"Not For Sale" CD
Original Music Lyrics

Rock Prophets "Not For Sale" cd cover


Bodega Bay
Perfect Love
Love Is True
Let There Be
God Only Knows (What We Need)


Bodega Bay

>>>
The story on Bodega Bay is that the words come from the writings of Ken Mansfield
 in his book, "The Beatles, The Bible, and Bodega Bay"
Scott and Jim were the primary composers. Scott Standeford's bass work
and Randy Harmon's drumming on the track are their own composition.


By Rock Prophets / copyright 2000

On a stormy night in my room, the Word of God is swirling
inside my head Trouble's brewing in Bodega Bay, and trouble
in my heart I don't understand Whoa Whoa hoo Whoa Whoa

In the middle of the muddle, God begins to meddle with my
motivations He's the way but He's in my way, when I'm trying
to go my own direction Whoa Whoa hoo Whoa Whoa

God's ways are not my ways, I go crazy tryin' to figure it out.
His simple truth will guide my heart
"Believe on Me", "Trust in Me" and all is possible.

I pray and beg for some conviction, some word to help me out
of my condition But when I heard His revelation, I ran for cover
in the wilds...

Your ways are not my ways, I go crazy tryin' to figure it out.
His simple truth will guide my heart
"Believe on Me", "Trust in Me" and all is possible.

The sun is shining through my window And the Son of God
shows me forgiveness His gentle mercy washes over me
Like the waves upon the shore...
Whoa Whoa hoo Whoa Whoa
Whoa Whoa hoo Whoa Whoa (Bodega Bay)

Perfect Love

>>>
Perfect Love is another
Tyring/Brunner collaboration. It started as a G7+4 riff
that was inspired by the
Beatles "I Feel Fine".
The song is sort of a fusion of Beatles styles from their early career.
Jim's guitar solo is very "George Harrison" and Randy's drumming is
Ringo-ish at spots. The lyrics simply cry for a Perfect Love which according to
1 John 4:18  "perfect love


By Rock Prophets / copyright 2001

I will climb the highest mountain
I will cross the raging sea
I would do most anything
For a perfect love for me
I will follow your direction
Let You drive, give You the keys
I'll do anything for your perfect love

You can tame the beast within me
You can free me from the cage
You're the Author of all Life
I will let you turn the page
I'll do anything for your perfect love

I would do anything
Give my body to the flame
Anything for Your perfect Love

I will follow Your commandment
Love each other as You love
I will heed Your Holy Spirit
Lead me gently as a dove
I'll do anything for your perfect love
I'll do anything for your perfect love
I'll do anything for your perfect love

Love Is True


>>>
Scott Standeford (x-bassist)
wanted to write a love song to his wife Darlene.
He began with the really
cool C#m7 and Bm7 riff and the song kind of took
off one night in
Scott Tyring's living room.
Tyring penned a bridge section and Jim Brunner made some chord enhancements.
The song displays
Standeford's Country and Western roots while
standing as a strong
pop ballad.
The basic message of the song is that the faithful love of others can
bring us
to knowledge of the faithful love of God.

Call my name
Things will never be the same
Since you came into my life
Loving you
That's all I ever wanna do
Since you came into my life

I don't know if I ever wanna let you go
When I'm with you I feel brand new
I used to say love will never come my way
Love is True since I met you

He Called my name
Things will never be the same
Since He came into my life
His Love is true
And I just wanna share it with you
Since He came into my life

I want you to know His love will never let you go
When God's with you, you feel brand new
And I wanna say love is gonna come your way
Love is True. He died for you

I can't explain, but I see God when I look at you
You took my heart and filled the empty spaces
Between you and me
there's a love that's heaven sent
I'm closer to God
because you've been so good to me

Let There Be


>>>
Let There Be is the
first song written for "Living Stones - Not For Sale" CD by Scott Tyring.
Jim Brunner and he struggled with the lyrics and Tyring's original minor key.
Brunner was
concerned that the song might be a "downer" because of its dark images.

Tyring desired to
share the hope of a God who speaks a creative Word into darkness and
Nothingness and brings forth Light and Life through Love.
 "The same
word that created the universe recreates my heart."
The end result is a somber lyric and "saucey" sound that explodes into confident prayer for
God to act again to bring light, life and love.


by Rock Prophets / copyright 2000

Out of the darkness and abysmal deep
Comes a cry, a call, the Shepherd's keep.
A presence eternal and pure hovers near
Time means nothing, Time means nothing
And Nothing is what began to be in time

In time with the march, with the beat of the heart
Of the One who speaks the Word of Command...
A voice cries out of the desert wastes
"Make a straight way, Make a straight way!"
Out the crookedness of human life

Out of the Darkness...(Let There Be)
Out of the Nothing...(Let There Be)
Where there was not...(Let There Be)
Where there was not...(Let There Be)
A Light, A Life, A Love

Out of the chaos, oppression and pain
A creature of the Nothing given grace to taste
Making a living. What are livings for?
When life mean nothing, life means nothing.
And Nothing is what was given the Life

In Eternity's Peace comes the Word
Word spoken to start the Time
Woman bears Life to the World
Spirit gives Life to the World
For God so loved the World that He gave...
A Light, A Life, A Love...(Let There Be) (x4)
A Light, A Life, A Love...

Out of the darkness of my abysmal life
I heard a cry, a call...a halted knife
A presence without beginning or end
Calls to me, calling me a friend
I worship, I move, I cry
And join The Voice of the sky

God Only Knows (What We Need)


>>>
This song was written in 1999 before any Rock Prophets existed.
Jim Brunner is Scott Tyring's guitar teacher and the two of them wrote this song as a
folk rock number. Jim wrote the verses. Scott wrote the chorus.
It was inspired by a sermon Scott wrote about Jesus' calling of the disciples in
John's gospel. They approach Jesus and he asked them "what are you looking for?"
Later, after the resurrection, the Risen Lord Jesus asks Mary Magdalene,
"whom do you seek?"
The good news is that Jesus knows that when the disciples come to Him, they are worldly.

They seek things, but after they know Him to be the Christ, The Lord of all,
they seek a person.They seek a savior.



By Rock Prophets / copyright 1999

God only knows what we're looking for
God only knows what we need
He is the way, the truth, and the light
Living in Him, we succeed
He is the One that we're looking for
He is the One that will take us home to glory
God only knows what we're looking for
God only knows what we need

Down on your life
Nowhere to turn
Look to yourself
The answer's there
Pick a quiet place
Say a prayerful plea
The Father lives in you
when you open up your heart

What'ya looking for?
Whom do you seek?
You've traveled many miles
to find that He was always the
Remain in Him
And He'll remain in you
The Father lives in you
if you open up your heart
