This writer has been listening to Christian music since the early 80s. Steve Camp has been a part of this almost 50 year experience with great songs like Run to the Battle, Guard the Trust, etc…
One fact I find very interesting is that just like Martin Luther wrote the Ninety-five Theses, Steve wrote his own 107 theses on Reformation Day (October 31), 1998, calling for a reformation in contemporary Christian music: calling Christian musicians to make direct, uncompromising music that confronts the world with the message of the scriptures.
He recently commented on one of my posts I shared on social media that he wrote on the most decent Dove Awards. He is currently still releasing music and is a pastor in Florida.
Today’s song has always been my favorite as it hits hard with its convicting lyrics. The song is as much relevant today as it was back in 1983. Check out the following lyrics:
” I was messing around With the things of the old life I didn’t think it would hurt Just a little seemed all right But the wages of sin it’s like a cancer within it crippled my faith Till I was hard against Him Now I know that Fire and Ice Darkness and light Can never live together it’s day or It’s night it’s wrong or It’s right It’s one way or the other With my life”
