Do Not Disavow

Do Not Disavow By: Rick Davis   When Charlemagne established law Salic in barb’rous land, The gospel flourished, and he saw Christ’s praise on every hand.   (“Do you approve his methods now?”) I do not disavow.   King Godfrey took Jerusalem From bloody paynim hands And brought a halt to Musselmen Invading Christian lands.   (“He did some mean things anyhow!”) I do not disavow.   King Richard with his scarlet shield And passant lions ‘bossed Rode forth again unto the field To regain what was lost.   (“His deeds at Acre you allow?”) I do not disavow.   Unto the Germans Luther brought The gospel full restored, And Calvin at Geneva taught The glory of the Lord.   (“The Jews? Servetus? Holy cow!”) I do not disavow.   Stonewall and Lee like knights of old Fought for their native soil, The true and lovely to uphold Against the tyrant’s spoil.   (“Those vile racists broke their vow!”) I do not disavow.   Men

For Mom

My mother has made me aware that there is a severe lack of David Bowie on my blog. I thought I'd rectify that problem. Here are the ten best David Bowie songs ever. Feel free to disagree, Mom. (Oh, and I'm not going to take the time to look up videos for each one and link to them. You'll have to find them on your own.)

10. Dancing in the Street

9. The Man Who Sold the World

8. Young Americans

7. Saviour Machine

6. Ziggy Stardust

5. Suffragette City

4. Changes

3. Under Pressure

2. Rebel Rebel

1. Space Oddity

Rick!!!!! You forgot Heroes! Anywho, this is a good start. I would'nt have put Dancing in the Street. I think the original was much better. I would have never been able to choose the top ten cause I pretty much like all of his songs. Do you realize, Rick, that I had all his albums up until I had you. Thanks buddy. This made my day.

Mr. Dobbs/Martin: Based on your picture I can see just where they're coming from.

Mom: Glad you liked it.
