Lyrics:
On any given Sunday
The saints are in the pews
They sing their songs and say, “Amen”
As the preacher brings good news
They gather ‘round the altar
And call on Jesus’ name
He never fails to meet them there
Lives are always changed
But on any given Thursday night
Down a creaky flight of stairs
Through a door that never shuts just right
In some worn-out folding chairs
There’s a different kind of desperate
Most folks never see
And if you think what happens upstairs is amazing
Wait until you see what He’s been doing in the basement
There ain’t a lot of shouting
Much less suits and ties
Cheap coffee and the smell of smoke
Some coming off a high
“Hello, my name is so-and-so”
“Hello, we’re glad you came”
And just like that, this worn-out room
Becomes a holy place
‘Cause on any given Thursday night
Down a creaky flight of stairs
Through a door that never shuts just right
In some worn-out folding chairs
There’s a different kind of desperate
Most folks never see
And if you think what happens upstairs is amazing
Wait until you see what He’s been doing in the basement
If you’ve never seen a miracle
I can tell you where they meet
I know at least a dozen
And you know one now
‘Cause you know me
On any given Thursday night
Down a creaky flight of stairs
Through a door that never shuts just right
In some worn-out folding chairs
There’s a different kind of desperate
Most folks never see
And if you think what happens upstairs is amazing
Yeah, we all know what happens upstairs is amazing
But wait until you see what He’s been doing in the basement
What He’s doing in the basement

The story behind my new song The Basement
Переглядів 9 тис.Рік тому
The story behind my new song The Basement is very personal, as many of you know. It's a tough road to navigate the trenches of addiction and the work that it takes to overcome it. I wrote this song to share the work that God is doing in those basements of churches and the miracles that transform because of His faithfulness. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, please share t...

    6/21/94 - a blender mixed with drugs & alcohol designed to end it all, and a shotgun on the couch with a round in the chamber and the safety off (that I had practiced dry firing for a month) if the drugs & alcohol didn't work. Then God sent angels with badges and guns to my door. After time in county, I met those men & women in the basement. I'm grateful for all of God's miracles and the tools He uses. This past June was 30 years of freedom from active addiction, thanks to those miracles God performs in those basements ❤

    This song reminds me of a meeting I would attend that was actually called 'The Basement Meeting' for obvious reasons. I was in and out of the rooms of recovery, treatment centers, and just broken until I surrendered my life to Jesus and found a program called Strength in Recovery (12 steps for Christians). I am 1 year 2 months and 10 days clean and sober and counting and never going back to that person I once was. I know that God has a plan for me, he loves me, and that I will honor and praise him until I see him face to face. Thank you for a beautiful song. Miracles do happen. I am one of them!

    Thanks man! I have been asked that same question over and over, WHY you’re STILL TALKING ABOUT YOUR PAST ADDICTION?? If THE LORD SET YOU FREE, you’re free in deed, but I always answer, The Lord set me free from the bondage of my addictions and now 15 years later still breaking my heart watching people that I love in captivity, they are hooked on drugs, alcohol, lust , pornography and other sins that was on, SO NOW, IM USING MY TESTIMONY TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THE LORD STILL INTERESTED IN THEM, HE WANTS TO SAVE THEM AND SET THEM FREE. SO PLEASE DO NOT STOP TESTIFYING!! God bless you!!!

    I went to soooo many AA meetings with my parents years ago. The difference was - this was a group that were not affiliated with a Christian church or group, so they were never ministered to from the Christian approach. They went on years later, after being born again, to finally conquer their addictions, but I have to say that they were never able to conquer their addiction through AA without that Christian influence and teaching. Some do - they did not.

    My bestie just shared this with me. This gave me tears!! I immediately pictured the underground church, secretly meeting to share the Gospel and encourage one another in the face of death and persecution. Believe it or not the fastest growing church is the world is the underground church in Iran. The Holy Spirit is moving mightily around the Middle East, and the “Upstairs”, aka America, can learn a lot from our persecuted brothers and sisters. Persecution is knocking on our door as we near His return.
