‘Song Of the Year’ by All Star United
This song talks about bands whose aim is to win the annual ‘Song of the Year’ Dove award, awarded by the Gospel Music Association. Is it right to focus on winning an award by writing a catchy tune, or should we write a song to God with an award being a by-product of that? Is it right to have such awards? Visit www.doveawards.com
With tongues firmly in cheeks, our own band ‘Tongues of Fire’ made a video to the song, which received its world premiere at this service
Song Of The Year lyrics
Word to the GMA
I’m a big up trippin’
G gave me a song tonight
He’s my dog, it’s like I be Rogers
G be’s my Hammerstein
I’ve got a song from above
Give it up for Jesus
Let’s see if God gets a Dove
And then shows up to accept
This is the Song of the Year,
Let the message be clear
I don’t need you to adore me
‘Cos it’s all about God’s glory
Something’s gone very wrong
If we’re chasing the Song of the Year
Testimony Testimony
Testimony Testimony
I’ll never be the same
Holy Holy
Worthy Worthy
Something Something
That rhymes with Jesus’ name
That oughta do
Guess I’m through
Time to canonise
I like to write movies too
About Christian superheroes
Who join forces to ward off the Antichrist
It’s the Song of the Year
But God’s still unimpressed with our radio success
This is the Song of the Year,
Let the message be clear
I don’t need you to adore me
‘Cos it’s all about God’s glory
Angel choirs sing along
If it’s really the Song of the Year.
