It is freaking scary, and God talks to that and he speaks to us right where we are. And I just want people to know that that is life. It was to say, look, this is the reality of how we feel sometimes, and this is the reality of how God responds to that. And that's what came out of my heart because that's what I was hearing, and so that's what I chose to leave it in the song. It's aggressive and demanding and terrifying. And I know fear and Satan and death - the voice of all of that is not poetic, it's not thoughtful, it's not patient. So that song is there for people who have felt like me. At the end of the day, that song is not going to impact somebody who has never felt that way anyways. It took me a long time, and I really sought counsel and had a lot of conversations with pastor friends of mine and family. The choice to keep that original version, which is straight from off the top of my head, really, as well as the edited one.
I usually figure it's good for me to pour out my soul to him, and that's what that song is. And the actual lyric is something that is from my journal - I don't know how everyone else has conversations with God, but I have very vulnerable conversations, and God already knows how afraid I am. That song is about the fear of running from God or that God will turn his back on me and I will end up apart from him in hell. The short answer is, that song comes from the deepest part of my gut and my being, and the fear that I face throughout my life - I've had really severe anxiety disorder my whole life, and that's been a major part of my struggle and story. Can you share the vision behind the song and the meaning?ĬG: Well, first I would say I think that for people who haven't actually listened to the record, or listened to that song, just listen to those last three songs in a row, and I think that it will be self-explanatory in terms of what is going on there. Spirit You All: About half the Kings Kaleidoscope's fanbase is about to have a stroke because Beyond Control's second-to-last song, "A Prayer", has two f-words on it. What was the purpose behind the song especially the usage of the cuss words? Spirit You All recently did an interview with Kings Kaleidoscope's frontman, Chad Gardner regarding their new album when the question about "A Prayer" came up: That sounds like a little hypocritical like the preacher condemning gluttony yet looks like a sumo wrestler. Basically, he was not approving the song, but when on to say that he does cuss, however, he is mindful of his surroundings. One person, who is a member of a worship band, said he hates when a Christian band cusses to become more edgy, raw, and authentic. Some praised it, others rejected it, while others are on the fence wondering if this was appropriate or not. There have been some disagreements over Kings Kaleidoscope's usage of the word in this song. Here are those lyrics with the word edited out: Last week, they released an album that featured a song called, "A Prayer," where not one, but two f-bombs were used in the song. The debate has become a little more, for lack of a better term, intense recently, but this time is pertains to the worship band Kings Kaleidoscope. There were stories of Mark Driscoll, during his preaching ministry at Mars Hill Church, dropping a f-bomb during a sermon. I personally not heard a sermon where the preacher cusses but I do have a friend that has been called the cussing evangelist because he has been known for using a cuss word or two in his sermons. We have heard stories of preachers using cuss words in their sermons. Is it appropriate for Christians to use them or not? Some would say depends on the circumstance while others say no. Of all the things we can argue or disagree about, it is the use of our words. There is a great debate with Christians these days over the use of cuss words.
