    This is a song about Cheap Grace, the idea that you can give God lip Service then live like you want. The gift (grace) of God is free but is wasn't Cheap. It cost every drop of blood Jesus shed on the Cross.The book of Hebrews states "You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your struggle against sin!" We give in too easily.
    Credits: Written and performed by D.R. Miller

    Story Behind the Song
    This is a song about Cheap Grace, the idea that you can give God lip Service then live like you want. The gift (grace) of God is free but is wasn't Cheap. It cost every drop of blood Jesus shed on the Cross.
    The book of Hebrews states "You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your struggle against sin!" We give in too easily.

    This song was recorded and produced completely with Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.03 with the help of Sound Forge 4.5 for editing purposes. Drums were layed down using Drag and Drop Drummer software tools. I tried something new with this song and it seemed to work
    pretty good. In the past I found it difficult to perform an entire guitar part without making a mistake somewhere along the way and then having to start over or struggle through punch editing.
    With this project I determined what would be reoccuring parts, like the ryhthmn guitar in the verse, It would always be the same so I recorded it once for verse 1 and copied and pasted into the other
    sections of the song where it would reoccur at. I did this throughout for all parts and it made life much easier. As always the vocals were again the trickiest and the part I'm still not totally happy with.
    I welcome all input and criticism from you in the music world in the hopes that it will make each one of my future projects even better. Tell me what I'm doing wrong or right, except the vocals I know they need help. A better singer might help but I can only use what I got.

    Lyrics
    Verse 1

    Saved by Grace, but who could tell.
    You live your life as if your going to hell.
    It's not my fault you say, it's the way I am.
    I said my prayer, I'm saved and now I'm in.

    Chorus:

    Jesus didn't die so you could live and lie.
    He shed his blood to set you free.
    Choose this day whom you will serve my friend.
    Walk in truth and not Hypocrisy.

    Verse 2

    I'm free in Christ you say and yes that's true.
    The lies accepting those sinful things you do.
    It's freedom from sin that Christ has set us free.
    Not so you can abuse your liberty.
