Song for Haitian Relief Efforts

Let’s use music for something other than our own joy. Let’s use it to speak truth and encourage others and care for the widows and the orphans.

Let’s use it to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

I’ve written a song called “Have we Become Silent”. It is based on a Martin Luther King Jr. quote that says “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”. It’s been a favorite quote of mine for a while and it encourages me to use my music as a tool for something other than my own catharsis or employment. On Wednesday I’ll be recording the song and will make it available for anyone that donates to Direct Relief International’s disaster relief efforts for Haiti through my fundraising page.

100% of funds will go to Direct Relief International and will be directed towards relief efforts in Haiti if you type in “Haiti Earthquake Relief” on the donation page. Upon making a donation, I will email you an mp3 of file within 2-3 days.

Thanks for joining me in using music for the good of the kingdom.

Song Lyrics:

Have we Become Silent

Faith without works isn't alive

Because living hurts

And the worst thing that we feel

Is the numb that comes when there's nothing to heal

We begin to die the day

We become silent about things that matter

We begin to die the day

We become silent have we become silent

We were fearfully made

To stand up for injustice and to fight for our faith

Look how we atrophy

Weakened by our laziness and now we can’t breath cuz

We begin to die the day

We become silent about things that matter

We begin to die the day

We become silent have we become silent

The warning sign came with a slight discontentment

We quickly quelled the pain with our pills

Happiness addictions and fear of confrontation

Are the reason that we lying so still

We begin to die the day

We become silent about things that matter

We begin to die the day

We become silent have we become silent
