"I might
not be a religious man myself but I know good music when I hear it, and this is very
good! . . . I don’t think that I have ever given such high
ratings to so many songs before. But
the fact is that they are well deserved because the
music is amazing. Simply wonderful religious ballads and they
really get to your heart. . .everytime."
Fredrik Cole: Trax In Space
A dream is dreamed long before it is lived,
Few can wait till it all will come around,
Exchanging heights, just to go the easy road,
But they’re learning much too late.
That the day is the time to put our hand to the plow,
Building our foundations;
And the night is the time to close our eyes,
Taking a rest from temptation,
Resting inside His arms,
Resting inside his arms.
Born in the heart inside of everyone,
Is a life that will go beyond today,
Walk by faith and not by sight,
I know it’s harder, but it is the only way.
And the day is the time to put our hand to the plow,
Building our foundations;
And the night is the time to close our eyes,
Taking a rest from temptation,
Resting inside His arms,
Resting inside his arms.

"Very nicely done light rock song" TraxInSpace. This melodic song by Selah with a dynamic electric guitar solo builds to a dramatic climax. The tender lyrics brings our ever-present God near to our hearts. The sheer might of the song assures us that we can depend on Jesus who is a true Friend who will be with us to the end. (Jn 15:15)
Song Story
A gentle sax introduces Vanessa’s smooth vocals over a tender rhythm section filled with luscious harmonies Too many take the easy road. . .Too many lack the patience to wait long enough to witness the fruit of their labors. Those who rest in His arms will receive a just reward.
During the early nineties Richard Lightsey, a youth pastor at the Church that our group, Selah, lead Sunday morning praise at, asked me to look at his song. I noticed that it had some good lyrics and nice musical ideas, but parts of it seemed a bit awkward. So I rolled up my creative sleeves and hacked at it a bit myself. The result of this combined effort was Michael’s Song.
It was written to a friend of Richard’s as an encouragement to fight on with the battle that God has laid before us. Yet, those who fight can also find solace and peace while resting in the everlasting arms of Christ. It is a no-lose situation for believers!
The instrumentals came together right away and Selah was excited at the prospect of learning the piece. So, it came together very quickly. When we went to record it we called upon the premier jazz saxophonist, Paul Perez, to add his touch to it with most excellent results! Paul Cierely came added some great jazz guitar licks to round out this piece featuring the smooth vocals that Vanessa always delivers.
All-in-all it has turned out to be a relaxing peace that encourages all of us who work for God’s kingdom to rest in his arms.
