God Remembered My Name

This title came to me on thursday last week and had some quiet time over the weekend and in about an hour the lyrics appeared. I write using a program called Masterwriter and they have some good deals going on right now for co-writers, so if anyone wants to take advantage of that let me know as we are all collaborating here. So anyway, it has been a stressful week. My 22 year old nephew was killed over a year ago and his trial is currently ongoing in State College, Pennsylvania. My wife is with the family at the trial and I am home with the kids. I have had some time to ponder all these events and miss the heck out of my wife. The song is pretty obvious, a look back at mistakes that I have made and the one who was there all the time waiting for me. I can't say that I am a great Christian or anything like that, but I do feel that there is a higher power that watches over all. I truly need to feel that way with every thing going on. This is for Michael and also for J.

God Remembered My Name
words and music by Gene Gorski

I've been to the bottom of every dead end
And vandalized the halls of my life
Scrawling my name without purpose
Never scratching deeper than the surface
Of what my life could be

Easy way outs and fatal doubts
paved the roads I've traveled
Alibis and convenient lies
Were the chains that kept me shackled
In the end I got myself to blame
Cuz through it all God remembered my name

I've been driven through my valley of darkness
In a cancer eaten Coupe De Ville
With the pedal stuck to the metal
Fueled by questions I couldn’t settle
In the pieces of my mind

Easy way outs and fatal doubts
paved the roads I've traveled
Alibis and convenient lies
Were the chains that kept me shackled
In the end I got myself to blame
Cuz through it all God remembered my name

I read all the books to seek out the truth
That stood before me all the time
I climbed the mountains for the answer
That was always at my feet

Easy way outs and fatal doubts
paved the roads I've traveled
Alibis and convenient lies
Were the chains that kept me shackled
In the end I got myself to blame
Cuz through it all God remembered my name
