LYRICS:
You were loudly living
On your final ninety pounds
Crosslegged on the south porch
With a bible in your hand
And when I prayed for healing
My father’s words rang through the door
Son I don’t think Jesus is in business
Of healing anymore
Well maybe he is occupied with other people’s wars
Or he’s organized militia to fight the war on Christmas
or maybe he’s protecting our children from the gays
Who have promised to destroy this utopia we’ve made
In your name
In your name
In your name
The early fathers writing
To build a younger church up tall
Saying faith without the action isn’t anything at all
I know perspective isn’t static
Between what I see and what you do
But if you choose to stand by idly, then what does that make you?
Well I hear that you’ve been speaking through the man on the tv
And you’ve helped the Dallas Mavericks with their field goal percentage
So when my mother’s doctor calls again with more bad news
It’s an honest heart’s reaction - who, my God, have you been listening to?
In your name
In your name
In your name

This song really spoke to me because my Mom was diagnosed with brain cancer about 3 weeks ago. She had surgery to remove the tumor but the doctor couldn't get it all. She is in stage 4 with glioblastoma.
I know God is good even when we don't understand and I love Him no matter what but it doesn't make it any easier.
Kevin Qualls , my granddaddy had glioblastoma multiform. It's a rough road with a sad ending, but through it all Jesus is in loving control.
Thank you, Marina for reaching out. I live in Japan as a missionary and have been back to the states twice now to be with my Mom and help take care of some needed business on her behalf. She is a strong believer and has had peace through all this. She has periods when her train of thought just cut off. She hasn't been in any pain and we are thankful for the time we have had together. I appreciate your words very much.
My mom has been fighting cancer for two years now, and this song hit me like a rock. Your lyrics show such beautiful, child-like faith and a frustration with the church for focusing on trivial issues instead of a simple and loving gospel. That’s what we're all about. Thank you for this little reminder to be grateful.
This is so well put.
One of the most profound and thought provoking songs I've ever heard. Wow.
Came here because of the concert tonight. This guy has major talent, I hope he goes far!
Chills. Love this song and video.
This has been one of my all-time favorite songs since it came out. I just now watched the music video, and I'm not entirely sure that I feel it compliments the lyrics super well? Still processing for sure! And it seems it's maybe depicting Tyson's journey on his walk up the coast and trying to cope whilst seeing super 'Christian-ese' stuff all over and not necessarily feeling comforted, then feeling conflicted standing alone on the beach in the end. That's my assumption in any case! Although I'm going into the music video knowing a good amount of the background, so I don't know that a new listener would be able to pay attention to the narrative of the story and the narrative of the music video at the same time, if I guessed the narrative right. But I don't know! Maybe I'm over thinking it. Regardless the video is beautiful and the song is a masterpiece. Thanks for your work Tyson!
I think it's more of a character sketch and not intended to be a literal storytelling of Tyson's own journey... My interpretation of the video is that it's a vignette, with no small irony, almost a perfect "snapshot" along the journey of a possibly lukewarm believer or skeptic who is gifted with a curious and creative eye. He appears to be very much engaged in - and perhaps at times idolizing - his own perceptions and experiences of the world, and yet still very much at the mercy of the Lord's guiding hand.
As a photographer myself, I can relate to the character's wandering curiosity and willingness to engage in the stories of other people to find deeper meaning in his own path. There is a part of me etched in my boyhood that will never forget the incredible fire God lit up in my soul as His creativity came alive and inspired me to reflect it all straight back to Him for His glory, but there are definitely times when my views on His children, their actions and interpretations, and all of what's supposedly done "in the name of Jesus" are often very limited to a single experience or a mood or a very self-centered moment in time. But when I look back across all of those moments, those heightened little sparks of attention where I have ultimately been focused on God's constantly unfolding creation - in me, around me, and in others - I end up reflecting on Him completely... and realizing how deeply focused He has been on *me* all along.
Amazing song
Love this song!!!
Amazing song!
I love this song. Is that Volvo for sale?
Quick question -- what is the line about gays supposed to mean??
Thanks,
A concerned gay
Hi Hunter. This is Tyson. The line is referring to the way the evangelical church has acted in a self defense position instead of a caring and compassionate one. There’s a great article on NPR if you google it about this song. Thank you for being curious and not reactionary.
www.npr.org/2016/02/29/468091046/songs-we-love-tyson-mostenbocker-in-your-name This is the link for anyone with the same question, hope it will work for you. I had to type it out since UA-cam wouldn't let me copy and paste it on to here.
Pretty broad brush here. Telling sinners sin leads to death is love. If you think otherwise you are not loving people. Jesus always openly spoke agaInst sin and the dangers of the present and future it brings. He is/was not a free love hippie. He wants a new life for us where Her sets us free of what sin does. @@TysonMotsenbocker
Chords?
Tricky one! It's on a guitar tuned down by 1.5 steps and then it's played in G; but the song is actually in E. The main hook is a G to Gsus kind of pattern (I would play the Gsus like 3X2013, I think)
Oh nice so because God make me gay, so he sent His Son to protect children from another God creation. Ostracism to you buddy.
You also completely missed the point of that lyric bro. Don't think he was taking a stab at the lgbt community. Read into the song man. Stop being defensive. And know that you are loved no matter what you say or do. Wanted to throw that in. Peace brother.
To quote Tyson directly: "The line is referring to the way the evangelical church has reacted in a self defensive position instead of a caring and compassionate one." This isn't what Tyson believes. He's angry at campaigns in the Church that do this, because it's Wrong, and that is NOT what Jesus is about. To quote Isaac Peabody "My God loves ALL of his children."
God didn't make you gay. You have chose to sin and Satan leads you to sin. So try again. Also not what the song is saying. It is a sin. God made you to not be captive by sin so et Him set you free.
All sin leads to death. Love doesn't just ignore that. Jesus always spoke out against sin and told us it is killing us. He was not just a free love hippie.@@thenondualisticmystic
And if you love him let him know he also has been fed to and sin always leads to death. Jesus sets us free from sin if we let Him.@@christopherkimber7679
