going back to the lyrics

So, I know in the past I've plugged my cousin-in-law's band, this is necessarily one of those posts. However, one of their songs is the subject of the day; let's face it music and song lyrics are a powerful influence in many people's lives. If you jump over to the MySpace page for Jo Henley, you can listen to 3 songs on the built-in player; listen to If God's My Pilot, I really like the lyrics. Here's the chorus...

If God's my pilot, someone wake Him up behind the wheel
If God's my compass, how come his direction's brought me here
It's long been said, that faith is all we get
So if God's my captain, what is there to fear...

I'd have to say, there was a long time (and some times still) where this is exactly how I felt. There are days I wish I were the least bit talented at songwriting, because there is just something more raw about the way the message comes across... well that's the way it is for me anyway.
