Also I used a reason patch for the synth intro, here is the patch i used, NNXT "SQR Tennant" you can adjust the frequency paremeter to add buzz.   We added a drummer "Jason Parrish" to beaf up the tom solo on the end.

Hey God !

What a day this has been!!! Have you ever had one of those days that started out like the worst day of your life. Well, that was my day today at least i thought it was. I began my day with some discouraging news and had one of those hey God moments. You know when you say hey God what about me, what about me! I believe those moments are very important in our lives because it reveals to us what we really believe. Do i really believe God will take care of my needs or is it something i just say to people who need to hear it. As i began to make God aware of my problems, like it was news to him, i was reminded of the many many times God had already delivered me. One by one i could count each time God had been there for me. So, i decided to turn this “Hey God” moment into a “Trust God” moment.
“God is so amazing”! By the end of the day God had showed me a miracle in my life. He had provided for us in way i would have never imagined. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to thy own understanding”.
God is Great
see ya
