"Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for." --Will Rogers
(John Newton's original words)
written for New Year's Day 1773
Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace those fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed!
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
You can read it in the morning paper
Hear it on the radio
How crime is sweeping the nation
This world is about to go
We need a good old case of salvation
To put the love of God in our soul
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
We need more old time camp meetings
And a lot more prayers of faith
Prayers that will move a mountain
Save our souls from the burning wave
We need a good old case of salvation
To put the love of God in our soul
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
We need more old fashioned preachers
Pouring out their hearts in prayer
When you're in their presence
You know that the Lord is there
We need a nation-wide revival
To put the love of God in our soul
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
The inside story on red-hot conservative Glenn Beck. He reveals a softer side.
USA Weekend
Dennis McCafferty • February 21, 2010
The Glenn Beck most people know is the human equivalent of TNT — notoriously biting and combustible. The conservative commentator has compared President Obama to Hitler and campaigned (successfully) to get one of Obama’s White House appointees fired. He even slammed volunteerism, for goodness’ sake!
“Outrage is his No. 1 tool,” says Robert Thompson, a TV/pop culture professor at Syracuse University. “He’s obviously not taking the serious pundit approach. He’ll take a position solely to push people’s buttons. He’s not interested in nuanced, rational debate. It’s not political discourse. It’s entertainment.”
High up in his Manhattan office, which takes an entire skyscraper floor to house his TV/book/magazine/radio/digital media company, Beck surprises you in person as an approachable and fun-to-hang-out-with kinda guy. He’s relaxed a nd inviting, comfy on his office couch in jeans, an “I "Heart" Capitalism” T-shirt and sneakers that, for some reason, don’t have any laces. Over the course of a pleasant (really!) conversation with USA WEEKEND Magazine, Beck, 46, sheds light on the lesser-known sides of his personality. He comes across as, well, fairly human — and eager to reveal these 10 things that we bet you didn’t know about him...
