while he sits up late in at night in the word of God going over scripture
after scripture writing out page after page for his message ... so that he
can preach every time the church doors are open... why would he spend all
his time doing that is it cuz he cares about the souls of others? how can
he pay his rent or put food in his cupboard? Michael is doing the same
thing he spends nights writing out and fixing songs as God moves over him
and helps him to write out each word...
and this song hits home for them it brings the tears it allows God to use
each word to press into the souls of us all to draw us back to Gods feet...
to allow us to look at the cross that we have laid down for us to hear Gods
voice once more a voice that says pick up your cross and follow me.. this
song draws us to that place... that place where we can hear God again
saying ...... don't go.... life with out me won't be the same... and as we
sing the words...
does not God expect tithe? giving to Gods house why would God want you and
i to give him a portion of our money to him at his church? is so that the
light bill can be paid so that there's running water and a working roof..
what about the man that preaches... doesn't he spend hours driving around
inviting people to church revisiting people who have been to the house of
God fixing the plumbing when he doesn't have enough money to pay a
plumber...
yes he could rely on God to send people who would just give him money...
but then you may just find fault with that... ya know what this song draws
people to God so many people who have been on the cliff of walking away
from God who been on the tipping line of just completely walking out who
just wanna give up who have fallen or gone back into the world people who
may not know how to get back up who are breaking or already broken
he spends his gas money traveling from place to place to sing the words
that God has given him to pour out his heart to God and to the people God
is trying to reach he spends his time and effort making cd's going from
here and there to put it on a cd so that he can reach more people he
doesn't have time to have a 9 to 6 hour job all his sweat and time is put
into the music God asks him to sing should he starve to death?..
Michael is making a living singing the songs he wrote about his
relationship with Jesus. He would be making much more being a Country
singer in Nashville than traveling from church to church singing. His
calling is to spread the Good News. If you look at the way you see this,
every pastor of a church has "sold out" as they are making money to pastor
a church.
I'm not for sale.. God just presses right into each heart that sings those
words and it gives us such a joy as each of us just keep on singing... I'M
NOT FOR SALE! YES JESUS! I'M NOT FOR SALE!!!!!!!... so to you he may be a
sold or worldly but I'll take this great feeling as God moves over me in
this song and enjoy it to the fullest you can have your option...
and I'll have this great worship cuz man with this song I'm sooo feeling it
THANK YOU JESUS! I'M NOT FOR SALE YOUR HEAR ME DEVIL!!!!!!!!!! YOU HEAR ME!
I'M NOT FOR SALE! I BELONG TO THE KING OF KINGS! YES!!!! THANK YOU JESUS! i
feel like clapping shouting and singing "I'm not for sale!"
I love the end of this song when Michael proclaims his relation with
Jesus...it is just beautiful! "I belong of lamb of God He purchase me with
His precious Blood; I belong to the Kings and Kings". Amen.
I Love your songs!!!! Don't ever stop with that voice and the meaning of
these songs What a Blessing !! God Bless You And God Bless American!! Pansy

This reminds me of my my ex-boyfriend who dumped me for another girl on
Sunday. I just feel so numb now. I act like I don't care, and I'm starting
to get over him, but I keep thinking about all of our conversations, how he
lied to me so much. He asked if we could still be friends, so I said yes. I
told him I wanted to kill myself, and he told me not because if they don't
work out I'm his back-up. He's not that great of person, smokes weed and
has a Juvenal record. But I just don't care anymore.
Well, You wanted to know what was wrong with me that day lst week... This
pretty much exlains it... My only problem is... I'm not quite ready to say
it's over... You've still got me head over heals in love with you... And
nothin will ever change that... I love you Tyler...
I always think this too, but then I realize that if they were MORE
famous... their music would start to sound more like everyone else's junk.
It makes me appreciate them so much more when they don't get mixed in with
mainstream artists and when the record company doesn't waste their talent
on music that doesn't even sound like them. I'm just really glad I know of
them and can enjoy their talent.
When My Best Friend Lived Away For A Year I Spent Hours Telling Her About
How I Really Liked This Guy. When She Came Back, She Started Going To My
School And Now She Likes Him. The Whole Situation Is Totally Messed Up..I
Just Found Out That He Wants To Date Her And Some Other "Pretty" Girls At
My School. I Spent All NIght Crying Wishing I Could Be One Of Them..They're
Everything Im Not :,(
I sang this song to my boyfriend and he said "babe I would never break up
with you for anyone you are EVERYTHING I could ever wish for I love you too
much to let you go" and three days later he dumped me :( and I said to him
" that was one long convo for nothing thanks for breaking my heart for that
loser" and me and that girl were bffs but now were enimes
this explains so much, i broke up with my boyfriend because its like he
expected me to be someone else. its been a year since we broke up and I've
been dating people and so has he. but now its like he could care less about
me and i know that he thought i was different
its funny how this works not for a boyfriend relationship but a best friend
relationship. This girl started coming between us and now I dont have a
best friend..and I dont miss her. She's a jerk. The friendship was ending
anyway i saw it coming
i can relate to this even though i have bf and loves me....and he hates it
when i act like something else.....cause he's always telling me not to
change and he meand but sometimes it feels i should change and leave him
Left this playing for my hubby as i pack my stuff and moved the hell out
!!!! hahaha this song is so true" cus the girl that you want she was
tearing us apart cus she was everything im not "!!!
It's especially difficult when your boyfriend's ex passed away :L cause
you're not sure what to say or what to do . Difficult for him & me. I can
relate to this song , thanks Veronica's!
this song makes me think of me and my current boyfriend, he wants me to be
something im not...... But i love him to much to break-up but enough to
change who i am for him....
This was the first album I ever bought, I was in primary school and $20 for
it seemed soo expensive.. haha. This song brings back so many memories, I
loved it!
Wow! This is such a great Backstreet Boys song. It can describe a real-life
boyfriend and girlfriend situation so clearly, and that's what I also love
about it: how the lyrics are so relatable. BSB RULE!!!
