Lyrics

For this reason the one
Who speaks in a tongue 
Should pray
That they interpret what they say.
For if I pray in a tongue,
My spirit prays,
But my mind is unfruitful.

For this reason the one
Who speaks in a tongue 
Should pray
That they interpret what they say.
For if I pray in a tongue,
My spirit prays,
But my mind is unfruitful.

So what shall I do?

I will pray with my spirit,
But I will also pray with my understanding
I will sing with my spirit,
But I will also sing with my understanding

Otherwise when you are
Praising God in the spirit how
Can someone say "Amen"
To your thanksgiving, since they 
Do not know what
Don't know what you are saying?

I will pray with my spirit,
But I will also pray with my understanding
I will sing with my spirit,
But I will also sing with my understanding

Well enough, you're giving thanks,
But no one else is edified.
I thank God I speak in tongues much
More than all of you

In the church I'd rather speak five
Intelligible words to
Instruct others, rather than than
Thousand words in tongues.

I will pray with my spirit,
But I will also pray with my understanding
I will sing with my spirit,
But I will also sing with my understanding

I will pray with my spirit,
But I will also pray with my understanding
I will sing with my spirit,
But I will also sing with understanding

Biography

I've been making music and writing songs since I was old enough to reach the piano. I now am a multi-instrumentalist and arranger, with experience arranging for every size of group: from small bands to orchestras.

Married in 1994, I began taking jobs as a worship pastor, arranging and directing bands for contemporary and "seeker-targeted" churches in Saskatoon, New Jersey, Kingston, and Hamilton. I currently lead worship at Harrowsmith Free Methodist Church in Harrowsmith, Ontario.

While serving as a contemporary church planter and music director for an Anglican congregation, I began putting liturgy and scripture to music in 2012... [more]
