I sometimes write songs for our "contemporary" worship service at my Methodist Church. Much of the Christian Music published does not reflect a progressive viewpoint. Is there anyone else out there writing music that would be willing to share? Listen to the attached mp3. The quality is not great because it's a live recording at a worship service. But if anyone needs chords and lyrics I could share.

DON'T HAVE TO CHECK YOUR MIND - Janet Krech October 2007

Verse 1:
G Dsus C2
They say their hearts are open.
G Dsus C2
They say their minds are open.
G D C2 G
Testing other's tolerance a fundamental fear .
G D C2 G
Questioning beliefs I hope they don't hold dear.
Bm Em Bm Em
Will it be copacetic? Or seen as pathetic?
Bm G D
Will they write me off, or will they agree?

CHORUS:
G Dsus C2
You don't have to check your mind at the door.
Em D C2
Don't have to hide your doubts anymore.
G Dsus C2
Your questions might just end up teaching me
Em D C2
And opening up new possibilities
G Dsus C2 C
Your mind 's a gift God has given you
G Dsus C2 C
Let's share our questions and uncover truth
G D C2 G D C2
Take your mind and use it -- as a witness to our Lord .












Verse 2:
G Dsus C2
As we learn of Jesus
G Dsus C2
He valued higher thinking.
G D C2 G
His questions and his parables planted new ideals.
G D C2 G
Showing us with thought we can harvest something real.
Bm Em Bm Em
God gave each of us a mind. If we seek then we will find.
Bm G D
Do you think I'm off, or do you agree?


Verse 3:
G Dsus C2
The Spirit's moving forward.
G Dsus C2
A mighty wind comes blowin'
G D C2 G
Gathering in the people's minds so they can know The Way
G D C2 G
Bringing us together as disciples still today.
Bm Em Bm Em
I know it as I kneel. Is it something you can feel?
Bm G D
Will you write it off, or will you agree?
