Why I Wrote The Song!


I was watching the O’Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel just a couple months before the 2004 Election.  A prominent Baptist minister from Oklahoma, Rev. Johnson, was telling Bill O’Reilly that “according to statistics 3 out of 4 Fundamentalist Christians did not vote in the 2000 election.”  I was shocked and outraged!  How could so many Christians sit down and do nothing and thereby allow the forces of evil to have their way unopposed?  How can Christians complain about the dreadful state of this country when they won’t even put forth the effort to get off their butts and get out and vote!

As a writer, I was moved to grab my guitar and within 15 minutes “Get Out and Vote” was written. It wasn’t like I sat down and thought, “Oh, I’m going to write a song about this.” It was literally forced upon me. I can’t really take any credit for the song except for being there to catch it.

Why "Get Out and Vote!"

I have felt compelled to stand up for what I believe to be the truth. After many years overseas as a missionary reaching others with the Gospel I came home to find that we here in Amercia are even more needy.  What we face here in the way of spiritual warfare is much worse than in foreign countries. As America goes, so goes the world and unfortunately we have in many areas been going the wrong way. We need to do an about face and get back to our roots, back to faith, back to the God who made us great!  

This country was founded on Christian principles by those who came here seeking religious freedom. It was founded upon the faith of our fathers. We are a Christian nation no matter what our leaders say. Yes, we are seeing that faith being eroded in many ways but that should make us fight all the harder to hold fast to those things that made Amercia great!  According to polls over 80% of the American people declare that they believe in God and yet we get pushed around by a very small minority and that is because believers don't stand up.

For more on my views of why America is facing the current social and economic crises, please read "All The Nations That Forget God... Psalm 9:17" and "Choose Life... Deut. 30:19".
