I am always dumbfounded at the "music" that pop culture flocks to and esteems as something more than the "pap" it is. Yet there are artist such as yourself...a voice crying in the wilderness, that seem to go unheard or unnoticed. Well...I noticed.

Thank you for the add.

Hello myspace pal,
Please consider a donation to the Red Cross or organization of your choice to help those
suffering from the effects of Hurricane Katrina.

There are two songs on the new Choir CD that may be of comfort to those that
have been hurt by Katrina. The Choir would like to offer both songs free as
a gesture of our concern and care for anyone that is suffering. The songs
are "To Rescue Me" and "Mercy Will Prevail" and the full lyrics are posted
at our myspace account at www.myspace.com/thechoirspace. Each song is a free
download. Please pass on these MP3s or our myspace link to anyone that you
think should have them.

Let's work together to help. For each separate, individual download of Mercy
Will Prevail and To Rescue Me, The Choir will make a donation to the
American Red Cross.

Thanks and God bless,
The Choir

To Rescue Me (Hindalong, Daugherty)

When I can't hold on much longer
To a rope weathered and frayed
When I can't find hope and I¹m losing faith

The savior reaches in
To still the howling wind
To calm the storm within
To rescue me
To rescue me


Mercy Will Prevail (Hindalong, Byrd, Daugherty, Chandler)

I wanna swear it¹s true but it's hard to defend it
I know it comes from You and I don't comprehend it
Love never fails
Mercy will prevail
I wanna swear it's true but it's hard to defend it

In the chill of a cruel word
In the nest of a wounded bird
In the shadow of doubt
In the smoke
In the smoke of a torch blown out

I wanna swear it's true but it's hard to believe it
I know it comes from You so I want to receive it
Divine love never fails
Mercy will prevail
I wanna swear it's true but it's hard to believe it

In the thrust of a bayonet
In the hour of deep regret
In a world gone insane
In the eye
In the eye of a hurricane
Paul Etheridge

Hey Eric! Thanx for adding me as we say.
I noticed you're a Choir fan. I posted an interview with Steve Hindalong on my blog if you're interested.
Later,
Paul
