“But, Jesus the truth is
I’ve struggled so hard to believe…I need my maker
To cure of my doubting blood
And drain me of the sins I love
And take from me my disbelief
I know it should come easily
But it remains inside of me
It battles and devours me
It cuddles up beside of me
It whispers it convinces me I’m
Right”
The most honest, creative, original, authentic spiritual song I’ve heard in a very long time contains the lyrics quoted above. It’s called “Get Me Right” by Dashboard Confessional. “But they’re not even a Christian band!” I know. “This isn’t a worship album!” I know. “There’s no way you could sing this in church.” You might be right. “So how is it a spiritual song?” Because it’s real. There’s confession of sin. The writer admits his need for a savior. It’s musically creative & original. The lyrics are original. And, basically it says, “I sin. Help.” Sounds familiar.
“I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.” – Paul (Romans 7:18-19)
