destroyed because of friction.

Some parents will oppose the young, with God stand for a while,
But many will then compromise, and say, “it’s just their style.”

“The pastors will let down their guard, they’ll want to keep their people;
With force will make a hit on those who cry out, ‘No, it’s evil!’

And thus was born in the industry of selling God’s salvation;

“it’s free to all,” they sang with gusto, “there’s no obligation.”

But then they post folks at the doors of concerts who will say,
“I’m here to make sure that you don’t come in before you pay.”

And once inside, they hear of love, of Jesus, and salvation,

Sprinkled here and there midst Satan’s driving syncopation (music).

“To help inspire you,” they said, “will put in God some zap,
By coming to you on your plane, we’ll help to bridge the gap.

“We know of course, that most of you consider God as boring,

But if you’ll listen to our songs, you’ll soon find him adoring.”
And like the devil’s crowd, some use high volume, lights, and smoke,
“While others say, “we’ll hold the crowds with stage antics and jokes.”

Then after songs with words that say, “We lift you up, all, Christ”,
They flaunt their posters, T shirts, pins- the brainwashed paid their price.

So has the church been mesmerized, by Satan rocked to sleep;

The fields are white, it’s harvest time, and who’ll awake to reap?

*But very soon God will arise in righteous judgment fury,

There will be none to stay his hand, no case by trial and jury.

You’ve sung another Jesus and a gospel that’s not true,

I’m not just love and mercy, I am wrath and judgment, too.

“You’ve used My word to ravish souls and savagely deceive,

But, know that I, the Holy one, have not your songs received.

“And thus have many been seduced and used for Satan’s goal,
I, God, am not the author of this thing called Rock ‘n’ Roll.”*
